[QUOTE="rusty, post: 635202, member: 9308"] From my very limited experiance the belts do need to be the same length.If one is shorter it will be tighter, longer looser.Now I do know a few inches don't seem to hurt it much but they will have more stress on them.One thing I have found out is with my baler (hestton 830 4 by 4 bales) is that if I think bale is to loose before I dump it build up rpm's and it seems to tighten. I guess the faster it spins it tightens it and then I activate the tier after it ties I kick off the pto to dump it.Something else i'l noticed is that if windrows are narrow or high and low I may have to weave the hay into the pickup otherwise the bale will be lopsided or thick an thin.
