How do I know if my baler needs new strapping bands?

If your baler strapping bands are snapping, loosening, slipping or not holding bales securely during compression and transport it may be time to replace them with new bands. You can also look for signs of poor or worn bale banding, such as an irregular bale shape, broken straps, less tension, or too many machine stops.
