New to the site, so howdy. Having minor problems with one of my knotters. Ties, but every now and then knot won't hold. Twine does not break, knot comes undone. What reckon do I need to look for??

Just rereading, is it only happening on one side?


Frank, the twine that they labeled was made in LA and was very consistant, we fixed a lot of different make balers just by the twine. The plant is gone and it is all offshore to the best of my knowledge and inconsistancy is the biggest problem. ....
