It depends on how many bales you have made and how often you lubed the chains. Usually the sprockets will last through several replacement chains. Wrap a new chain around the sprocket and see how it fits. The chain should lay down in the bottom of the teeth. If it does not lay down in the bottom of the teeth all the way around, then it is time to replace.
