JD 336 baler question

[Anonymous-0]

Tried the "new to me" 336 small square baler tonight. I put two new spools of 9000 plastic twine in it. The knotters missed about the first 5 bales when it switched from the old sisel to the new twine. (Think the splice not was too big) anyway, then it tied like a champ for the next 30 bales. That's all I got done before it started raining again. On one of the knotters it seems that the plastic twine is getting torn instead of cut cleanly and then it seems to leave some of that twine wadded up in the knotters. Do I just need to sharpen the small cutting blade?
Thanks

Sharpen or replace but take a big wallet they ain't cheap.

Get a manual on the baler it has a great lot of info on setting it up and what to do when the knotter fails. More than we could ever tell you on this site.

It takes fine sharp edge for heavy twine $12-16 each in our country worth it.
