I bought a NH 275 square baler. It is in very good shape. All bearings look good and tight. Has not been used much and still has decals on it. Has been sheltered. My question is how many bales can I get before I need more twine?
Thanks
Devin

we always used 9000 but started using 7200 last year with NH273 baler. 9000 seemed to be thin in spots. 7200 was a little thicker. last few years though seems like the twine we are getting is terrible. the first patch of the year or last years stuff or something... anybody have a problems???

even the 7200, will be fine then all of a sudden it goes down to fine stuff. that's where the damn thing seems to break on the knotter or when kicked out. oh well just so venting now that's over for another year.

Devin I use 9000 twine in my NH 310 and I get about 500 bales per package two spools. I try to get the bales to weight around 55-60 lbs per bale.

Replace the twine that is in it now. Don't attempt to use it. Old twine causes more problems that it is worth.

Next, what weight and length of bales are you going to make?

Common twine sizes are 7200 and 9000. The higher number is for smaller weight bales and is smaller in diameter and strength. 7200 is for heavier bales. The numbers 7200 and 9000 refer to the feet per the two balls of twine in a "bale of twine".
