My baler has 8 belts covering a 60" window. They are continuous and run on about 8 rollers scattered around the chamber. At the upper end of the throat is a roller that is square, like a paddle wheel. At the entrance to the chamber, the belts run opposite to oneanother in opposite directions. The only way the bale can start is to get squeezed between these opposite rotating belts. The paddle wheel helps this occur. Friction, as I've learned, between the belt and crop are essential. The springs keep tension on the belts as they expand with the chamber filling. The more spring pressure, the more dense the bale and of course the heavier. Go and ask someone who has what you want to buy and listen to what they have to say. Good luck, Mark
