We did it The problem with the knotter of the baler turned out to be a broken twine grabber (technical term don't you know...) and we were filled with dread - but it turned out our neighbour had a Bamford baler sitting in his yard that was being broken for bits so we were able to salvage the requisite part So all spun, baled and now in the barn. We got about 100 bales (300 last year) but the cut was less than good (topper) and not very short, with quite a lot left uncut so quite chuffed with the 100. The field does look like it needs a tidy up though!PhewWell done such a relief for you , some is always better than none
