FAQ – KUHN Twine Calculator

You can determine your twine requirements quickly using the KUHN Twine Calculator.

By entering your bale dimensions, number of twines or revolutions per bale, the twine type, and your annual bale volume, the calculator will display:

  • Total twine length used per bale
  • Number of bales per spool
  • Number of spools needed for the entire season

This gives you a clear estimate of how much twine you’ll need to order ahead of the season.

Simply enter the price per twine spool along with your usual baling specifications. The calculator will automatically compute:

  • Twine consumption per bale
  • Spools required per year
  • Rolls required per year
  • Total twine cost per bale
  • Overall twine cost for your production volume

This helps you plan your budget and purchase twine at the optimal time.

The calculator uses the technical parameters of your baling process to compute twine use and costs.

You enter :

  • Bale size (round or square)
  • Number of revolutions or number of twines per bale
  • Twine type (selected from KUHN twine options)
  • Price per spool
  • Number of bales produced annually

After clicking CALCULATE RESULT, the tool provides all relevant usage and cost metrics in both meters and kilograms, depending on the twine type.

Yes. The calculator supports both round and square bales, each with its own dedicated input fields:

  • Round bales: diameter, revolutions per bale, twine type, etc.
  • Square bales: length, height, width, number of twines per bale, twine type, etc.

This allows you to calculate twine usage for either bale format side-by-side.

For round bales:

  • Diameter
  • Number of revolutions per bale
  • Twine type
  • Price per spool
  • Number of round bales per year

For square bales:

  • Length (cm)
  • Height (cm)
  • Width (cm)
  • Number of twines per bale
  • Twine type
  • Price per spool
  • Number of square bales per year

These inputs allow the calculator to determine usage per bale, per spool, and per season.
