Multi-Brand Compatible Canola Pickup Belt Metal Joiner (18.75")
Enhance the strength of your feeding system with this premium aftermarket canola pickup belt metal joiner. Specifically engineered to suit 18.75" wide belts on MacDon®, Case IH®, Phillips®, and New Holland® platforms, this strap is the professional solution for creating a secure, high-strength belt connection.
Unlike standard bolt-only methods, this metal strap is designed to work in conjunction with the overlap-style belt join. By installing the strap over the overlapped section, the clamping force is distributed evenly across the belt width. This significantly reduces localized stress on the belt material and prevents the bolts from "pulling through" under high tension, ensuring a longer service life for your expensive pickup belts and keeping your machine in top condition.

Expert Maintenance Review
The belt join is the most common failure point in a pickup assembly. When using bolts alone, the belt material often tears around the fastener heads due to the high-torque start-stop cycles of canola harvesting. This extended wear metal strap provides a reinforced bridge across the join, effectively sandwiching the belt to create a high-strength mechanical bond.
Implementing this joiner is a strategic way to **save money** by preventing catastrophic belt separation mid-harvest. By protecting the belt's structural integrity, you maintain optimum tracking and prevent the abrasion that occurs when a loose join catches on internal frame components, ensuring your front-end remains in top condition.
Installation Tip: Overlap Integrity
For a successful high-performance join, ensure the belt overlap is clean and free of sap or debris before positioning the strap. Aligning the six pre-drilled holes precisely with the holes in the belt prevents uneven tension. Using this strap in conjunction with the overlap method provides a significantly longer service life compared to butt-joints or single-fastener configurations.
