Oh the Many Uses of Bailer Twine

In fact, if you’re in the many businesses that use a baler to compact waste products, you’re probably well acquainted with it as well. But do you know all the many things that this nearly unbreakable stuff can accomplish?

Baler twine has a long history going back decades–and in some form, even centuries. In the very early days, it was used for such things as binding together the parts of a fence. It has also traditionally, and even now, been used for baling hay; indeed, that remains its most common task on the American farm. But it goes beyond that. It has also been used as a fixer-upper for all manner of projects. Kind of the string version of duct tape.

Consider these many uses for baling wire:

You can use it to create a make-shift lead rope or a make-shift halter. use it to make a temporary fix for fence boards and / or gates. Use it to fix broken blanket straps. Use it to create a make-shift martingale.

Use baling string to create a grab strap for new lesson takers or to create anti-grazing reins. Use it temporarily to tie a gate closed. Use it to create temporary replacements for broken boot laces. Use it to cinch your blue jeans up or to make an emergency fly fringe.

Used bale twine in the pasture or barn to tie fans in your stall rafters or to attach feed buckets to stall walls. Use it to tie up your stall guards or to make breakaway ties on your hitching posts. Use the twine to make a pull for loft stairs. Use it to create pulls for your light switches or to create a hay-net. Use baler string to cordon off areas of a muddy pasture. Use it to tie down a desk or office pen so it doesn’t walk away. Use the twin to tether down items in your pickup truck or ti tie down tarpaulins.

Some even more creative uses for your baler twine: Create a grooming wisp with it, braid tail strings for your blankets with it, create a hammock with it, create macrame plant hangers with it, and fasten latigos with it.

Just to name a few suggestions.

Today, there are several companies which manufacture a variety of different baling wires. One of the top names, for instance, is Olympic Equipment. Olympic has many baling wire lines, all of which are of both high quality and proven effectiveness. The company boasts, and customers agree, that Olympic has unparalleled consistency.

Today’s baling wire takes many different forms. These include annealed wire, PVC coated, galvanized, economical bale wire, plastic coated, spool, loop tie, straight cut, among others.

This leaves us with one last question: where to buy it. A logical choice would be farmers’ supply stores, which have hay balers for sale as well as the baler twine. Increasingly, though, these specialty products can be found online at great prices. So a Google or Yahoo search might be a smart place to start. You can find it at the same places where you find new and used hay balers. You can often even find it online at wholesale prices. So if you’re ready to buy your twine, hopefully you now have a starting point.
