I had always used the plastic 110/20,000 big round baler twine with my Roto-Baler. The twine knife has to be razor sharp and the tension has to be tighter. Some brands of plastic twine will cut easier than others. If the plastic twine you find doesn't cut cleanly, try another brand. I found the multi colored twine did not cut well the Orange plastic I could get, would cut cleanly. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| A "Cut-Ditioner" is a New Idea brand and works like a stalk shredder, whacking off the hay and throwing it a windrow. Takes more HP that a sickle with crimping rolls. Wouldn't be my choice for alfalfa due to leaf damage. Try it. Your tractor will pull it as fast as it has HP for. |

Your blades need to be sharp and 7 foot would be better than 9 foot it’ll bring your 45 to her knees in heavy hay I could almost stall out my Allis 180 with a seven footer back in the 70s in heavy fine hay. good luck! ------------- Blue Skies and Tail Winds Dana |

The Cut-Ditioner has 4 rows of staggered 6” cupped flail blades that can swivel on rods attached to a 12”? Diameter drum/cylinder/rotor??? Older models have a double chain drive & newer models have a belt drive. Turn off tractor pto on tight turns to not wreck pto cross bearings & yokes. It’s Gearbox has an “over-ride” clutch drive that allows rotor’s momentum to keep spinning freely, after pto stops. In short(2’) thin hay , it can move along faster. In tall (4-5’) thick hay, its 1st gear & hand/foot ready on tractor clutch. Crank up its cutting height if too much of a pull. As said previously, keep its blades sharp. Also allow hay to completely dry off from any heavy overnight dews before beginning to cut. |

| Where do you get binder twine also I'm not completely sure how to string the roto baler |

Do you have any Amish near you? If you do, talk to them and they will be able to tell you where they get it for their binders and corn harvesters. The small plastic twine for (large) round balers is similar size. If you can't find it locally, Amazon has it. https://www.amazon.com/Wellington-Puritan-43915-Sisal-Binder/dp/B00004Z1V8" rel="nofollow - Amazon.com: Wellington Puritan 43915 Sisal Binder Twine : Office Products

A spring connected to the twine arm broke and I was wondering if I could just get a spring from theisens. Anyone know what size the spring is |

| Search google for allis repairs, roto balers. Agrimson tool has the spring you are looking for at a cost of $7. |
