Recycling baler twine

The tying them onto hoof picks really helps
There are so many uses for bailer twine. I've heard of people using it to keep their exhausts up in emergencies

Anything that needs doing, bailer twine will help

Always used bailer twine on tie rings rather than those expensive clip things
 
Homemade haynets, haynet repairs, emergency fence repair (Untill you find where the kids have hidden the hammer!!), loops for tying horse to, tied to hoofpick & small scrub brush near tap for when they come in from feild........

the uses are endless
 
Haynets! They last way longer than commercially made ones, are more comfortable on your hands and you can make them to whatever length and hole-size that you require. Just the job to occupy a wet Sunday afternoon!
 
Those expensive clip things are good. I have one made out of velcro. My divvy mare was tied to the bailing twine, backed up and pulled the ring out of the wall, before the bailing twine broke. If I'd have used one of those expensive clip things, I'd have saved the extra work of drilling new holes for putting the clip back up. Of course you can always make your own out of velcro, too, and that'd be much cheaper.
Funny thing, I'd always thought they were a waste of money, before - lol. They're not.
 
Emergency trouser belt !!
Fix broken reins 'til you get replaced, tying stuff to roof racks, tyind boots shut when carrying bulky/long stuff,
you name it, baling twine will do it
 
Do you know I was contemplating this just this morning - at the moment I tuck the twine off the hay into a loop on the trailer our hay is stacked behind, and was thinking at some point I needed to do something with the lot that has collected over the past 12 weeks..

I make big bale haylage and I SOOO miss baler twine - I find myself screeching to a halt and picking stray bits out of hedges because I can never get enough. I lent a bit to someone the other day to use as a fillet string, and had to ask for it back

im lucky as all the hay is bound in thistle twine not nylon twine so have a low breaking point.
 
When I used to work with horses, we used to make leadropes out of twine - however two experiences of neds legging it at high speed and giving me the most horrendous rope burns ever, I probably wouldn't recommend it unless you're desperate!
 
Amongst many of the uses listed above (especially the fixing fencing use!) i use mine for hanging rugs on. Put 2 tie rings or similar on opposite ends of the stable wall, tie several pieces of thick baling twine together & attatch to tie rings. Mine holds approx 6-7 decent sized rugs- much cheaper than the ones in shops that dont hold half as many.
 
My Dad alway pinched mine for the runner beans! and anything else he need baler twine in the garden. Now I have moved North he always asks for me to bring him some when I go to visit.
