A tying mechanism (40) for a baler, operable to produce two successive knots (70a, 68b) in a pair of strands (64a,66a / 64b,66b) during one full operating cycle of the tying mechanism (40); the mechanism (40) comprising a twine holder (86) for maintaining the pair of strands (64a,66a / 64b,66b) in a suitable position throughout the complete formation of a first one (70a) of said two successive knots and to continue to maintain the pair of strands (64b, 66b) in a suitable position during the initial stage of the formation of a second one (68b) of said successive knots, and a cutter (94) co-operating with the twine holder (86) for severing the strands (64a,66a) during formation of said first one (70a) of said two successive knots. The tying mechanism (40) further comprises releasing means (109,200) to release said pair of strands (64b,66b) from the twine holder (86) before full completion of said second one (68b) of said two successive knots. No twine tails will be formed, preventing knotter problems occurring during the baling process. Also environmental pollution will be prevented since no twine tails will be removed from the baler. <IMAGE>
