Bale mostly with round baler but now have a square baler to have just a few squares in case of sick cow etc.
Baler is JD 346 and was baling good, till towards end of box of wire then started to miss some. Some one told me that when you get to end of box you will have problems with baler tieing.
Some people have told me they would let box run out of wire then re thread it. others would go ahead and cut wire when box got low and splice the wire together. The manual says just to tie the 2 boxes together.

Baler did good only problem I had was 20 bales before and after the new wire was put in. other 550 we baled up went good.
So how do you do the wire when it gets low, and do you also have miss ties at the end and beginning of a box or wire?

i've never had any problem with miss tying at the end or beginning of a box. you probably already know which end to start with and which end sticks out the back of the box. most wire is labeled. is it possibly that by the time you get to the end of a box, the baler has been rained on or drawn moisture? it sounds like you might not use to much during a season. rusty wire just wont work very good, doesn't feed through the twister hooks. i always pour some used motor oil in each box when i put it in. at the price of wire i sure wouldn't waste any. just splice the start end of the second box to the box in front and keep right on baling. i wouldn't let it run out on purpose and then have to pick up two or three broken bales as well as crawling under the baler with the rattlesnakes to re-thread the baler.

If it's a new roll you should be able to tie right to the end unless the twine got damp.

I have had problems with the last bit of the roll tieing before. Usually you will run into problems if the rolls set for a period of time and absorb moisture. It will make you kick your machine when you get a bad roll

I'm going to bet that you put a new roll on there and it will tie with no issues.

Try to keep the twine as dry as possible and any twine that has set for a period of time will give you headaches for sure
