round baler belt

Jay, NW Ontario · Oct 4, 2017

I bought a Vicon RP 1210 as my first round baler. Seller told me it was 2 ply belting. For those of you northern US folks familiar with Fleet Farm, I can find 3 ply belting there but the website doesn't mention 2 ply. Is this acceptable, and should I be looking at one type over another? Thanks in advance.

Not sure, but look online at Excel Belting. I get my belts there. They know their stuff. Good prices.

I"m sure the 3 ply would work just fine.

Great, thanks. Probably doing a little road trip to Duluth in the coming month or so.

I've dealt with these guys, if you are getting belts, just get them already made correct size.

In replacing belts on my Hesston 5 x 6 roller (5560 was the model best I can remember) years ago which used 4" belts, I found that the 2
ply was a cheap version of a belt. My current baler is a 1991 JD 375 which rolls the 5 (long) x 4 (diam.) still has most of the original JD
OEM 3 ply diamond belts. I did recently replace the lacing tie wires which is good practice from time to time. If you don't care about
longevity go with 2; otherwise make it 3. Your baler really doesn't care. (opinion based on experience)
