[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 7992431, member: 615"] Haven't changed them every year, but it's onto the third set of them now. The chain links and u bolts wear and stretch eventually. There is one section of floor chain that's 13 links opposed to the others that have 11. Once the floor chain tensioners are fully wound back, you can remove two out of of the 13 links section to extend the"life". However once the tensioners are fully adjusted with the two links removed, it's time for new chain sections and U bolts. Mine has been only been blowing straw the past winter and half, after buying a bale unwinder for the haylage. Chains need checking every month or so now, instead of weekly when it was blowing haylage and silage. [/QUOTE]
