I have one - I did make all my belts the same length - I actually went to the JD dealer and got some throw away and used belts from JD baelrs for $20 - ran them thru the bandsaw to make them exactly as wide as would fit in the slot and made a couple new belts - still could use some more but OK for this year - I tried a spray can of bed liner stuff on the belt driving rolls - it might have helped - but it didn't stick to good - there are beter sticker even two part mixed bed liners - my neighbor has a better kind - i might out that on the steell press oll also this how i make mine work - and i know everyone will shudder - when empty the long belts won't spin - that is the way they are supposed to be - so i find a really wide windrow or big bunch - run that in - if the belts don't start spinning - i get off and go behind it - and give the blets a pull downward - then they start to spin the roll of hay or i might have to repeat the procedure - once the belts are spinning the press roll and everything is perfect no problems and can eat a lot of stuff - i think the biggest problem with mine is the narrow belts are SO old and slick tehy have no rubber sticky feel to them - after replacing one with a new TSC one - and 2 of the old JD Oones it is much better - am trying to find $40 or so more in used bels so i can replace more - then it should be perfect -
this year i even started net wrapping with it - a long story u can email if interested
of course i still have the allis 442 small square as backup - and it has been used more than i hoped this year - my shed is pretty much full of small squares i did have a couple of cam roller bearings i had to fix up - that was my last problem - now it is going in the shed til next year - going to square bale the 3rd alfalfa cutting and call it good for the year
