[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1582204, member: 4674"] Here is the e-mail I received from the Vermeer Tech Jack, The heavy knife should fit in your balers. (big improvement). Loosen or remove the belts and work from inside the tailgate to access the mount. Clean the knife/spring steel mount so there is no debris on it anywhere. When you position the heavy knife the bevel should be towards the tractor and the sharp edge should be about 1/16” above the flat piece of spring steel that lays across the top of the mount. The pinch-bar that lays on the flat spring steel should make contact all the way across on the flat bar and be just rearward of the knife. The front welds of the pinch bar should not hit the knife when it squeezes down to cut. Loosen the mounting bolts on each side to adjust up and down and back and forth. All of the parts the tech recommended came to about $127. Not bad if it works. The old knife did not have any edge on it at all. I have hay that could be cut but the ground is to wet under the grass to support the equipment. We keep having 5 to 6 inches of rain each week. My soil is prone to stay wet for some time after a rain. [/QUOTE]
