SECTION 2 - CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

The two remaining twine ends are held in the twine
disc, and as the needle retracts, the second knot is
tied (Fig. 8). Needles (9) then fully retract. The top and
bottom twines are tied together to form the start for
the next bale (Fig. 9).
As crop enters the bale chamber, twine is fed
independently to the top and bottom of the bale,
without being held in a twine disc. This eliminates
twine pulling out of the twine discs during bale
formation.
Finished bales are moved to the rear of the bale
chamber onto bale chute (7) and drop in the field.
