What we do we do and this came down from my PePa in the spring before we start we change all the plunger bearings and sharpen and set the knives. This keeps the plunger running straight and of course the knives sharp. So when I got old enough to start helping PePa I had to crawl up in the bale chamber to handle the knives. We never had any trouble with our baler operating properly but of course, we ran wire baler not string baler so about every five or three years we have to take the knoters off and weld up the grove and you are in them. We bought a used 316 I think it was, from a guy down the road and we like to never got that thing timed, that was where I learned to weld up the needles.

Dennis, you do have some fantastic shop toys. I always hate making all of those chamber and plunger adjustments. It seems like it is so easy to get things just a little bit too tight and/or just a little bit too loose, especially in older, well worn bale chambers. Making sure the bale chamber is squared up, right on, is extremely important on square balers also. Adjusting baler play correctly is one of my least liked maintenance items, but it is extremely important to make great, high quality bales. It is amazing how good some pretty well worn balers can do regarding making nice bales, if all the things you discussed are done to the best of your ability, even if the machine would likely be considered not capable of doing a good job. Great discussion with the video! Nick, North West Farmer

Hello from Bristol, hi Dennis. I noticed your heavy jacket on. We had 2 days in the low 30’s and am guessing that’s when ya made this video. I don’t know why I never cut myself until I’ve just had my jackknife sharpened. Seems like I’m not the only one . It rained all day sat last weekend and tomorrow it’s 50% again. Geez 2 Saturday’s in a row. I liked the last few videos but didn’t comment cause someone beat me to it, but I’m still here. Taker easy, see ya on the next one

Also something to consider about checking your gear boxes is if they are considerably low which I know is unlikely they would have more air room and could accumulate more condensation. That’s probably nothing to really be concerned about until spring though and if they were that low you’d have oil leaking somewhere.

Always hear you talk about equipment maintenance. All the money invested and how down time can rob you blind... yeah the consumer has no idea what it takes to farm. Took me a while to understand and I'm new to farming. (retirement job for me). Seems like a farmer needs to be a mechanic, a scientist, a businessman, and maybe a couple of other hats to wear.
