I found a recent video where you tried the baler you did all that work on . Must of been first crop 2023. After watching the bale chamber/ plunger repair I didn't anything but metal to metal it rides on. So I tried to bring something up on Massey Ferguson balers . I found 1 history on Massey Harris/Massey Ferguson square balers. Called ( Dominant Massey Ferguson balers). It stated, the all-new 703 baler had been developed and launched in 1957 and was very similar to what they put put for the next 20 years or more My dad had the small compact # 3 M.F. square baler But I'm interested in what the plunger slide on and how the knives get "adjusted", not to hit each other. as I tried working on an international sq. baler of same era. And I couldn't figure out how to adjust the knives. So the Massey article said, Roller bearings for the plunger were still some way off, but at least MF had now moved away from metal wear pads sliding on metal rails, and a new composite wear pad was specified This is about the early 60's late fifties balers by Massey , also states... Due to the position of the chamber shear knife, the static knife could no longer be shimmed, as in the 701, to provide the accurate knife adjustment. This resulted in more adjustment being required in the plunger guide rails, and so adjusting screws down the left side of the chamber were provided. Is this how you adjusted your knives? there referring to the new generation 1957 (#703) massey square baler
hi, I think the problem with the Massey Ferguson 12 is that the needle does not go to the correct height and the knitter cannot pick up the thread, so it disappears. And you can also look at the hay racks, they are under the knitting and below in the mine in the middle between the needles. they must be under a lot of tension. there may be graters on the sides as well (they are also located in the mine on the sides). The problem is that after the piston starts to turn back, the hay follows it, and when tying, the thread is very tight, and the knitting machine cannot take it
back when I started in the hay field I helped another fellow and we use 3 cut 5 or 6 cuttings every year and it was W a square hay and we would bale a 1,OOO bales a day thats going 2 make. 4 long days when U still have get the hay bales out of the field U still have 2 go back W a tractor 🚜 😊 and a hay wagon and its even worse when 2 people have 2 pick up all the hay bales by hand and throw them on the hay wagon then U still have 2 put the hay in the barn and at the end of the day U will be saying more than mamma 😮😮 U will be more than tired and sore and there will be no tossing or turning either when U go 2 bed 🛏 😊/😊😊 OMG 2 23 2O24
