What is a good twine that will run well in my NH 273 baler? It has sissal in it now. Does twine have gauge or thickness? I see in my manual #9 and #10 ni a picture. What is a good type?

We ran sisal on the farm for years then switched to plastic. Used the plastic 9000ft @ 130 knot strenght. It works "ok" but I found you couldn't crank up the tension too much.

Switched to 9600 plastic at 170 knot strength. Works way better and ties better it seems. Its thicker than 9000 by a fair bit.

Also I am using Don 190 that comes in 7000ft rolls so 14000 for the pair. Its rated at 190 knot strenght min. This stuff is thicker than sisal. Made 3000 bales yesterday and had one broken bale when it was getting too tough.

We tried plastic in our NH273 this summer, made 2 rounds and switched back to sissal.

BT-130 runs great in my old ford. I doubt 170 would, much thicker. Kinda rough on the old fingers though. Just keep your twine knifes sharp.

Some older balers need new bill hooks to work well with poly twine. I don"t know if that is true of NH but is for JD. The bill hooks for poly have a groove to allow it to get a better grip on the plastic (slippery) twine. They are easily replaced.
Was that your picture of a '30D on here a few day's ago? I tried to find it to enlarge but had no luck.

I ran poly twine in both my NH S67 and NH68 baler without any changes to the knotters. At one time I actually did about 250 bales with poly on one side and sisal in the other to compare knots. Couldn"t tell the difference and niether side had any tying difficulties.

Just make sure your knives are sharp.
