Interesting comment. I bought this baler a couple of years ago and guess it is an '85 model. I'm sure the belting was original.

Belt was the mini-roughtop which is pretty abrasive (not as good as chevron) and was worn to the point where it was smooth.

I bale sudan sorghum cross hay. It is stemmy and gets to 5 or so ft. Was having a bear of a time getting the roll to start; once started things were fine.

Decided that my belts were slipping over the stemmy stuff and not grabbing it. Hence the decision to go for the chevron belt. Best thing I ever did. I can whack a windrow now with no critical attack parameters and not even look back cause I know the roll has started (but I do anyway). Fast, slow, side, center, large/small windrow, stemmy, fluffy, dry, doesn't matter any more.
