Quote: CVPost-NY 986 (quoted from post at 12:39:13 08/21/21) A cup of light engine oil applied to each roll of wire is helpful to keep wire moving. Wire balers make heavier denser bales so the start and finish times for the day may very from twine balers. My first load ever that I baled hay with wire I found out to back the tensioners off more than I would with twine as some bales molded. The Northeast on average has more high humidity days than other parts of the US so you may be dry enough on average to not be so concerned with dampness and mold.
Granted normal baling wire is stronger than twine BUT just because a baler utilizes wire doesn't cause the bales to be any heavier than twine tied bales.
Heavier bales all other things equal are caused by tightening/loosening of """bale chamber tensioning devices controlled by baler operator"" not by type of bale restraining material.
I'm only familiar with JD small sq balers & except for tying components excluding options JD 348 & other model sq balers are identical whether the bale is secured with wire or twine.
Ditto on adding oil to rolls of wire & checking wire guides/rollers.
