[QUOTE="A.J., post: 1756360, member: 13664"] If the bales are made tight and evenly with square shoulders, the twine shouldn’t fall off the ends of the bales. You might be referring to the twine rotting on the bottom after sitting outside for a long time though. In that case, some around here have gone to using nylon twine because it’s cheaper and won’t rot on the bottom if stored outside like sisal twine will do. Several folks are switching to netwrap in my area, because it is much faster finishing a bale than with twine tie. Netwrap also seems to shed water better and help preserve the bales better if stored outside. That would get old fast having to go around and rewrap bales like you were talking about. [/QUOTE]
