[QUOTE="ironpeddler, post: 258886, member: 1530"] You have the choice of clipper # 4.5 lacing hooks or one of the plate style lacings like the Alligator Rivet. We have some operators that have their belts laced every 2,000- 3,000 bales and some that have them laced every 5,000-10,000 bales. It all depends on the operator and their conditions. Balers that bale in full baler width windrows tend to have less belt problems that the single 8-10' raked smaller windrows. Corn stalks, haylage and tractor HP are other factors in belt life. I'm not say you do this but I've seen customers baling 5.5' tall bales out of 5 x 4 balers. They have a large HP tractor and they push the baler beyond the designed bale height. Well guess what, they have belt and bearing problems and they just can not figure it out. Maybe they had an old Vermeer G series baler and when it was full the pickup stopped but now their new baler doesn't stop and they forget the baler is full because the radio is playing their tune. I can equate belt life to clutch or break pad life. Some people get never wear out a clutch and some people only get 30,000 miles from a clutch. [/QUOTE]
