[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 255578, member: 2862"] Except for we're not in the US, we're Canadian. 9 years ago, belts for my 5510 Hesston run me almost $2000, and those were for cheap 2 ply. The custom guy next door replaced his BR780 belts last year and it run him a hair over $3200, and he gets a price discount based on his buying new balers every year or two. Buying off the internet is ok, however delivery into small town Saskatchewan would be expensive, likely in the $500 neighborhood for something of that bulk and weight. And until recently, the US buck was 1.65 x that of the Canuck buck. So 1195 x 1.65 + 500 = 2471 plus the GST, so ~$2700. A fair distance away from the $3500 posted, however many small town dealers also get middleman'ed to death, so I don't find the $3500 too far out in left field. Rod [/QUOTE]
