I keep a pair of long nose pliers up near the knotters for pulling out string when it wraps, along with a flat screwdriver for popping the billhook open, and a 10" Bahco adjustable spanner which fits just right round the casting to lift the knotter up without hurting your fingers!
how on earth is that twine so expensive? that's absolutely insane! Isn't it almost cheaper to import that stuff in bulk (it's 1.4 USD per KG, i think), and then build a little rig to wind fitting spools yourself?
You don’t actually need to thread the top string tho like that and tie it off, if you just put it through the tucker arm and drop a couple off feet in the chamber the bale will take it with !.
Love your videos Tom. Do you do both round and square bails? Obviously the square are easier to stack but are there any other advantages/disadvantages? Cheers 👍
I never knew Baling was so much hard work. Very impressed by the literal field repairs.
Another great video Tom 👏👏👍👍
Well done Tom, very interesting

Another top video Tom. Really shocked by the price of string.
Top tip, get some mag trays for your knotter pins. It’s a c**t trying to find them if they fall off the side

Round for cattle ring feeders squares get sold
I could sell you a Superchaser for collecting them up 😂😂
Try big bale services, there the cheapest for us for twine
so easy these days should have be baling in the late 70s far harder work
