Yea thats probably the same stuff as I'm getting although mine will be claas badged it's all tama far as I knowI have been using JD stuff in 9600 packs, seems good and more bales without reloading
Had 2 pallets last year. Well happy with it. Shall have some more this yearAnyone using cordex?
Anyone using cordex?
Yes have been for years very good twine in big size balls as wellAnyone using cordex?
Do you have to adjust knotters when using different brands of twine? I always try and use same to avoid problems.
Thinking of trying cotesi 72xl in my Claas 2200, anyone tried them? They fill the boxes pretty well, what are people paying for twine?
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!Anyone using cordex?
It's balecord extreme@wuddy what string are you using on the outside knotters?
Piippo string is a class above other baler twine in my opinion. But they pulled out of the UK market several years ago as being too cutthroat.I have a NH bb980
At first i used bihr atlas - recomended by my service guy. But they closed a few years ago.
I then tried almost everything available here. Not tama though, as nobody sold it at reasonable prices at the time. It was only available as rebadged original from baler dealers at a hefty premium.
My problem is that i make longer bales than standard 2,4 meters. I make mine about 2,7.
That meant a lot of knots burst just when the bale went out the back of baler.
After testing 7 different kinds of twine, all with 100-115m/kg, i ended up using Piippo 110m/kg for the last few years, with very little trouble. It was cheaper than other brands too.
