John Deere 430 Round Baler question

I have a John Deere 430 round baler and I have always used the plastic twine but my elderly father has a hard time seeing the small strings so I was thinking of using traditional twine. I have never used traditional twine in this baler. Will it work well. Also do I need the twine that says it is for round bales? Just looking
 
The 16000 foot twine is what most guys use for round bales. I have used the 9000 foot twine on ones that I knew would be out a while. The twine cost is not that much if your hay is good. I would not want the plastic twine on a bale unless you take off every single piece of it. The old sisal twine was bad enough when it wrap the manure spreader beaters.
 
There is a feedlot operation nearby. The pastures they have used for years are full of wads of plastic twine that are the result of setting out bales without removing any of it.

Funny thing, I have yet to see an animal tangled up in it.

On the 9000' roll I'm assuming that is the twine usually used for square bales; a lot larger in diameter than roller twine. I would think that on a JD baler it would be hard to cut mechanically.... hard enough on the 140# plastic roller twine.

My 2c,
Mark
 
Guarantee you, that would be a pasture I'd be burning. I mowed some hay for a friend one time, and he had fed hay the same way. He wanted me to run my discbine through all that plastic twine and "chop it up". Yeah right dummy.

Hah! Sounds like a nice way to wreck some bearings.

After all the time I spent cleaning that garbage out of a manure spreader I bought, I can't even begin to imagine the horrors that would result from running a pile of that through a disc mower (especially one with an impeller!).
