Belts generally appear to be good shape. The belt that twists is in the middle. I've reset it once and it lasted about 5 bales and flipped again. Tried reducing the core compression ( I.E. Hard core verses soft core) which reduces how tightly packed the bale is with no change with that belt. The belts general are looser when you do this. I'm thinking about replacing that belt and the one next to it ( the clipper on that one has a slight tear ). Any ideas? These belts are ~$200. The baler takes 8 belts..

generally a belt flips over when the hay is to wet or a big pile of hay is forced in.i would get that belt relaced then set the pressure back up. you could also check the belt lengths ,your manual will tell you how long or short they should be.but you will have to take them all off.you could have a long belt.
