The last two balls of sisal I had got taken from the baler, in the field... and heaved in the woods, never to be seen again. I use 9000 poly, generally IPCO brand.
The main thing to watch when switching these old balers over to poly is the bill hook opening. When the finger is closed it needs to bite down pretty tight on the hook. If the tip on the finger holds it open so there's a gap... take the hook out, remove the finger... and grind the tip down so it closes tight. You may also be able to get 'poly' bill hooks for the baler but on an oldie like that your luck may not be great. Regardless, grinding the finger down will work. Beyond that... just make adjustments to twine tension and the holder tension so it doesn't allow the twine to slip from the twine disc... then brighten up the twine knives and reset the clearance on the wiper. That's assuming the knotter isn't just plum worn out...
