what size twine do you use for a NH super 69 baler. Can you use plastic twine?

I have an old NH Super 68 baler that does OK with the red plastic twine. I also have a NH 273 that I'm using sisal twine in. The owner's manual for the 273 states that the bill hooks are slightly different for the plastic vs. the sisal (they show a picture of the difference). At over $60 a piece for different bill hooks, I'll keep the sisal hooks in place. The price in western Illinois is about the same for both types of twine. I wouldn't use the thinner sisal twine that is made for big round balers. You'll need the 9000' stuff.

It says on the inside of the twine box cover to use only "quality Hew Holland twine" so there you have it.

A 69 is an old baler. A guy who used to post a lot on this forum named "Steve from New Holland" suggested that the old balers worked best with the cheapest old brown 9000 twine they were designed to use. I tried it and resolved 90% of my knotter problems.

I never use poly twine. That stuff lasts forever and wraps around cattle's legs and causes untold damage.

Generally use 7000 foot twine it's a little heavier, maybe use 9000 plastic if knives aresharp/new and stripper and all the knotter parts are invery good shape, its abrasive on bill hooks.
