Abstract
The problem of debris fouling of knife edges causing sloppy cutting of baling twine is limited by providing a knotter apparatus including a rotating shear plate. A knife has a cutting edge in knife sharpening engagement with the plate. A groove formed between the cutting edge and the shear plate permits debris to be removed from between the knife and the plate.
