Description
When your round baler’s pickup starts missing hay in the windrows or you notice uneven feed patterns, chances are your pickup bands are getting worn. This middle band is critical for keeping hay moving smoothly from the pickup into the baling chamber, especially on balers equipped with the extra sweep head system. A cracked or stretched band can cause plugging, uneven bales, or lost crop—problems that’ll slow you down when hay weather’s on your side.
Key Features
- Durable poly construction that flexes without cracking in all weather conditions
- Precise fit ensures proper tension and smooth operation with the extra sweep head
- High-visibility yellow color matches factory specifications and makes damage easy to spot
- Engineered to handle the constant movement and friction of pickup operation
- Smooth surface reduces wear on pickup components and improves crop flow
Built for Real Farm Work
This band is designed specifically for New Holland round balers equipped with extra sweep head systems. These machines are workhorses in hay and straw operations, where consistent pickup performance is essential for getting quality bales and keeping up with tight harvest windows. Whether you’re baling first-cutting alfalfa or cleaning up straw after harvest, this band helps ensure your pickup does its job reliably.
Made to Last
Farm equipment takes a beating, and pickup bands see some of the worst of it—constant flexing, exposure to dirt and moisture, and the occasional rock or debris. This poly band is built to handle that punishment while maintaining its flexibility and grip. The material won’t get brittle in cold weather or stretch out in hot conditions like some cheaper alternatives.
Installation Notes
Replacing pickup bands is straightforward, but you’ll want to check the condition of your pickup drums and other bands while you’re at it. If one band is worn, the others probably aren’t far behind. A quick tip: mark the position of the old band before removal to make sure the new one goes on with proper alignment.
