Description
When you’re baling hay and notice the pickup drum isn’t grabbing windrows cleanly or hear that telltale flapping sound under the baler, chances are good your pickup bands have stretched, cracked, or broken. A worn pickup band means missed hay, uneven feeding into the bale chamber, and headaches when you’re trying to get your crop baled before weather moves in. This replacement poly band gets your pickup working smoothly again so you can focus on making good, tight bales.
What You’re Getting
- Durable polyurethane construction that resists cracking and stretching better than rubber
- Proper tension and grip to move hay smoothly from pickup to bale chamber
- Weather-resistant material that handles sun, moisture, and temperature swings
- Direct replacement that fits like the original without modifications
Built for Real Farm Work
This pickup band is designed for Case IH’s smaller square balers that handle the bulk of hay operations on family farms and mid-size operations. Whether you’re baling second-cutting alfalfa, grass hay, or straw, this band works with your pickup drum to keep material flowing consistently into the baler’s compression chamber for uniform bale formation.
Made to Last
Farm equipment parts need to handle everything from blazing summer heat to spring moisture, and pickup bands are no exception. This poly construction stands up to UV exposure and temperature extremes better than traditional rubber bands, maintaining its flexibility and strength through multiple seasons of use.
Good to Know
Replace bands as a set rather than individually to maintain even pickup performance across the full width. Check your pickup drum for wear or damage while the old bands are off—nicks or rough spots can cause premature band failure. Proper pickup height adjustment helps bands last longer and work more effectively.
