After years of using twine balers, I went to wire balers. Very glad I did. No more tying problems, no more broken bales, Good, solid, heavy bales. No more plastic twine wrapped around the manure spreader beaters and disc gangs. But, I don't sell any hay. I do think wire bales may be more difficult to sell. Also, I handle the bales with a New Holland bale wagon. Good, solid and heavier bales are a must with a bale wagon. All the farm stores around here carry baling wire. The quality of the wire seems fine. The waste wire from the bales is folded up several times and placed in a 55 gallon drum and packed down. When the drum is stuffed full, the whole thing goes to the salvage yard 5 miles up the road. I'd never go back to twine. But, everyone's situation is different!

I live in the west. Still a few wire tie balers here but most guys use plastic twine. At one time we has lots of wire balers and they were the only ones that would get the weight in bales for export. Now twine is equal and much easier to find. I have worked with both and have had as much trouble with one as the other. I would not go back to wire as it is too hard to get rid of and hard to find good quality consistant wire.

Very, very few wire tie balers here in southern MN. I would not know where to buy the wire, never saw any in a store? I believe they can pack a bit tighter, & are still a bit popular to the West? Most folks here would not want wire in their hay for the danger to the animals, but not sure if that is fact or just the custom that no one wire bales.

Yes. My Ford 350 only has a bent finger that when tie time occurs, swings around (catching both wires) and makes a real fast 3 or 4 rev's. Then in a flash the cutter cuts it off.

Have both types and this is extremely simple.

Advantage is that rats don't eat your plastic ties off causing your bale to fall apart when picked up out of the barn.

Disadvantage is safety. String is safer for you, equip, and animals (myopinion).

During high school summers decked and one year cooked, for Commercial Transportation Corp out of Houston, TX. We'd relieve the regular crew and let them have vacation.

Twas a blast for a kid. Worked tugs, not riverboats and southern route including rivers in Louisiana that required us to snake the 135x60x8draft barges to pick up crude oil from wells in the swamps. Pay was great too.
