Hay Equipment

The Company was founded in 1954 and was most recently known as the agricultural belting division of Wahpeton (USA) Canvas Co., Inc.
2004 will mark 50 years
WCCO Belting, Inc. offers a full line of agricultural belting and canvas products. All products meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer's sizes and specifications.
WCCO offers the absolute best quality to keep the user in the field during the critical harvest season.

Original Equipment Sizes & Specifications
from every major agricultural equipment manufacturer. WCCO supplies over 90 percent of all swather canvases put on new machines “at the factory”. The confidence in WCCO workmanship shown by all manufacturers is a direct result of WCCO’s efforts to maintain product dimensions and standards for every model. As a result, our canvases meet all the demands of today’s modern farm machinery.

Only the best materials
are used for WCCO swather canvas products. The carefully developed synthetic fabrics and compounds used by WCCO provide excellent environmental tolerance while withstanding highly abrasive conditions. Both are critical to reducing maintenance and costly downtime. In addition, the fabrics are "reverse twisted" to ensure the best tracking characteristics.

Unsurpassed Quality
keeps you in the field during the critical haying and harvesting seasons. Prior to shipment, each canvas produced by WCCO is inspected to assure compliance with strict quality standards. Ours is an ISO-9001 Quality Certified facility.

Most Durable by design.
All rubber cleats on WCCO’s Rub-R-Cleat™ canvases are vulcanized under heat and pressure to become an integral part of the finished belt. The edges of the belts are subject to heavy stress and are double reinforced to extend the life of the canvas. The belts are also reinforced with a double strip in the center. Our standard cured rubberized fabric will significantly outlast conventional canvases.

State-Of-The-Art Design
ensures you that you’ll receive only the best swather canvas. WCCO is committed to being the industry’s engineering leader. We provide fiberglass reinforcement rods in all Rub-R Cleat™ canvases. The rods are shaped to provide enhanced rigidity without sharp edges that can increase "wear" in high stress areas. In addition, our Econo-Cleat™ Wood and Poly slat models have more staples and rivets per cleat, which reduces stalk and weed pick up.

Most Reliable construction.
What makes WCCO canvases durable also makes them reliable. Impregnated rubber cleats, vulcanized rubber-coated fabrics, Fiberglas reinforced rods, materials that won’t shrink, rot, or mildew, poly cleats and reinforced edges all keep WCCO products running longer.

Economical to own.
When considering the superior materials, quality workmanship and state-of-the-art designs, your best values are WCCO swather canvases.

Our Research and Development Continues
to provide space-age materials to reduce the weight of our belts, the power required to drive the belts and increase strength and life of the belts at the same time.

Swather Belt Installation
Please Read
A few minutes of your time can prevent premature belt failure and costly down time.

Preparation – Before
1. Check all bearings for movement without drag or noise. Lubricate or replace as required.
2. Check for bent or broken rollers and replace as required. Free all rollers of rust and foreign material buildup.
3. Eliminate catch points, weld splatters and sharp metal edges.

Maintenance – After
1. Drapers should be REMOVED when the machine is not to be used, or if it is exposed to weather for an EXTENDED period of time. Roller rust and deterioration caused by decaying materials, accelerated by wet conditions, can result in premature belt failure.
2. Store drapers in a protected, dry place.
3. On swathers using two belts of equal size, ALTERNATE belts PERIODICALLY to even wear and extend belt life.
4. Before re-installing belt for the next season, EXAMINE fastener bar connectors closely. REPLACE bent or broken connectors immediately to prevent belt damage.
5. Remember WCCO Swather/Windrower Belts are specially designed for this application. Special materials and quality craftsmanship make WCCO Belts excellent replacement products, that meet or exceed O.E.M. requirement

Installation
1. You can operate your WCCO Swather Belt in either direction. However, install the HEADS of the connector bolts so they are facing the direction most frequently operated.
2. Remove excess material on the flap. To prevent noisy slapping effect during operation, trim tail end flaps to ¼ inch after fastener bar has been tightened.
3. Belts will tend to creep toward the slack side of the roller. If distance “A” is less than distance “B”, then the belt will tend to run toward the high side of the roller carriage. If distance “A” is greater than “B”, then the belt will run toward the low side of the roller carriage.
4. When adjusting the roller carriage, always keep the rollers parallel with each other. For best results, measure roller ends diagonally across roller carriage making sure the distance from points “C” to “D” is EQUAL with he distance from points “E” to “F”.

Round Baler Belt Installation
PLEASE READ
A few minutes of your time can prevent premature belt failure and costly down time.

