[QUOTE="HayDr, post: 1676044, member: 40581"] When purchasing less than a set of belts you need to know the length of the belts you are not replacing. Take for instance JD535 baler factory specs are 7 x 525 & 7 x 531. If only one of the either the short or long belts are 3' different that the factory specs and you put on a factory spec belt either Alligator or MATO lacing you risk damaging the new belt(s) because they will be lose and could contact the starter roller, turning in the opposite direction of the belts, and it will catch the lacing and take all or part of the lacing off the end of the belt. Belts work together as a set. In this case the best choice is to add a section in the short belt taking it to the factor spec. 1-2" is the tolerance on all vertical chambers. The baler would work with all belts 10" short but all belts need to be 10" short from the factory specs. Also it not a good idea to bale a full bale if your belts are more shorter than 4" factory. Belts get shorter with age. If a belt length has stretcher in a relaxed state, its internal construction has been compromised and it will not track properly. Belts will not stretch uniformly.
