Bryce, a few observations. First Delta Red's advice is good for his part of the country, but perhaps not for yours. I believe that you live where rain showers come through periodically, and almost always just a few minutes after the hay is ready to bale, LOL. If you live in rain country I would advise spending a little more time tuning. Second, in order to tune the knotters, instead of feeding enough hay for a full bale, "trip" the knotters after ten inches or so, adjust feed again and trip again, until you have the bugs worked out, so that you can go ahead and bale when the hay is ready, instead of working on it and getting the hay rained on. Third, your knotters should work well with plastic twine. When I switched over I checked with a couple of friends first, and they told me that the switch over was no problem. On the package of the plastic twine it said "works in all properly adjusted balers." I have gone back and forth between plastic and sisal a few times with no problems. Once you go through yours and clean and lubricate and check and adjust all settings, the plastic will work just as well as the sisal.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
