I was wondering what would be a better twine size to use with a IH 37 square baler, the 9000' or the 7200' size. I have been using a cheap grade of the 9000' size in my IH 37 square baler for baling straw with pretty good baling results. My main problem has been with the strength of the twine after a couple of months of storage for too many of the bales tend to break open when lifting them. I was wondering if anyone else has had good results using the 7200' size in the IH 37 square baler and would the 7200' hold up better on the bales during storage and high moisture.

Thanks, Ray in Pa.

You could try plastic twine, it won't rot. I think they still make it as it was readily available when I was a Kid. You may have to adjust your knotters somewhat

back in the mid 70's uncle had me to start mowing straw laying flat instead on edge. It helped with the mice problem always had 10 to 20 cats around. Still stacked all the hay on edge.

Ray you might have a mouse problem chewing the twine causing it to break. Buy twine that is treated so mice will leave it alone. I have used plastic twine but it was worse than sisal twine. Heavier twine might help some. Do the knotts stay tied? If they break at the knotts maybe new knotters are in order. Mice like straw bales to get the grain out of them they make a good living doing that. Put some cats out there will help and have neighbors keep there mice at home. Also wire tie baler will help to. My thoughts for the day. have a gooden.

Thanks to everyone for the information. I should of mentioned on the above post that I have'nt had any knotting problems with my baler as long as the duck bill's (twine grabbing) tension is kept in check. I also should of mentioned that I teddy the straw 3 or 4 days after it's cut and bale it 7 to 10 days after it's cut depending on the weather. My problem mainly is the twine just breaking on high humidity days and sometimes the occasional string rot just after two months of storage. I thought that maybe a premium twine or heavier twine would be better. I guess that standing the straw with the cut side up could help. I'm open to all ideas on this frustrating problem for I am too often restringing alot of bales by hand during storage.

Thanks, Ray in Pa.
