Got to make a few small square bales today, jokers have been saying thunder storms every day since last Thursday, finally I mowed a patch on Monday, just baled it up, wish I could have mowed more. Everything worked great except the thrower on my JD 346 baler. I must have to oil the pipe that the trip paddle is mounted on, or adjust it so it trips faster, mine almost lays over vertical befor it kicks! I can't complain I got the hay in.
 
Jay have fun with that kicker adjustment. I had to call a friend to bale for me Sunday. both my baler and tractor quit. So he came over and after a few bales he was adjusting the kicker. We adjusted for 4 hours and baled for one. It was doing the same thing as yours is. Finally in order to at least get one wagon loaded I, with my arthritic hips and knees with no cartilage walked beside the baler for about 70 bales tripping it manually. Fortunately I had two pick up in the field customers lined up and they picked up about 90 off the ground. The trigger would lay right down flat without tripping but you could also with a little wiggle to it have it trip nicely one time after another. he was supposed to have the dealer coming to look at it because he just got it last year.
 
Ya, what's up with that? Sometimes the knotters act up, but
never the kicker? I can't believe u had the same trouble! It
almost came down to that, calling dad and having him walk
buy it and manually trip it! Lol
 
Did u guys cut anything? Was a tough call with this weather, I only did 100 or so bales. Just to make sure everything works.
