Well my New Holland #65 missed a bale yesterday. It had tied 1451 without missing. This happened when it was changing twine balls. Darn't probably my fault when I made the splice.

Never had trouble with the tying two twine bales together but my NH 78 and Ih 46 will miss a bale every once in while just to let you know that they can do it. Darn things must have a brain in there someplace.

We had a JD 14T when I was a kid at home and Dad said the only time it missed a bale was when of of boys tied a bad splice.

I'm new to the world of square balers. What is the proper way to make a splice in wire?

Hold the two wire ends in an X with a 3" extra past the intersection. Now twist an end around and around the other piece (new spool toward the old and vice-verse). Try and do it nice and tight and use a pair of pliers to wrap the very end close to the wire so it won't catch on the wire guides. New Holland makes a little tool that does it nice but I don't recall having much problem with spices going through unless it happens to come up right at the twister. Glad I don't do wire bales any more though.

Glad I don't buck those wire bales anymore!
Seems the fellas that had wire tie always added another 50# to each bale.

Some of them bales were REAL HEAVY and bucking them up over your head was ROUGH WORK! Better hope the ol' boy on the wagon was good with that hay hook 'cause you sure didn't want to pitch it up there again!!
