This talk of wire balers

Timmycornpicker · Feb 15, 2021

I remember seeing some years back that a company was marketing a monofilament plastic wire replacement. It looked like weedwacker string and was supposed to work in the twisters just like steel wire. I don't see it anywhere now. Guess it didn't work as intended?

Are you looking for pre made wire ties for hand tie wire balers?

No. This was on spools for use in automatic wire tie balers. It was supposed to be a less expensive substitute for steel wire. I don't use a wire baler, just had my mind jogged back 20 years.

Never heard of such a thing. I dont believe the single strand plastic would have near enough strength to hold a bale together.

The multifilament that most of us use won out over the mono.

Im not sure it would work as it wouldnt stay bent the way regular wire being tied in a wire baler like one of mine, Case W140 would do to it
