Length depends on how you want to set it up. Could be as short as 10' or as long as a 100' and belts are measured by the total length of the belt, not distance between pullys, and a new endlass belt when made that listed at say 50' was a total length of 47' as three foot was used for lap so that left for a spacing between pullys counting some for diameter of pully and some droop in belt about 22' between center of pullys and if pully was 6' from front of tractor that left 16' to get to machine and if pully on machine was 4' from front of machine would leave 12' between tractor and machine and if pully was on front of tractor size of the Case and normal sheller would leave about 16' between machine and tractor. If belt pully was on rear of tractor you could if you ran a non twisted (straight) belt and sheller was a small one made a certain way then you could set things close enough for a 10' belt but not practical. Also too long that the weight of the belt is hard to stretch up is not pratical. The size of your sheller could bake a requirement for a belt as narrow as 4" if sheller pully is that narrow but more than likely the sheller pully would be a 6" pully and your tractor will have a pully for that width belt; could use a narrower belt but not a wider belt; so probably a 6" belt what you are wanting but likely a 5" would also work with the power you have. A lomger belt needs a twist to control the flapping and a single twist reverces the direction of driven pully from drive pully. On a longer belt that needs to run the driven pully the same direction as the drive pully use a double twist.
