Bale twine, also called baler twine or bale string, is the twine used to tie and secure hay, straw or silage bales after baling, keeping them tightly bound for storage, handling and transport. Our bale twine range is supplied by Tama, covering standard twine for conventional balers, such as the Hay Gold Strand and Medium Rust twine, and LSB twine for large square balers, including the LSB Long, LSB Max and Impax LSB Power twine.
Choosing the right agricultural baling twine comes down to your baler and the bale type you're making, since conventional and large square balers each need a different twine length and strength. For everything else needed to get a crop off the field and into storage, our crop packaging range covers bale net, silage sheets and silage wrap, and our farm and smallholder range covers the rest of the season's jobs from fencing to feed.
Getting your farmers' twine right before the baling season starts, means fewer breakages and fewer stoppages once you're out in the field. Take a look at the questions below if you're deciding between standard and LSB twine, or need help matching twine to your baler.
