its time for me to stock up on sisal twine. the last couple years I used Brazilian Gold sisal. I had no problems and it seemed to work fine. was I just lucky, or is it good twine? what is the difference between Brazilian Gold and Brazilian Green?

its all about knot strenth. I used some of the cheap green stuff from the Farm store last year.
What a mess. I had to retie every 15th bale or so.
I purchased the New Holland twine from the dealer. Cost about $5 more per bundle but I never broke a twine.

Seeing as I am always running infront of a rain cloud at baling time. It was $5 well spent.

On the old manual tie round balers (like I use), it was/is hard to see green on green or gold on gold.

I like the gold on alfalfa 'cause it is just plain easier to see during the wrap.

Can't help with the difference but I use the Gold 7200 and have no problems with tying , rot , strength or anything except the price . I'm going to try the 9000 this year . I use well worn out 14t balers . ...Randy
