Description
When your baler’s upper drive chain starts skipping or making noise, hay season doesn’t wait for repairs. This chain assembly is the heart of your baler’s feeding system, moving crop from the pickup through the compression chamber. If it’s worn or stretched, you’ll see uneven bales, jamming, and the kind of headaches that cost you time when the weather window is closing fast.
What You’re Getting
- Pre-cut 158-pitch chain assembly that drops right into place without measuring or cutting
- Heavy-duty #80 carbon steel construction built to handle the constant load of crop flow
- Single-strand design with standard link plates for smooth operation and reliable power transfer
- Diamond brand quality that matches or exceeds OEM specifications for long-term durability
Built for Real Farm Work
This upper drive chain fits John Deere’s popular mid-size square balers including the 468, 468S, 469, 568, and 569 models. These are the workhorses you’ll find on farms putting up everything from first-cutting alfalfa to straw, and this chain handles the demanding job of feeding crop consistently into the baling chamber regardless of conditions.
Made to Last
The carbon steel construction and precision manufacturing mean this chain won’t stretch prematurely or develop weak spots that lead to breakage. It’s designed to handle the shock loads that come with variable crop conditions and the constant start-stop operation that’s part of baling.
Good to Know
This chain comes pre-cut to the exact 158-pitch length your baler needs, so there’s no guesswork involved. Take a minute to clean out any old grease and debris from the chain housing before installation, and make sure your chain tensioner is properly adjusted once the new chain is in place.
