Bale Twine Indicators Help Keep Bales Tied Properly
 ✖  |
Keep Bales Tied Properly Edwin Egli had difficulty seeing the twine when baling with his New Idea 484 baler. "I couldn't tell if the twine was moving or not so I often dumped out bales that weren't tied. I also had bales with twine wrapped all through them because the twine didn't cut off and I didn't realize that it was still going out."
He solved the problem by mounting a pair of electric fence insulators on front of the baler. The twine travels over these insulators, turning them, so he can see at a glance whether the twine is moving.
"It didn't cost anything more than a little time and material I had on hand," he says.
Egli painted a dark stripe on front of each insulator to make any movement easy to see.
