I had a 4x4 NI baler for 20 years, probably 10 years longer than I should have, but that is another story. After the string coo is Mrs out of the twine tubes, either the tubes in the home position. The twine should be trapped under the knife holder before you start to take hay into the bale chamber. My bale monitor gave up working a few years after I bought the baler, but by then I had learned how to make a bale without the monitor. HP is what makes a decent bale with a soft core baler. Yes a 50hp tractor can make a bale, but the bale wont weight much. I baled with a 100hp tractor and could make bales 600-700 lb. as for stringing the bale, I controlled the twine arms manually, just extended them out, and once the twine started to run, I would just move the twine arms closer to the home position. I liked to put on plenty of twine, and keep the bales well wrapped. Make certain both twines are running into the baler, or you can end up with a bale with string on one side only, a mess. When the twine arms return to the home position the twine retainer holds the twine, and the tension of the baler pulling the string, against the knife cuts the string. Be certain both strings are cut and held in place before dumping out the bale. Whatch the twine constantly while baling, because if it comes free from the twine retainers, it will start to feed into the forming bale. Just a word of advice, by a digital read out thermometer, the kind you aim at something, and read the temperature. These balers have sealed bearings on the ends of the rollers, and there is no way to tell if the bearings are about to fail. When they fail, they offen will be hot enough to start hay on the baler on fire. So when done baling and before putting the baler into the barn at the end of the day, get a read of the temperature of the bearings. If one bearing is hotter than the rest, good chance it is near to failure. They are a pain to change, but burning up your barn , tractor and baler , hurts more. Feel free to ask me any other questions about these balers operation, as I said , I had mine too long making well over a thousand bales with it each year. I cant remember much in detail about taking them apart, but I sure remember making bales

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
