NE CO | I have a 7 year old Sund belt style combine pickup and the belts are worn out. I checked with the local JD dealer where I purchased the pickup about the cost of replacing the belts and found the cost to be what I considered excessive. The 11 rubber belts are 11 1/4 inch wide and 53 1/2 inches long with molded on rubber fingers about 3 inches long. The fingers have worn down, so I ended up buying JD plastic fingers and bolting them between the existing fingers. This has worked well for several years and now the plastic fingers are wearing down, and the belts themselves are starting to wear out.
Any idea where I could get a generic belt that I could use on this pickup attachment. I would prefer a belt with the molded fingers, but am not opposed to using the plastic bolt on style fingers if necessary.
The cost of the replacement belts made me think it might be a better idea to buy a whole new pickup attachment. I use it primarily for picking up proso millet for threshing. Anyone have a favorite brand? This belt style Sund has been much more reliable than the rake-up style, but doesn't seem to pick up the windrow as cleanly as the rake style.
