[AJD] 214 Baler

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

First and foremost, get an operator's manual or at the very least a photocopy
of the troubleshooting charts.
I normally ran a wire tire baler as opposed to twine as we were baling straw out
on the Colorado plains. IMHO, a wire-tie baler is somewhat simpler than a twine tie.
