does this describe the process at all?
ww.dict.cc only offers "zwirnen" for twist . noun only used in other context.
So maybe you should go with "Wickler" after all?

Verdriller

The googles for 'Wickler' in connection with baling involve wrapping the bale in plastic foil and have nothing to do with tying the bale with twine or wire.
The use of wire is unusual, which is probably why there are hardly any references in the right context.

From a patent:
"Das Drahtende 16d des gezeigten Umreifungsdrahtes 16 wird durch die Öse 16c geschoben und solange gezogen, bis an allen Seiten des fertigen Ballens der betreffende Abschnitt des Umreifungsdrahtes 16 anliegt. Folgend wird unter Abknickung des jetzt hinter der Öse liegenden noch freien Abschnittes, also der verbliebene Endbereich des Umreifungsdrahtes, unter Bildung von ein oder mehreren Schlaufen, mit dem an der Vorderseite des Ballens befindlichen Abschnittes des Umreifungsdrahtes 16 verdrillt."

There are a few other hits for Ballen + verdrillen (verdrillt) in the given context.

Note from asker:
I am still not convinced... sorry. The example here is using plastic film for wrapping..... The model I am looking at uses twine (and the device there is the knotter) or wire (and that's the twister I am looking for). But thank you for your help. I will see if I get anything that "sounds" better.
Thanks for spending your time on this and for your answers. I am still in doubt. The wires are "twisted" together" German word: verdrillt. And Zwirner is something else...... So I am still wondering
