1. put the twine in the twine box and pull twine from the ceter of the ball. 2. pass the twine through the guides in the lid of the twine box and then through the guides at the left rear of the twine box, through the holes to the outside of the box and through the tensioner (the little plate with the spring on it), through the guide at the bottom of the box, to the left of the spring bracket, throught the eye of the take-up spring, through yet another guide, and then one last guide at the end of the needle, through the eye of the needle and tie the twine off to the cross member to anchor it in place. 3. repeat for the other side. 4. now trip the knotters and the needles will bring the twine up to the knotters and put it in the twine grip. 5. go to baling, if the knotters are set correctly it should start tieing the string. 6. best bet is to buy the operators manual for it, it is a real time saver to have.

John Deere, Case IH/Agritrac, New Holland and Massey are the main companies that produce balers, primarily small square, large square, and large round. The large square baler is the most expensive to purchase. SINOBALER is a specialized baler manufacture based in China. Balers manufactured include cardboard baler, textile baler, bottle baler, tyre baler, fiber baler as well as various kinds of vertical balers and horizontal balers.
Check the operator's manual, if you have one. It should tell you in there.
Go to Vermeer website and get a operators manual if you are a new owner. Also does it have dual tie or single tie?
