Choosing the Right Twine, Netwrap, and Silage Wrap for the Weather – A Farmer’s Guide

In foul weather, timing is key, so baling fast and effectively depends on using the right baling materials. Choosing the best baler twine, bale netwrap and silage wrap can reduce baling time, ensure properly wrapped bales and improve storage and feed quality.

Here are some suggestions for the right baling material when baling in challenging weather.

Few things are more frustrating than snapped twine and slipping knots when you’re halfway through stacking bales.

Damp and humid weather make bales heavier and tough on your baler’s knotting system. Not using the right baler twine, especially with high-density crops can cause problems.

Try a heavy-duty baler twine like IMPAX HD Ultimate. It’s Tama’s strongest bale twine, fully recyclable, and ensures reliable knots.

IMPAX HD Prime is another good bale twine option. Compatible with all balers, this is the longest twine length available and saves time reloading when your baling window is tight.

For lower-density crops and baling conditions, use cost-efficient and thinner baler twine LSB Long.

Alternatively, choose LSB Max. This 3200m long bale twine will reduce spool changes and suits low-density balers.

When you’ve got a narrow window to bale before the rain hits, speed is everything. That’s where netwrap becomes a real time-saver. Faster than twine, bale netwrap reduces baling time per bale, which adds up fast over a few acres.

Products like TamaNet+ ROYAL require just two to three wraps per bale, depending on crop type. With up to 40% less downtime and a wrapping speed of only 7.5 seconds per bale, it saves you time and fuel. Plus, the edge-to-edge coverage means fewer worries about unravelling bale edges during handling or transport.