Preparation – Before
1. Always use the same ply construction for all belts. Two-ply and three-ply constructions do not react in the same manner under tension. Use of different ply constructions will create an unequal load situation and the baler will not perform properly.
2. Check all bearings for movement without drag or noise. Lubricate or replace as required.
3. Check for bent or broken rollers and replace as required. Free all rollers of rust and foreign material buildup.
4. Eliminate catch points, weld splatters and sharp metal edges.
5. Replace all worn belts at the same time.
6. Resize all belts, new and old, to equal lengths for maximum load distribution.
(NOTE: Resize all belts between each baling season.)

Maintenance – After
1. Take up roller adjustment to recommended tension. (Important: Check your baler’s operating manual for proper tension adjustment. NOTE: It is especially important to leave the recommended slack in the belts on Vicon, McKee, New Idea and corresponding Case IH models. A belt adjusted too tight will have a shorter service life.)
2. Check your belts, belt lacing and pin occasionally during use. Make repairs or replacements as required. (Note: The lacing and connecting pin are your belts’ weakest points. Proper maintenance is critical to your baler’s overall performance.)
3. Resize all belts and replace as necessary between baling seasons. Check your baler thoroughly before starting your next baling season.
4. Remember, WCCO Baler Belts are specially designed for large round balers. Special materials and quality craftsmanship make WCCO Baler Belts excellent replacement products that meet or exceed O.E.M. requirement.

Installation - Upper Belts
1. Install belt following “Direction Of Travel” arrow. (End with 45 degree corners and the least number of hooks is the trailing end. End with square-cut corners is the leading end.)

2. After threading a belt through the machine, pull ends together. Insert connecting pin through the lacing hooks making sure the hooks on both end alternate. (Leading end should have hooks on both outside edges.)
3. After inserting the connecting pin completely, bend approximately ¼ inch of the straight end at a 90 degree angle to match the other end.

Installation - Lower Platform Aprons
1. Clean V-guide slot on pulleys. (Note: International Harvester models do not have V-guides.)
2. [Follow steps 1& 2 from Upper Belts instructions above.]
3. If Clipper Lacing is used, insert leader wire attached to cable, through hooks. Do not jerk on leader wire or it will come off. After cable is in place, remove leader wire, attach retaining nut and crimp it. If Minet Lacing is used, install pin and bend approximately ¼ inch of straight end at a 90 degree angle.
4. Run baler momentarily to check for proper tracking, adjust as necessary.
NOTE: Belts which are all replaced as a set, will generally fit better and last longer.

Endless Baler Belt Installation Tip:
After installing the new belts, decrease the belt tension to about 60% to 70% of the normal baling tension and run the PTO slow (less than half normal speed). Watch the belts for tracking so they don't run up against any belt guides. This will probably take some roller adjustments on the baler. Adjust the rollers according to the Baler Owners Manual. Slowly increase the PTO speed while watching the belts for tracking. Slowly increase the belt tension to no more than 75% of normal baling tension. If the belts are running proper, you can go to the field for baling. Start baling at a reduced throttle speed to insure proper installation and tracking of the new belts. Do not increase the belt tension for increased bale density until you have ran at least 25 bales. This will allow the belts to break in and conform to your baler. Continue to monitor your belts daily and make adjustments when necessary.

Belt Lacing and Tools.


Agparts stock Clipper vice lacer 7" and 10" tools for easy in-field service.Titan and Mato vice lacer tools available as well.	Various baler belts use different fasteners for the splice. Note that different O.E.M.’s have different specifications. Agparts keep a comprehensive range of Clipper, Titan Goro and Mato joiners and joiner wires.	Smartlocks are a great way to protect the joiner ends from pulling out. Easy to install with Clipper type joiners.

Field Service Guide for Belting

TRACKING PROBLEMS

Belt runs to one side along given point on machine.
1. Idler or idlers that immediately precede trouble point are not at right angles to longitudinal axis of Advance the end of the idler to which the belt has shifted in the direction of belt travel. Check for belt end squareness to belt centerline.
2. Frozen and sticking idlers Lubrication poor, improve general maintenance.
3. Frame of conveyor crooked or idler stand not centered.Determine extent of misalignment, then square.
4. Material building up on idlers. Check installation of scrapers, or other cleaning devices. Improve general maintenance.

A single section of the belt tends to run to one side along the machine.
1. Crooked splice. Belt needs re-splicing with ends squared with belt centerline.
2. Crooked end of belt at fasteners, or fasteners not joined squarely. Belt should be re-spliced, if possible, using new fasteners.
3. Bow in belt. New belt may straighten out as it becomes broken in.

