How do adjust the knotters on #12 Massey Fergurson hay baler
Adjust tension on the line feeder inside the baler.
Unless used with care and safety in mind at all times, the main disadvantage of a hay baler (and many other farm equipment) is that you could become trapped, hurt or killed in the machinery. Never, ever, try to adjust the baler while the tractor/take off is running.
No need to answer I've just got the book for the baler and have made correcting adjustments....... Thank you............
No.
The inventor of the hay bailer was a man named Innes. It was invented in 1936. the hay bailer was not the large round bailer but the small square bailer
A round bail of hay is cheaper. The cost of a single bail of hay times the amount in a regular round bail is alot more in price. A round baler is more expensive.
To set the timing on a Massey Ferguson 12 hay baler, you'll need to ensure that the plunger and the knotters are synchronized properly. Generally, this involves adjusting the timing gears so that the knotters engage at the correct moment as the plunger reaches the end of its stroke. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's specifications in the operator's manual for precise adjustments. Regular maintenance and inspection of the timing mechanism can help ensure optimal performance.
One can purchase a hay baler from a store which offers farming equipment such as hay balers. They can also be purchased online from general retailers such as eBay, which will usually be second hand.

have no clue but Ed Nolt invented it
hay is picked up by a the pickup tines, then pushed perpendicularly by a "fork". it is then compacted into slabs by the plunger and tied with twine by the knotters. the bale then comes out the back of the baler.
