That's pretty much normal for an IH baler with any time on it, IMHO. We went through two of 'em, a 430, and a 435. The 430 never worked right from the get-go, but Dad struggled with it for over 10 years anyway. Eventually it got so bad he gave up and bought the 435. The 435 was new and worked okay for a few years, but as it started to wear a little, it developed the exact same problems, constantly breaking the knot on one side.

We had the best baler guys from all over come and look at both balers, adjust, replace parts, adjust some more, adjust, adjust, adjust... These were guys that were supposedly so good that there was no such thing as a baler that they couldn't fix. Well, they couldn't fix either of these balers.

Neither baler spent a night at Dad's farm outdoors, never saw a drop of rain, were greased daily, were kept clean, and looked like new when he traded them in. It wasn't like they were abused.

He finally had enough, bought a late model New Holland at an auction, and never looked back. When the NH baler breaks a bale, the hay is too wet to bale.

The difference is that IH used one type of knotter, the McCormick design if I'm not mistaken, and ALL the other manufacturers use the Deering design. That should tell you something right there.
