When your baler pickup isn’t feeding smoothly or you’re hearing grinding from the support rollers, worn bearings are often the culprit. This 1-1/4 inch hex bore bearing is designed specifically for baler pickup support applications where the hexagonal shaft connection prevents slipping under load. The sealed design means you won’t be crawling under the baler for constant greasing during hay season.
What You’re Getting
- Precise 1-1/4 inch hex bore that locks onto hex shafts without slipping or spinning
- Sealed construction keeps dirt, chaff, and moisture out while holding lubrication in
- 2.83 inch (72mm) outer diameter designed for standard baler housing assemblies
- Timken quality construction that handles the shock loads and vibration of pickup operation
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing is engineered for the demanding conditions inside baler pickups where it supports rotating rollers that lift and feed crop into the chamber. It’s commonly found in baler pickup support applications and combines discharge systems, where the hex bore design prevents the bearing from spinning on the shaft even when things get tough. Whether you’re baling dry hay or pushing through heavy windrows, this bearing keeps the pickup feeding smoothly.
Made to Last
The specialty agricultural design means this isn’t just a standard bearing—it’s built to handle the unique stresses of farm equipment. The sealed design protects against the dust, moisture, and crop debris that would quickly destroy an unsealed bearing in baler applications.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement bearing that slides right onto your hex shaft. Make sure to check the shaft for wear or damage before installing the new bearing. A light coat of anti-seize on the hex bore helps with future removal without affecting the tight fit you need.
