So, you're saying that the baler makes a knot, but then it breaks just to the side of it on the twine? If so, it's in the knife thingy (I'm so exact, I know). If it's not tying at all, it's the billhook. You may have to beat on it just a LITTLE bit so that it'll pick up and knot the twine correctly. Are all the springs on the knotters okay?

I'd say it's definitely a Knife problem.May need an adjustment. If it were not tying at all, it would be a Knotter.

Do you have an owners manual , most of them have a section in the back for troubleshooting the knotters ,it will show you what the different problems look like and it will tell you what things to check to correct it. that's usually how I get going again.

Try a Google search on your Baler. You may be able to find a manual online.Whereabouts in TN. are you?

Is the string breaking, or is the knot coming untied?

Just wondered if you were close by. Would have been glad to look at it for you. You're 125 miles away.

Did you try loosening the bale chute up?

Agree with Mike. Sounds like you need to try loosening the cranks a little bit. Can't put five pounds of stuff in a four pound sack.

True, if the bales are too heavy, they'll bust. Is the hay cured enough? No big green clumps, right?

Otherwise, since one side is tying right and the other is tying, then slicing the twine, the knife is giving you problems. Not sure on cost.

I might be wrong, but doesn't an IH baler just pull the string over the knife to cut it? Or does it have a knife that actually sweeps and cuts the twine? I believe it's something simple wrong with this baler. Like string catching on something or the bales are too tight.

 

[HatCreekFan]

MikeC, I agree with the knife maybe brushing the twine a little, and weakening it enough to break. Yes, it's something simple


I will defer to you...I'm only familiar with our NH 575 baler. We've really bonded these past few summers

so the baler can be fixed there ant no reason to sell it then right.. o yea and on the IH balers do have cutters and after yall are telling me this stuff i think i may need to go get a new cutter.thanks if yall think of any more comments tell me thanks.... Jason

If you were closer I would say it is beyond repair and you should sell it to me for scrap metal prices. :lol:

No, you have received some good advice here. I have an real old NH that I did all the knotter adjustments on and it hasn't missed a bale since. One adjustment had to be made with a 24 pipe wrench and a hammer. There was no other way to get the clearance to spec other than that.

Here, take a look on ebay. It's the manual you need. Are you sure it's a IH430 and not a NH430?

I used to have a Ford that would cut the twine behind the knot on one side and not tye on the other when you ran it to fast. Throttle back some below 540 rpm mark and it made bales all day.
I'd try making a looser bale also.
