Agritape - not as good as it was 20 years ago.

[snarling bee]

Agritape used to stick better that sh!t to a blanket. Could mend anything with it. Now I can only seem to buy 'duct tape' or some equally cr4p black stuff. Gorilla tape is about the best I have found recently.
In Dad's day you could fix most things with baler twine and Agri tape, its not so easy now.
Does anybody know where I can get proper Agri tape, or a decent substitute?

Twine and tape is so 20th century.

These days it’s cable ties and silicone.

Gorilla tape is the best I’ve seen too

Had some very good stuff from Wynnstay last couple of years, used it for patching silage bales that have had the odd mishap, sticks like nothing I’ve used before, it’s a bit diff coming off the roll though

Seen many a silage trailers back door held on by tek screws when the roll pin has rusted out

When I was a kid we used to Agri tape the end doors on the trailers so they would hold rape, the old tape would hang on for all of harvest, the sliver tape you get now would fall off on the first load
