Anyone broken the needle on a New Holland 940 conventional bailer? The original left needle broke about 2 years ago, without finding the cause I put it down to fatigue but this year the replacement was destroyed before I did 20 bales of hay. Probably done 2000 bales between brakes without showing any problems and then without any warning BANG. The needle ended up in not 2 but 3 pieces and before I invest in another new one I would like to have some idea how it happens!

PS if anyone has a spare 940 needle lying around....
