Description

When you’re dealing with bearing noise coming from your baler or feeling that telltale wobble that makes you cringe, it’s time to swap out those worn bearings before they cause bigger problems. A failed bearing doesn’t just make noise—it can damage shafts, throw your pickup system out of alignment, and leave you stranded during the narrow window when hay conditions are perfect. This sealed hex bore bearing gets your equipment back to running smooth and reliable.

What You’re Getting

Precisely machined 1-1/4 inch hex bore that fits snug on your shaft without play
Sealed construction keeps dirt and debris out while keeping lubrication in where it belongs
Heavy-duty design built to handle the constant stress of pickup rollers and tension arms
Quality construction that meets or exceeds original equipment standards

Built for Baler Duty

Round balers put tremendous stress on their bearings—pickup systems are constantly lifting, feeding, and handling tons of hay while dealing with dirt, moisture, and field debris. This bearing is specifically designed for the demanding environment of hay equipment, whether it’s supporting pickup rollers, tension arms, or other critical rotating components. The hex bore design provides positive drive engagement without the slipping that can occur with round bores under heavy loads.

Made to Last

Farm bearings need to survive conditions that would destroy regular industrial bearings. This unit features robust sealing that keeps contamination out and grease in, even when working through dusty fields or dealing with morning dew. The bearing housing is built to handle the side loads and shock impacts that come with baling operations.

Good to Know

Before installation, clean the hex shaft thoroughly and check for any wear or damage that could cause premature bearing failure. Mark the position of any components before removal to ensure proper reassembly. When pressing the new bearing on, support it properly to avoid damaging the races—a bearing press or large socket works much better than hammering it on.
