Tie the twine ends in as tight a square not as you can, cut the excess off as close to the knot and roll the knot in your hand. My grandfather had shown me this and it works most of the time on my 271 NH.
@@stephendors8769 I remember trying it that way once. It pulled apart on me too. But I have got to wondering if it pulls apart easier because I’m using that treated twine rather than plain sisal twine?
@@stephendors8769 this is the green 9,000 twine. The 7200 twine is hard to find around here nowadays. Although the 7200 is what those balers were designed for
A 68, yeah? Had a Super 66 when I was growing up in New York state. Hammered out 3000 or so bales every year. I stacked them on the wagons right behind the baler. Might have had 200 missed ties a year, most of them I caught before they got out of the baler. Dad used his pocket knife to set pressure on the bales. Length of the blade, plus the bolster cover. Made a good starting point for weight.
@@dawsoncanfield5386 I have a New Holland 66 here that I haven’t messed with yet. It still has the Wisconsin two cylinder engine on it and it isn’t stuck. I might mess with it before too long
Well now I have hay-fever lol, love seeing the old equipment being used, thanks for the video 👍😁

@@BlackLabGarage I use the green or tan colored sisal.

That dry spell was rough in carolina as well.
@@richardkimrey well I’m not far from the NC state line. I’ve seen a lot of loads of hay going from here to NC.
