Description

When you’re making hay or raking windrows, the last thing you need is a broken reel drive belt bringing your operation to a halt. This 131-inch V-belt keeps your reel spinning smoothly, whether you’re cutting alfalfa with a mower conditioner or raking hay into perfect rows. A worn or snapped belt means your reel stops doing its job, leaving uneven cuts or scattered hay that’ll cost you time and quality.

What You’re Getting

131-inch length that matches original equipment specifications exactly
TISCO construction that handles the constant starts, stops, and direction changes of hay equipment
V-belt design that grips pulleys securely even when conditions get dusty or damp
Built to handle the variable loads from cutting thick stands to light stubble

Built for Real Farm Work

This belt fits a wide range of Ford New Holland hay equipment including mower conditioners like the 429, 467, 469, 477, 478, 479, 488, and 1469 models, plus the 57 series rakes and 906 combines. These machines work hard during hay season, often running from dawn to dusk when weather windows are short. The reel drive system takes a beating from crop debris, moisture, and the constant reversing that comes with windrow work.

Made to Last

Farm belts need to handle more than just power transmission – they deal with chaff, dust, morning dew, and the heat that builds up during long cutting days. This TISCO belt uses materials that resist stretching and cracking, so it maintains proper tension and keeps your reel turning at the right speed throughout the season.

Good to Know

Installation is straightforward – just release tension on the old belt, slip it off the pulleys, and route the new one following the same path. Check your pulley alignment while you’re at it, since a misaligned pulley will eat up belts fast. Keep belt tension snug but not overly tight – you should be able to deflect it about half an inch with thumb pressure.
