Called New Holland dealer today and about fell over when she told me pallet cash price for 350-4000 big baler twine was over $38. We can buy some cheap import twine (PGT) for around $25 if we buy a full truck load.
63" net wrap New Holland was $249 cash on full pallets, and like $268 single rolls.

Any body else who checked prices, post it so we have an idea as to what is going on around the country.

The big story is that the twine manufacturers had to start producing in August for 09 production. High priced resin followed the crude price and the twine manufacturers say they paid the price to make the twine.

Every year the prices are increasing dramatically and is really putting pressure on every one. I do hope you get a better deal somewhere else. I did have a look but couldn't find anything conclusive I am afraid.

You have to know insider people to get the better rates. If you are a loner trying to run your Biz then you will always pay a high premium rate. It's always good to socialize in this kind of Business and Community. Just my 2 cents.

I bought some from Pritchett Twine and Netwrap for $185 pallet price for some 67 x 7000.

Used some last fall on stalks worked great.Was alot stronger than other brands I've used.

I spoke with our Guelph Twines distributer yesterday and he quoted the following
4000-450 @ $34 per roll
12000 small baler twine @ $46 per double roll box - Canadian dollars
We have used both for the last few years without any issues other than an escalating price. What is stupid is that it passes our door on the way to the distibuter. They will not deliver direct or allow customer pickup from the factory, 15 minutes away.
Is anyone seeing twine prices coming down with the oil price backed off from where it was this time last year?

Just ordered 440/4000 from Prichett twine. It was under $30. JJ wants to supply you with twine!

We bought some from the Pritchett's. We have been a customer for a couple years and they do us well. Wonder if he will give me a deal for saying so? See ya soon, we really liked the heavier netwrap, one less turn and it held very well.
