Hello fellow farmer. I've been doing similar I've used my outrider to open several silage bales and a few other things this morning. Will get used several more times again today before the day is done.
I cut twine off the hay to feed the cattle today and nearly every other day for the past 20 years. This poor knife has been through the mower conditioner and walked on by cows, but it keeps on doing its job with no fuss.
