I run the poly (Bridon)period 170lb knot strength. It has been the best move for me, It is also cheaper,I buy it direct fom the factory by the pallet. run it in JD and NH balers with no problems if the baler is doing its thing correctly anyway. You dont'want to leave pieces laying around thou, but you don't with anyof it otherwise either so really no difference other than is so much more dependable for me. Would'nt use the string that you get in my area if you give it to me. Good luck.

Using some and selling some. Hardware disease has been a problem in the past.

Wouldn't touch wire if I could afford it. Dangerous to animals, if they ingest it, it settles to the bottom of the stomach, and will penetrate the stomach wall, and finally work into the heart muscle, this is called "hardware disease" in cattle. NASTY, if not caught in time. Then there's the problem of storing and getting rid of all that used bale wire. Plastic has it's own problems, because it's so slow to degrade in the enviorment. Will get into the wool on sheep and llamas and is the dickens to remove - reduces the value of the fleece greatly. Also is a hazard to animals that have the mishap to ingest that stuff. Sisal is a natural product - biodegrades in the enviornment and is safe if animals ingest it. Not particularly nutricious, but what the heck, not dangerous! As for handling the bales, plastic and particularly wire are hard on the hands. Sisal is my choice!

I either have 273 or 272T motor baler. What I need is JD baler to convert to ground drive then I could bale with the horses.

I like sissal because of hwd disease too.

Joel I farm with mules but I doin't pull baler with them. I did not realize wire was that uncommon up north. The only thang that bothers me is the twine tyeing fingers and such as my experience with twine has not been great. just from lack of knowledge with I am sure.

Maybe need new twine discs?

these ground drive balers are much easier on the equines' necks. Damn near killed myself 2x last yr ,powered out once & tractor popped out of gear once. tractor had no brakes. It does, sort of, now.

I've never seen a working wire baler here in southern Minnesota. People gave those up in the 40's.

I wouldn't buy hay with wire on it. Not too fond of plastic on small squares either. Maybe a regional thing, but only way to sell a small square for top $$ is sisal around here.

If I had a choice I would do my straw with a wire tie baler. Keeps the mice from ruining the bales by chewing the string. (Alot of cats around work to, but they end up using the hay and straw as a litter box.) Never seemed to have that same mouse problem with hay so I'd stick with the twine.

I've used both sisal and poly. I'm going back to sisal this season as I had a tighter bale and missed less ties using it.
