@@Timberland-Farms not far from here, just bought a 420 IH all twine in preparation for next season. Enjoy seeing the older equipment still being used!

@baker4030 I do have to say, this 430 IH I have is very picky on the twine I use, ended up using thick plastic twine, tractor supply twine is nothing in comparison to what I got from a local farmer, not sure where he gets it but it’s around a 250 lb break strength

So I just did a test run and enrolled a few round bales, after some adjustments it kicked out 47 bales with no breaks. I used sisal twine from TSC think break point was 350 or something. Every form I was reading said use the cheapest sisal twine because that's about what they used when the baler was made... idk but I'm happy with it so far lol

@baker4030 I think the sisal is about the same diameter as the new plastic I found, might have to do with the twine diameter
