Who’s getting hay equipment prepped?

How bad did it slip, as the number of drive belts reduced? At least in shop machinery, the reason for 3 belts has everything to do with power transfer (a given belt can only handle so much torque and horsepower), and very little to do with redundancy.

I'd guess on equipment used out in the field, redundancy may be more of a consideration in the minds of the designers, as you're not operating in the same room as a handy tool chest and spare belts.

You are right about belts. Sometimes they’ll hang on by a thread.

Thanks on the shop …. Not really organized yet but nice to be inside and dry.

Seems like I always end up working on something right in the dirt LOL.
