A 9,000-foot roll of orange polypropylene baler twine with a smooth surface designed to reduce knotter wear.
A long roll for baling work
This Alligator Brand roll contains 9,000 feet of orange polypropylene twine for baler use. The long run suits a farm that wants a substantial supply ready at the machine, but the number of bales a roll handles depends on the baler and how it is adjusted. Check the roll before a busy field day and keep a replacement close enough to avoid stopping when the twine runs out. The spool is sold as one roll. Its orange color is easy to pick out against hay, equipment and the floor of a machine shed, which helps when locating the working end during setup.
Polypropylene with a visible orange finish
The twine is polypropylene, a synthetic material selected here for baling rather than household tying. Its bright orange color is useful when you need to identify the roll among supplies or follow the twine path while loading the baler. Uniform yarn consistency helps the working line feed through the guides without sorting the strand before threading. Keep the package dry and protected from dirt while it is stored. A clean working end is easier to feed through the guides than twine that has picked up dust or tangled with other lines.
A smooth surface for the knotting system
The smooth polypropylene surface is intended to limit wear on the baler knotting system. Twine runs through guides and knotter parts each time a bale forms, so match the roll to the material and arrangement specified for the machine. If the machine is missing its manual or has been modified, confirm the twine path before loading a new roll. A change in twine cannot correct worn or damaged knotter parts; inspect the machine’s condition as part of the normal baler setup.
Check the route before baling
Before baling, compare the roll’s material and length with the machine requirements. Thread it through the guides in the order shown in the baler manual, and keep the free end clear of dirt or entanglement while loading. Check that the roll unwinds freely from its holder before starting the machine. The orange strand is easy to follow through the path during setup, but keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts. Stop the equipment before correcting a snag.
