Abstract: A twine knotter including a bill hook for forming a knot in a twine, a twine holding device for clamping twine with a twine holder and a twine disk rotatable relative thereto, the twine disk having recesses over its circumference for receiving twine, a twine feeding device for feeding twine over the bill hook into the twine holding device, and a twine knife for cutting twine. The twine disk has at least two pairs of recesses over the circumference, each pair of recesses having a front recess in a direction of rotation of the twine disk for receiving a single twine strand or a single twine strand pair and a rear recess for receiving a further single twine strand or said single twine strand pair.

Abstract: A flail assembly for a straw chopper shaft including: a bolt element passing through the mounting hole of the bracket, an anti-rotation element supporting the bolt element on the bracket against rotation, a first flail having a bore and being seated on the bolt element with said bore, a first fastening element connected to a first free end portion of the bolt element, and a first washer having a bore with which the first washer is seated on the bolt element. The first washer is between the first fastening element and the first flail, and is radially slotted. The bolt element is axially braced with the first fastening element relative to the longitudinal axis of the bolt element and a smallest cylindrical envelope of the first fastening element coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the bolt element has a smaller radius than the bore of the first flail.
