Over the past years I've had a couple chains fail on my 271 baler, the most recent this past weekend. Both happened to be 2040 chains that powered the pick-up tines. Luckily when this weekend's failure happened I had a new spare to get me back going. My question is this; what other chains are likely to fail (all ?) and what size are they? I'd like to get some spares before it happens so I'm not stuck with hay on the ground and unable to get a new chain for a week. One in particular I'm concerned about is the big chain that runs the tines that push hay into the bale chamber but there are others on the machine that are a different size than the 2040's that have broken. Also, any other spare parts worth having on hand? I've been running 600-700 bales through it per year for the past 17 years with not too many problems.
Thanks,
