[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1582199, member: 27848"] "I have ordered new net cutting knife and will install and cross my fingers that this will help." I have a '91 JD with who knows how many bales. My cutter wasn't performing up to speed so I added shims to the tie arm forcing it to put more pressure on the cutter knife. I'd usually run sandpaper over the knife to get the rust off and hopefully improve it's sloppy cutting. This year I took a piece of 2000 grit, folded it over making abrasive on both sides and pulled it through the cutter contact area with maximum pressure on the cutter control arm couple dozen times. Apparently it worked as I only had to cut 1 bale and restart 1 in 2 days of baling. Forget the price of a new cutter and mating bracket but was more than I wanted to pay. [/QUOTE]
