Twine

Twine

When working on a farm or rural property, you will need to secure items in place at some point. Doing so incorrectly or without the right material can be consequential. Tractor Supply offers twine for farm and ranch operations and everyday work around the property, covering polypropylene baler twine, natural fibers and nylon mason line. Whatever your task calls for, there's a material and a rating to match it in our inventory.

Strength, Fiber and Function

Twine comes in handy for bundling brush, cinching down loose loads and anywhere the job calls for a cord that won't give under pressure. That same toughness makes it the default choice when the work is hard, and the conditions aren't clean. Our selection includes a variety of options to ensure jobs are completed and your peace of mind is restored.

Baler twine is the standard for most properties, as it feeds through mechanical baling equipment, wraps each bale under tension and holds it from field to storage. Heat, UV exposure and wet conditions don't break it down the way they do natural fibers. It also handles a hard pull without stretching mid-use. Our stock includes various baler twine options, as well as other types to suit your needs.

Lighter Materials and Specialty Uses

Garden rows, trellises and plant stakes need ties that grip without cutting into stems, and jute twine handles the job well. It's a lighter natural fiber that breaks down in the soil, so spent ties can go straight into the compost at the end of the season. Sisal has a firmer knot than jute and is suitable for heavier loads when you still want biodegradable material. In the kitchen, food-safe cotton butcher's twine handles tying without shedding. On the job site, twisted and braided nylon mason twine marks straight lines and alignment points in high-visibility colors such as orange and lime green, staying readable across a wide work area.

Strength Ratings and Spool Lengths

Two numbers matter on a twine label: tensile strength and knot strength. Tensile strength in our lineup ranges from 110 to 245 lb. and indicates how much straight-line load the cord can withstand before it fails. Knot strength tops out at 240 lb. and measures holding power at the tie-off point, which is where breaks are most likely to happen. Spool length runs from 6,500 to 20,000 ft., and larger operations benefit from longer spools, as fewer changeovers mean less downtime. For Life Out Here, pairing the right spec to your baler's manual keeps the operation running clean.

A bale falling apart in the field or a lay-out line slipping can end up costing you in the long run. Matching fiber, strength rating and spool length to the job takes the guesswork out. Shop on our website or visit your local Tractor Supply store to find the right twine for the work ahead.
