Hi
Problems with second knot not tying , it might happen with all 4 at the same time , any ideas will be helpful ,new Holland d1010 , is there a set tension on bottom twine springs ?

If you have changed string you will probably need to adjust the twine disc tension, tighten half a turn at a time and only make one adjustment at a time. Thinner string will pull out before the bill hook has fully rotated it leaving a only a knot in the bottom string and slipping the top string.

Was working perfectly with twine that’s on it , then it decides to lose all 4 second knots , first four are ok .

Is there a part formed knott in either top or bottom string?

My thoughts would be as my first post if that is the case then.

Just looked at the baler and the string is Cortesi one is 7200 and the other is 7200+ , the + one looks thinner , as to twine disc tensioner all I can see is a long flat kind of spring, is it possible these might have cracked , and a flat spring type on billhook.

I'm using cotesi 8600, the nut I'm on about it being pointed to.

Yes I thought perhaps it was that one , I know that those springs do give in sometimes, I’ll tighten that nut as you suggested , won’t have anything to put through it for a while still growing down here in west Wales, many thanks for your advice much appreciated,
Thanks
