Our <strong>baler parts<\/strong> cover the tying system: <a href=\"https:\/\/valmyfrance.com\/en\/parts\/knotter-bill-claas-0803901\/\">knotter bills<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/valmyfrance.com\/en\/parts\/baler-needle-claas-markant-804523\/\">baler needles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/valmyfrance.com\/en\/parts\/twine-knife-claas-0803905\/\">twine knives<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/valmyfrance.com\/en\/parts\/pick-up-tine-claas-807297\/\">pick-up tines<\/a>. They are designed to keep up with the pace of the season, without breaking at the wrong moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tying is a matter of precision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good knot depends on parts that fit perfectly together: the bill, the needle, the knife and the spring tension. That is why we start from the manufacturer&#8217;s original part, our engineering office redraws it, and we have <strong>our own moulds<\/strong> made. Each part number is then approved in the laboratory before production, to fit like the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warning signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Missed knots, bales coming apart: the <strong>knotter bill<\/strong> is worn or out of adjustment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The twine reaches the knotter badly: the <strong>needle<\/strong> is bent or worn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frayed, badly cut twine: the <strong>twine knife<\/strong> has lost its edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tying too loose or uneven: the <strong>spring<\/strong> has lost its tension.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare the season before it starts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best breakdown is the one you avoid in the workshop. Before the season, check the knotter wear parts and keep the most stressed ones in reserve: a spare bill or twine knife saves a day of baling. Send us the part number or a photo of the part: we confirm the match before shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The fair price, even at the height of the season<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We prepare stock in advance, so the part ships quickly when the season is in full swing. And because we work directly, with no middlemen, the price stays fair compared with the big brands. In other words, we don&#8217;t cut corners on quality, we cut margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For knotter and needle adjustment, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Claas<\/a> manufacturer&#8217;s manual remains the reference.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During harvest or haymaking, a baler at a standstill means bales left on the ground and a job falling behind.
