Summary:A positive detent device for the needle yoke of a hay baler, the baler being of the type having a longitudinal bale case and a knotter mechanism disposed adjacent thereto and cooperable with a plurality of needles carried by said yoke to tie selected portions of hay contained in said bale case into bales. Said needle yoke and associated needles are normally disposed in a first position beneath the bale case with the needles stationed outside of the bale case. A drive, responsive to the actuation of the knotter mechanism, is employed to actuate the needle yoke from said first position to a second position in which the needles project through the bale case and cooperate with said knotter mechanism in tieing the hay into bales. The same drive is further operative to return said needle yoke and needles to said first position.
