Hi, I just registered and joined this forum. I am new to farming equipment and need some help to know if i am going in the right direction.
I picked up a Massey Model 3 Square Bailer for a song, it packs the hay in there pretty good, but when tying the string, one side doesn't quite finish the knot (seems to be only half the knot of the other side).
I figure that these things were made to fix in the field with simple tools, so I guess I'm just not seeing what I need to adjust or fix.
My father-in-law (previous owner) said it worked great the last time he used it up until the last wind-row and it started doing this. Again, makes me think that it has got to be something simple.
help and advise to know what to look for and tips on adjusting would be greatly appreciated.
