How many ft is on a big spool from Cordex?Yes been using 7200 for around 6 years now moved onto the big spools with change of Baler 2 years ago (mf 187 to mf 2270 xd) run a heavier string on outside two knotters as we sell all our straw and it can be handled four or five times probably not necessary but means no burst strings at all. Also got given a few spools of farmers twine to try a couple of years ago baled about ten acres with them in they are now lying in the workshop and used for tying things up will never use again!
Ran cotesi about 5/6 years ago, won't ever use it again !.
Why?
I have no idea as nothing written on the packaging. There must be three dirrerent sizes as we had smaller ones than in the picture in the 187 then went to the larger spools on the left 2 years ago and then onto the giant spools last yearHow many ft is on a big spool from Cordex?

I think the bigger ones youve got are the same as the tama 9800, the cotesi seems to be a fair ballI have no idea as nothing written on the packaging.

Looks about the same size as the ones I use now. The xtreme spool is the same size as the giant spool obviously slightly less in it but hardly noticeable on a days baling.View attachment 519042

We mainly run Cordex Extreme in all 6 strings, trying some Maxxcord in 1 and 6 this year though.
Main reason we have cordex is we used 10 pallets last year and didn't have any trouble.
Used 4 pallets of other brands and decided it wasn't worth changing.
Never had any problems with Farmers string, we used to use it all the time but moved away when we started needing stronger product. If it was for own use it'd be fine.
Cotesi is good stuff too, we had some Platinum years ago which was awful but they've altered it and it's a well proven product now. Cordex are 3-4% cheaper than Cotesi, but Cotesi claim to have 3-4% extra run length.
I've heard from the local Agrii rep that Farmers are now doing a range of high knot strength twines, 300kg knot strength, apparently the strongest on the market at the mo.
I tried this stuff last season, some bought from Countrywide, some from T H White, bales popping everywhere....won't be using it againView attachment 519042

Who makes Krone's string we had some that came in new baler last year looked very strong but we already had 3 pallets of Tamma so moved onto it and didn't notice any differenceThe Xpro is a stronger twine, but certainly not the strongest.
Krone HDP Strong is 315kg knot strength, Cordex Maxxcord and Cotesi One Plus are similar.
