No Strings Attached Guide To Baler Twine

When you think of baler parts, you probably don't often think of baler twine. However, in many ways, this is the most important part of the baling process. So let's talk twine!

Looking At Baler Twine

Baler twine has been used for centuries, used primarily on farms. There on the farm, it has been used most recently for baling hay, but in the earliest days, also to bind fence parts together. Baling wire's other normal uses have included holding things in place and even fixing things. It has extended its use beyond the farm to being used as a packing tool as well.

Using Baler Twine

  • As we've discussed, baling twine has been used as a binding item for those bales that mechanical balers produce.

  • These mechanical units lack the automatic feature, and as a result, operators must use wire twister to first twist the wire and to then cut it into its intended length.

  • They also tie the bales so that they hold their original form following the compacting.

  • After the bales are tied, they're loaded and sent to a storage area.

  • The wires are then cut when the baled material is needed.

Baling Twine Companies

There are currently several companies that produce baling twine. For instance, Olympic Equipment offers several twine lines. Their twine is known to be of superior quality; it's been tested and proven to be an outstanding binding material for the density produced by both new and used hay balers. Olympic boasts that they have a consistent quality, and note that their baling wire has excellent elongation. These traits make their twine ideal for baling needs. Olympic customers also find that their twine avoids safety hazards associated with wire that breaks easily.

There are many different variations of baling wire currently being produced. These include variations such as

  • galvanized
  • annealed wire
  • PVC coated
  • plastic coated
  • loop tie
  • economical bale wire
  • straight cut
  • spool
  • and several others.

Usually the wine sold can be pre-cut or looped to different length, according to individual needs. For automatic balers, there are also rewound coils available with different coatings. Twine can be purchased in weights up to a ton.

Buy Cut Baling Wire

If you prefer, you can buy cut baling wire. This variation is pre-cut in a size which has been specified by the customer. This twine can come in either loop ties form or its standard straight cut form. These twines are also available in several different diameters.

Where To Buy Twine

  • All of this leads to the question of where to buy your twine.

  • There are several options.

  • One obvious one is at the local farmer's supply store.
