Round bale net vs. baling twine
Are you unsure whether to choose round bale netting or baler twine? Both products have their own advantages and applications. The best choice depends on your baler, the type of crop, your working methods, and the results you want to achieve in the field and during storage.
What is the difference between round bale netting and bale twine?
Round bale netting is primarily used to quickly and evenly hold round bales together. Baler twine is used to tie bales with twine and is particularly relevant for certain types of balers and applications.
When to choose round bale netting?
Round bale netting is often a good choice when you:
- want to work quickly while pressing;
- want an even and stable bale shape;
- want less feed loss;
- want a good base for further wrapping with foil.
Products such as MAXXNET® Premium Round Bale Net and NETEXX® Round Bale Net are designed for reliable performance with round bales.
When to choose pressed thread?
Pressed thread is interesting when you:
- works with presses designed for rope binding;
- produces large square bales;
- requires high knot strength;
- are looking for a solution that suits specific press settings or crops.

Comparison: round bale net vs. bale twine
Speed
Round bale netting often offers a faster baling process than twine, which can be an important advantage, especially during busy harvest periods.
Bale shape and coverage
Round bale netting often forms the bale more evenly and tightly. This facilitates transport, storage, and any subsequent processing with stretch film .
Application per bale type
For round bales, netting is often the most popular solution. For large square bales, baler twine remains the standard in many cases.
Machine and preference
The right choice also depends on your press, settings, and experience. Some farmers deliberately stick with twine, while others opt for the efficiency of netting.
What is better for silage bales?
For silage bales, round bale netting combined with stretch film is often chosen. First, the bale is formed and held together with netting, then airtightly wrapped with film for optimal preservation.
Our practical recommendation
Do you primarily produce round silage bales and want to work quickly and efficiently? Then round bale netting is usually the best choice. Do you work with large square bales or a baler designed for twine? Then baler twine is the more obvious choice.
