[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1641864, member: 39695"] We have a JD 336 wire tie baler. I have used Red Brand electric wire through it. The twisters and cutter seem to do fine. Where I had problems is I put the spools on a pipe mounted over the box were the wire goes. It would "free wheel" every time the needles advanced to the a bale. What a tangled mess. I went back to regular baling wire in a box. Wire around here is about $90 a box. The biggest thing is keeping the card board box dry and in good shape. Otherwise your coils won't feed right and you will have a 100lb $90 wad of wire to tie gates with. The other thing is that a little baling wire is handy. 100 square bales gives you 200 loops of wire. Cows and raccoons have an uncanny ability to drag that stuff all over the place. You can't get rid of it. We also have a New Holland 68 twine. The only thing I use the wire for is straw. It has to last more than a year in the barn and the mice can't chew the wires. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
