When your round baler’s pickup system starts leaving hay behind or not feeding crop into the chamber smoothly, a worn pickup band is often the culprit. This poly pickup band is what keeps your windrow moving into the baler consistently, ensuring you’re not wasting valuable crop or dealing with inconsistent bales.
What You’re Getting
- Durable polyurethane construction that outlasts rubber bands and resists cracking
- Green color that resists UV damage from constant sun exposure during baling season
- Flexible material that maintains grip on hay and forage even in wet conditions
- Direct replacement that installs without modifications or special tools
Built for Real Farm Work
This pickup band fits a wide range of John Deere round balers, the workhorses that handle everything from first-cutting alfalfa to dry straw. Whether you’re putting up hay for your own cattle operation or doing custom baling during those narrow weather windows, this band helps ensure your baler picks up every stem cleanly.
Made to Last
Farm life is tough on pickup bands – they’re constantly flexing, stretching, and dealing with dirt, moisture, and crop debris. This poly material stands up to the punishment better than traditional rubber, giving you more seasons of reliable service and fewer mid-season breakdowns.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward but having an extra set of hands makes the job easier. Check your pickup drum for any rough spots or burrs that could damage the new band, and inspect the other bands while you’re at it – they usually wear at similar rates.
