"Life is just too short." **proceeds to sawing off the belt** I like your thinking.

One nice thing about breaking the splice is that you can splice the new belt to the old one and pull it through. We do that a lot with conveyor belts, even if it means putting a new splice end on the cut end of the old conveyor. Then you can pull the new one through with the skid steer or something like that. On big conveyors we use a D8 Cat or big front end loader.

Perfect timing, my father and I discussing how to change belts out on his jd baler today.

I'm glad you found your GoPro!!

Great job, those splice pin are a pain in the ass to get out once they been run long time it makes groves in pin, I worked at a plant with a lot on belt conveyors pain in the ass.

Just curious question No I’m not a farmer nor have I ever been one but just learning about it. I seen you were to run the bailer slowly so if you were able to get the old pin out can you connect the old with the new belt and feed it through slowly?

Do you ever clean the grease off of the baler chains? How? I have a Vermeer baler that needs all new belts and is full of very dirty grease. Great hacksaw job!

The commentary was awesome

Do you have a video on how to remove the upper tension springs mine are broken need to replace!

We have a ago Heston 955 round baler, we changed all 7 out of 8 belts this year. We changed ours a different way. But ours is twine string instead of netwrap, so I don't know if that matters.

I learned something new today

we use constant chamber baler with rollers, works very good but bales have soft core and no problems with belts :D

I was riding around wiht my uncle and cousin bailing hay and when we put the belt back on we got to lay on the belt and it was like a hammock it was awesome

Ryan, like your duck tape and hacksaw method and life to short thinking good job my friend.

Pin your new belt in the splice with the old belt and pull it through its what I do it works great 😉👍

No patience in pulling the old pin out. Now he ruined a belt that could have been a backup for when he is in the middle of a baling job. Nothing worse than running to get a new belt or splicing an old belt in the middle of a job.

Cody Jones yeah I don’t think he knows what he’s doing.

I did mine last summer way easier with two people! That new belt isn't cheap

The way we did it was we connected it at that splice point and used the pto to bring it around. But also it took two people one turning the pto on and off the other feeding the belt

This is the way we do it also. The way it was done in the video is by far the least efficient way possible.

how much is a new belt over there , john from ireland

There's an easier way of doing that... get a 50 foot long yellow poly rope, about 1/4 inch diameter works fine. Grab a piece of heavy wire, like high-tensile fence wire, about a foot long. Tie a knot in the end of the rope around the wire, after bending it into a "V" shape with the ends bent over toward the center of the "V" straight across from each other. Pull the lacing pin holding the old belt together. Hook the ends of the heavy wire into the lacing by pushing them into the lacings on one side of the belt splice. Idle the tractor and engage the PTO, and the old belt will roll right out as it threads the rope through the rollers. When the lacing and rope come out the other end, turn the PTO off, and repair the belt. To install, move the heavy wire hook to the other end of the rope, push the wire ends through the lacing, and idle the tractor with the PTO engaged. The rope will pull the belt right back up through the rollers and thread it around-- when the lacing comes out with the rope, shut off the PTO and install the new lacing pin. Sometimes you DO have to gently pull the rope so that it will grip the rollers enough to pull the new belt in. When replacing the old belt with a new one, you can simply hook them together by pulling the old lacing pin, mating the old belt to one end of the new belt with a piece of wire (or the old lacing pin), then engage the PTO with the engine idling-- the old belt will roll right out as it pulls the new belt up through the baler. When the other end comes out the back, stop the PTO, pull the wire holding the old belt lacing and new belt lacing together, and then lace both ends of the new belt together with a new lacing pin... Later! OL J R :)

Just need to run it until your splice is at the front then pin the new belt to the old one with a piece of wire and have one person run the pto while another person pulls the slack on the old belt. Can change out all the belts in under an hour.

You made a reference to a Canadian TV program from 1990's-2000's, "The Red and Green Show", when you said "the handyman secret weapon: Duct tape. You know that show?

It sounds like you watch red green

Hello, my name is Renat, I have a press John Deere 550 where you can buy locks for belts Aligator ?

grind one end of the wire to a point and it will slide in way easier

Do all belts have to be the same size

To me that seemed like more work to attach it to the old belt... I just take the old belt out and thread the new one in.. dont have to pull on the old one and tape it up

what you gonna do with the old grain cart now that you have a new one?

did he say in the video? I must not have been paying attention then.

I don't know how I ended up watching this, but I can smell that shed from looking at it. They all smell the same. BTW we've found it cheaper in the long run to replace all the belts at once if one goes they all go, saves down time later and time is money.

Are you not able to take the skid steer and move the baler? We do it a lot to move stuff quickly I just didn't know if you guys did or not

was thinking you had to replace all the belts at the same time. some would be stretched and will not make an nice round bale

Fascinating, not a job to try if you are in a hurry!!

Next time spray that belt lacing with some penetrating oil, then twist it around with the vice grips. Much better chance of it coming out of the lacing.

what number of baler do you have ?

Duck tape!!! If u can pull the splice apart thats where u hook the new belt to then pull it threw!!

I broke a belt last year... got all wrapped up in the rollers and tore three belts... I just replaces all the belts except the outside two on each side. Very expensive!!

Hi

I tell you what, the older John Deere balers splices are a pain in the ass to change.

my uncle has a son that was a mechanic and he does it for free for us

You should practice and succeed with changing a belt prior to making an educational video. I’m still searching on KZread trying to learn the right way to change belts. But thanks for trying.

Ryan, I hope you washed your hands afterwards. That Bird crap is full of disease & etc; especially Histoplasmosis. I had a friend to die because of it.
