Big balers and knotters!

I know everyone says MF/NH/hesston balers are the best, one of the reasons is there is never any pressure on the knotters as they double knot. I had a welgar and it held the string so pressure was on knotter and it gave plenty of trouble. Does the claas baler hold on to string? Any experiences gratefully listened to! Thinking of buying something £25-£30k. Maybe!

Any baler that only ties a single knot on the bale will have to hold the string in the twine disc, some Claas balers tie single knot others double knot.

Don't kid yourself that Hesston knitters are trouble free
