Description
When your baler’s lower drive roll chain starts stretching or jumping, hay season suddenly gets a lot more stressful. That drive roll system is what feeds hay smoothly through your baler, and when it’s not running right, you’ll get uneven bales, jams, or worse – a breakdown in the middle of your best cutting weather. This replacement chain assembly keeps everything moving like it should.
What You’re Getting
- Precut 70-pitch chain assembly sized perfectly for your 468 or 468S baler
- Heavy-duty #80 carbon steel construction that handles the constant load of dense hay
- Diamond brand quality with standard link plates built for agricultural use
- Direct replacement design that installs without modifications or guesswork
Built for Real Hay Work
This chain fits the John Deere 468 and 468S square balers – machines that have earned their place in hay fields from small operations to commercial producers. These balers are known for making tight, consistent square bales, whether you’re putting up first cutting alfalfa or late-season grass hay. The lower drive roll is part of what makes that consistent feeding possible.
Made to Last
Baler chains take a beating – they’re constantly under tension, dealing with dusty conditions, and handling everything from light grass to heavy, stemmy hay. This Diamond chain uses carbon steel construction that resists stretching and wear. The single-strand design with standard link plates gives you the right balance of strength and flexibility for smooth operation.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward if you’ve worked on baler chains before. Make sure to check your drive roll alignment while you’re in there – a misaligned roll will eat up even the best chain quickly. Keep a master link or two on hand for field repairs, and don’t forget to grease those drive roll bearings while the chain is off.
