[QUOTE="rgv, post: 117793, member: 1565"] Yes - I have watched them, and they trim off the ridges on the belt before they crimp it on. They also have trimmed off maybe 1" of the belts each time. It appears they are doing a good job of crimping these on. I have not checked the length of these belts. I am starting to wonder if they have been cut off before me resulting in a belt that is shorter than it should be. This would expain it breaking from to much tension before the bale is complete. Would that make sense? I also wonder if they are not all the same size, which is causing undue pressure on the shortest belts first. I have the book, and I remember thay allow some variance in length. Looks like I may need to remove all the belts and check everything out. Could there be a tension adjustment that is set to tight? Sorry if I'm rambling - this is my first round baler. Been using square balers for a long time. My kids are estatic. No more throwing hay in the loft. Ooopps - forgot to remind them we will still square bale the alfalfa. [/QUOTE]
