Really enjoy your videos. I recently picked up a MF 12 baler as my first baler and it is not stripping the knot one side. Wondering if you any suggestions or maybe if you could do a video on how the knotters work.
I'm not understanding why that adjustment could have slipped. Unless the main gear box has an issue, that can't move out of time. Your problem has to be in the chains that move the rear assembly. Chain has gotten too loose and jumped the sprocket teeth a notch or two. That or someone has removed or added a link in one of those chains. Those chains have got to have the correct number of pins in them in order to stay in time. I've had numerous balers come to me with timing issues only to find out that the operator has changed the length of one of those timing chains, to cure excess stretch/ wear. After a few turns of the sprocket, it's out of time. It changes the distance the driven sprocket turns in comparison to the driver. I've had people argue with me about this till their blue in the face, that it makes no difference, but any baler tech that knows his subject, knows better.
Thanks for the comments. The chain jumped timing when the tensioner sprocket loosened. The sprocket loosened when the bearing stiffened up, and the natural rotation of the sprocket shaft loosened the nut.
Thank you so much for sharing this. This is so helpful to me and so many more.! Kind regards from Holland
Glad it was helpful!

hree of them really
I just got a massey 12 this year how did the plunger get out of time did it slip on the gear?
The idler sprocket came loose. The bearing was frozen, and the rotation of the chain loosened the bolt.
