Round Baler Belts

[strum456]

I need a set of belts for my 535 John Deere round baler. I have located distributors for the following manufacturers:

1. Prairie Belting $1800
2. Ag Belt / Apache $1800
3. WCCO $2200

Can I go wrong with any of these?

Unfortunately, I dont own a Deere RB, I have New Holland RB's. Is the dealer expensive for new belts?

NH here too. Everything green costs more...lol

Prairie Belting is an OEM supplier to NH and CaseIH. Their catalog is also available to those dealers through a "Direct Ship" program that allows OEM dealers better pricing than through their own parts system. When I was a NH parts manager we sold Prairie Belting belts as replacements for NH balers and any other brands that we needed belts for. I highly recommend them.
I'd say that pricing is pretty good for a 5x6 baler.

Is it a continuous belt?

Is it a continuous belt?

Thank you for that Rick. I was leaning towards Prairie anyway. Not continuous - any type of lacing I want. What do you guys recommend?

Mato.
As far as I know Mato is still Deere's factory lace and the best choice among those available.
