That guy is a dying breed. He is a trove of knowledge he can sit there and give a lecture on how this works and patiently explain every aspect of the situation. Love watching people like him.
-
Too many people today don’t appreciate the years of experience that gentleman like this have and contribute to the manufacturing and operation of not only farm equipment that other manufacturing processes
-
I am 45 yr old, been helping bale hay since I was a kid on our family farm. This was the best explanation I have ever seen along with explaining the wear parts areas to trouble shoot. Knotters have always been voodoo or black magic to us. Dad always said don’t touch them, don’t even look at them funny or they will mess up, lol.
-
Oh yes… the knotter. Man’s servant, and in a few minutes the best teacher of wrench throwing, accompanied by a few new words that your momma does not approve of. Then when you “read up on it.” A company such as Messick’s seems to place a true value on hands on knowledge. Thank you guys.

I'm not a farmer nor do I operate a baler but I always wanted to know how the knot was tied...Paul was the greatest teacher of how the knotter works..... and technology cannot improve it...amazing......and thank you Paul.....one of my many questions has been answered and thank you Neil. .
-
These guys are GOLD! They know their stuff! Thank you for this video. When the knotters go to hell, there is usually rain coming our way and it's not far away...
-
Thank you for a great explanation of the NH knotters. I took these for granted, 60 years ago when I was operating a NH 66 at the age of 12. Now I know the rest of the story!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
-
I started in a New Holland dealer parts department in 1978; lots of these NH square balers around. I sold tons of those knotter parts and watched the annual sales gradually die off to near nothing by the time our dealership sold in 2020. Growing up, I watched my dad working on square balers in both our fields and customer’s fields. Dad would’ve turned 100 this past week.
-
Great video, I really hope the new techs put their phones down and learn something from Paul. Once he’s gone so is all of his knowledge.
-
Paul’s knowledge is fantastic. Was great to get detailed explanation of the knotter
-
I was sent to New Hollands school for balers. We had to completely disassemble then reassemble a knotter. After that,I spent my summers repairing balers out in the field. Each morning I would return to the shop to replenish my stock and do it all over again.
-
Thank you Paul, wish I saw this 30 years ago when I had a 275 and 317 New Holland balers. Lucky I never had alot of problems with those balers. Very good brand.
-
Always happy to hear some think new for old guys that were repering them and they know them from inside out... very happy to see this video thanks !!!!
-
Great video. As a kid in the early 70’s, I was always intrigued on how the knotter worked.
-
A knot tier is a engineering marvel!
-
What a wealth of information there, hope he can pass it on to future mechanics, guys like him are fading away.
-
The man knows his stuff! So complicated design yet no Cad Cam was involved way back then.
-
Paul's great! Once again, genius design engineering endures. Fantastic! TFS
-
Immediately saved this vid to favorites. Hand turning the knotter is so much clearer then even watching vids of it in slow motion. Had to archive this in case I ever have issues with my 273.
-
Too bad this type of video wasn't available in the 60s/70s. Lots of farmers would have appreciated it. It would have been interesting to so the knotter on a big square baler.