Wandering Belt
1. Belt too heavy or stiff for drive rollers. Replace with a more flexible belt.
2. Poor loading or off-center loading. Change loading procedures.

WEARING PROBLEMS

Damaging wear on drive roller side of belt.
1. Drive roller is slipping. Increase take-up, lag drive or increase arc of contact on drive roller with snubber oil.
2. Loading end of belt has buildup of material which is being ground between belt and drive roller. Improve belt loading procedures. Install plows or scrapers in front of drive roller on return run. If leakage through fasteners, use belt with flap or vulcanized splice.
3. Idlers are sticking. Increase maintenance and lubrication.
4. bolt heads protruding above lagging. Replace worn lagging on pulley. Tighten bolts. Cement lagging to pulley.

Excessive edge wear.
1. Folding of belt edge on edge guard or frame. Consider using more stable construction. Provide more clearance. Smooth any rough areas on
2. Side loading. Load in direction of belt travel.
3. Buildup of material on drive roller. Install scrapers to eliminate buildup from pushing belt against frame.

Top Cover Wear
1. Return idlers dirty, frozen or misaligned. Clean belt; clean and lubricate idlers .. Improve maintenance. May need cleaning device installed. Check alignment of return idlers.
2. Poor loading conditions. Correct to feed onto center of belt in same direction as belt runs. Material falling down from delivery chute should be at about same speed as conveyor belt.
3. Sags in belt letting load shift as it passes over idlers. Increase belt tension and/or reduce idler spacing.

Top cover grooved and gouged.
1. Skirt boards are pressing against belt. Skirt boards are too hard. Redesign skirt board to permit material to work out, not in. Change to softer material for skirt board. Do not use reinforced rubber for skirt boards.
2. Space between belt and skirt seals is too great. Adjust to minimum clearance and angle to belt to allow material to work itself out.
3. Material jammed at chute. Redesign chute.
4. Metal side of chute or skirts too close to belt. Adjust so gap between metal and belt increases in direction of travel to avoid jamming.

BREAKING PROBLEMS

Breaks in belt parallel to belt edge or star breaks in belts.
1 Heavy lumps falling on belt or falling from too great a height. Reduce impact of material by redesigning loading area.
2 Material lodged between belt and pulley or stuck to back. Return run should have scrapers ahead of tail pulley. Check loading design to reduce material

Breaks in belt parallel to belt edge or star breaks in belts.
Belt fasteners too large for drive roller size being used. Replace with manufacturer's recommended fasteners.

Transverse breaks at belt edge.
1. Folding up of belt edges. Improve tracking. Increase lateral clearance. Redesign of belt construction may be required.
2. Belt is mildewed. Use belt with polyester or nylon fabrics and mildew inhibitor in rubber compounds. All WCCO belting have synthetic fabrics and contain mildew inhibitors.
3. Idler next to drive roller is located too high. Reposition final idler in line with drive roller and previous idler.

Fasteners pulling out, tearing belt.
1. Fasteners wrong size or not tight. Replace fasteners and inspect regularly. Consider fasteners with longer reach.
2. Belt too tight. Correct belt tension.

Fasteners let go.
1. Fasteners not clinched tightly. Replace fasteners and clinch tightly.
2. Fasteners wrong size. Replace with proper size fasteners.
3. Fasteners too weak. Replace with higher strength fasteners.

Fasteners on edge pull through belt.
1. Fasteners too close to edge. Check fastener to edge distance, leave 1/4 inch between last fastener and belt edge.
2. Pin improperly installed. Replace pin.

STRETCHING AND SHRINKING PROBLEMS

Stretching
1. Belt too tight. Reduce take-up tension.
2. Belt not heavy enough for desired application. Switch to a higher grade belt.
3. Frozen idlers or buildup of material on drive rollers and idlers. Improve maintenance and clean-up. Lube or replace frozen idlers.

Shrinking
1. Bad edge on belt due to rubbing. Improve alignment of idlers, drive rollers and tracking of belt. Consider narrower belt.
2. Damage by abrasives, chemicals, mildew, acid heat and oil. Specify belt with proper resistance for material being handled. Check maintenance procedures.
3. Improper adhesion.

Cracking covers
1. Abrasion, chemical, acid or rot damage. Specify belt with proper rubber compounds for material being handled.
2. Belt too tight. East tension on belt and use some type of compensating take-up. Consider lagging drive and using snub oil.
