I need a used baler for about 15 acres of grass hay. I'll be pulling it with a WD45. Any particular brands/models to look for or to avoid? Is there any advantage to a string vs wire tie?

Also, off topic, but any ideas why there are so few message posts or ads from anyplace west of Nebraska?

Thanks,

Ralph

I have baled a lot of hay with a WD-45 and a JD 24T baler. We have always used sisal twine.

Wire is hard on the hands when handling the bales, almost requires you to have a wire-cutter on your person when feeding, and is a hazard to animals who may ingest peices of the wire. Plastic can be hard to handle, lasts forever in the environment, and is a dickens to get out of the fleeces of sheep, llamas, alpackas, etc. Sisal is biodegradable, won't harm animals who ingest it, can be cleaned out of fleeces, and is easily disposable - burn it! Wire balers are not all that common, so you will probably end up with a twine baler, which may prefer plastic or sisal. You'll just have to experiment with what you get. JD and NH are probably the best choices.

NH & JD figured out knotters first/ best, so that's what I would buy. I'd look for something in good shape. No one likes wire tie where I live, but they have their supporters in some small areas. Plastic has taken over for wire.
