We would like to think we are unique, as we are end users of most of the crop packaging products we sell, so we can give guidance and excellent customer service. We like to test out as many products as we can, and only sell what we are happy to use ourselves as contractors and farmers.
This is a guide as to some of the products we are likely to stock this season, but watch this space..as our stock seems to vary as the season progresses.
We also hope to stock products to further protect the end product once stacked such as sheets, nets and vermin control products.
A full range of high quality twines are available throughout the season. All twines are suitable for use on all baling machines.
Every pack of twine is produced with specific features to aid the operator and reduce downtime.
Stock includes Cordex, Cotesi & Farmers Brands

This information represents the approximate no of bales possible per 2 spool pack of twine equivalent, based on set bale lengths of 8ft. (The approximate number of silage bales possibly based upon a bale length of 5ft for silage are indicated in brackets – where no figures are given the twine is not recommended for silage use). These figures are given as a guide and should only be used as an aid to operator usage when bailing.
