I'v got two of them. Pulled first with a JD B and a Farmall 200. no live power in not a real problem, just back off and get baler moving before you get into windrow. Can always slip into neutral to clear bunches of hay if you get a buildup. I've had lots of issues with knotters, proper adjustment is critical. be sure hay dogs are good and operating properly, inspect for broken springs. Be sure knife on plunger sharp and properly adjusted. Bale density cranks on back can have influence on knotter performance as well. Feeder forks need to be properly adjusted. Can have a lot to do with creating or not creating banana bales.
Do not ride on baler to watch knotter action. First of all, it happens so fast that you cant see what happened. Second, you will sooner or later allow your hand to slip between housing and needle basket crank, and you'll get a serious injury to hand. My second baler has a shield over that part, see yours doesn't. If you want to see knotter in action, with power shut off, have a helper slowly turn flywheel, so you can see it in action. Keep ypur hands in your pockets!

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
