Description
When your baler’s pickup drive starts slipping, making noise, or wearing out the chain, you’re looking at a critical component that keeps hay flowing smoothly through your machine. This lower drive sprocket sits right at the heart of your pickup system, transferring power from the main drive to move that heavy windrow into the baling chamber. Without a solid connection here, you’ll have feed problems that slow down the whole operation.
What You’re Getting
- Double sprocket design with 24 and 40 tooth counts for optimal chain engagement
- Precision-machined 1-1/2 inch hex bore fits your drive shaft perfectly
- Built for #60 chain – the heavy-duty standard for baler pickup drives
- Direct replacement that bolts right in without modifications
- AgSmart quality that matches OEM performance and durability
Built for Real Farm Work
This sprocket fits a wide range of John Deere round balers including the 466, 566, 446, 546, 456, 556, 467, 567, 457, 557, 447, 547, 446, 458, 558, 449, 459, and 559 models. Whether you’re running a smaller utility baler for a few hundred acres or one of the bigger machines that can handle heavy windrows all day long, this is the same pickup drive configuration that came from the factory.
Made to Last
Baler pickup drives work hard, constantly engaging and disengaging as they lift hay off the ground and feed it into the chamber. This sprocket is built from quality steel that handles the shock loads and torque spikes that come with picking up varying amounts of hay. The precision machining ensures smooth chain operation and extends the life of your entire drive system.
Good to Know
This is the lower sprocket in the pickup drive system – make sure to check your upper sprocket and chain while you’ve got things apart. The hex bore design means it’ll only go on one way, so alignment is automatic. A light coating of grease on the shaft helps with installation and prevents corrosion.
