[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1692660, member: 40335"] I don't see how you could get enough slack in the belts for them to wrap up like that. I have a Vermeer dealer close enough that I can have work done. On my old round baler and new baler both. I changed the pins that pin the belts together every 1000 bales. The majority of the time I do that myself but now that I am getting older I take it to the dealer and let them replace the pins and if that is all that needs done it costs me under a 100 bucks. The reason for changing thoes pins is because of the slack that you get in the splice causes more friction (heat) as the splice goes over the rollers and is one way baler fires start. Got to admit I don't see how slack in a pin can do that but have had several people tell me it does happen. So every 1000 bales I change the pens if for no other reason a peace of mind. Not saying that is the problem with your baler, probably isnt. But you said it has had 15000 bales run through it. If it were me I would take it to some place and have them change the pins and figure out what the problem is causing all that slack. You ever notice someone baleing with a twisted belt on their baler. People that don't take the time to untwist it. Usually wind up tearing the lace and end up having to cut that tear out and putting a new lace in the old ones place. Looking at the picture I don't see how your going to avoid twisting a belt if not a couple of them. [/QUOTE]
