Anyone bought their baler twine yet?

Big price jump in baler twine, supposedly due to drought in Brazil.

I have not but I'll be curious to see if it has increased. I use Gold Crest twine and it was expensive enough last year! But my baler really likes it so I buy it anyways. How much increase have you seen?

$47.99 for the 16000 round baler twine at Southern State. Last year same stuff was $35.75.

Once again, I won't need any this year.

Been hearing it will be in short supply. Don't know if it is true or not.

 

[bigbull338]

i doubt that itll be hard to find.because if it is thatll cramp alot of farm stores out of some major money.

We bought ours last year, we use New Holland twin and it works well for us, we like having a year's worth in the barn

We bought a netwrap baler last year. Hope it doesnt go up too, its already expensive.

I might decide to completely go with plastic twine. Guy who helps me hay prefers plastic anyway.

I havent been to agri supply yet but this is tractor supply right down the street from me.

got mine at orschelns , there price is 46.99 ,but I get 10% off

Rural King came out with an ad for $39.00 for the 16000, cheapest I have seen it. Not really worth the drive for me though.

It would probably pay to shop around a bit before the rush of hay season gets here. A lot of places give quantity discounts. A pallet of twine would last me a long time, but I could go in on it with a neighbor. :nod: I'd take the whole pallet, but not sure if I could keep mice out of it. :roll:

We use net but we buy 16 rolls in December or January. We get the best price then and also have possession of it.
We have already put up 2-300 bales this year. I don't have the count yet.

 

[jerry27150]

same trouble I always have if I have much left over, mice love it

Three of us went in on a pallet and the best price we found locally was at TSC. It's the Brazilian Gold brand, it was $45.99/pack but the pallet price was $41.38 so we saved a few bucks.
