Hit it this morning with a new utility knife and some fresh want to, had it cut free in 15 minutes. Anyone want to buy some good used baler twine?

You will use very bit of that twine somewhere. All you need now is some wire and duct tape and you have all of your repairs covered for the next five years. Lol!

Your story reminded me of something I saw when I was in the automotive trade (after the first 10 years I stopped saying "now I've seen everything" because I knew by then that I never would). A customer's car somehow got the edge of a chain link fence caught in the drive shaft. It wrapped the whole section of fence around the entire shaft, pushing the body up until the car stalled and was towed in. A foot thick in radius around the shaft. Took forever to cut enough off just to remove the rear yoke. Then an abrasive wheel to cut it off. Don't remember if the shaft was salvageable. It's so stupid you can't make this stuff up.
Glad you were successful. Send me a can of want to will you?
A number of years ago I had a customer with a similar but somewhat more expensive situation.
On a John Deere round baler there are tarp straps that hold the spare roll of net wrap in place. When the customer took the spare roll and threaded it into the baler, he left the ends of the strap hanging and it caught in the end of the new roll, melting the end into a useless blob.
I think he only got 5-10 bales out of that roll of net wrap.

One morning we were milking when a fellow we knew came in the barn. He lived a few miles up the road and was well known to start his drinking at breakfast. Apparently the night before he'd had even more than his usual quota as he'd ran off the road into one of our cow pastures, got the fence wrapped around his rear axle and driveshaft, and had made it back on the road and home without even noticing it, dragging a hundred feet of fence, stakes, and the whole works with him. Luckily for him, the fence was old and it started to break apart before it did serious damage to his truck. Came out the next morning to see it trailing behind his truck, got it cleared off, and backtracked until he found where it had came from. Luckily, he'd caught us before we put the cows into that pasture, which we would have done when we were done milking them. He offered to help put it back up, but we declined, if for no other reason than it was obvious he'd already started the day's drinking and wasn't apt to be of much assistance. We just put the cows in another pasture, and spent the rest of the day fixing the fence.
Now I can see the sprocket it wrapped up on, from the earlier pics all I could see was the fuzz.
As to the chain link fence story above, here is onrpe that has been on the Internet a long time, a Jeep and a mattress the jeep rolled up a mattress spring on its drive train.

That kind of thing sure ruins your day for a while. I got a bed spring wound around my flail mower blade drum. I had to go home and use the cutting torch to remove it. Stan
