Chain supply for agricultural machinery

Harvesters, balers and elevators — what we make, what standards it holds to, and the five details we need to quote a landed price.

What we supply

Chain typeWhere it runs on the machine
Gathering chainCombine and corn header gathering units — CA550 and CA557 profiles, with the lugs your header uses
Feeder house chainFeeder house into the threshing drum; wet crop, stone ingress, shock load every cycle
Elevator chainClean grain and return elevators; abrasive dust, high speed, continuous duty
Baler chainRound and square balers — high linear speed and constant flexing
Manure spreader chainApron and drag types — 662 and 667X steel pintle chains for slurry and fertiliser exposure
SprocketsMatched to the chain, bored and keyed to your shaft

Agricultural chain types and what they are used for

Agricultural chain is not one product but a family, and the type follows the crop and the machine. The main agricultural chain types we supply are:

  • CA-type gathering chain — the slat chain on the cutter bar of a combine harvester. It runs through standing crop at high speed, so link geometry and wear surface both matter.
  • Feeder house chain — carries the cut crop from the cutter bar into the threshing drum.
  • Elevator chain — lifts grain, chaff and clean grain between the cleaning shoe, the grain tank and the unloading auger.
  • Baler and manure spreader chain — for round balers, disc mowers and manure spreaders, where the chain runs in slurry and abrasive material.

If you are looking for agricultural chain suppliers, the useful detail is the machine model, the chain number and the length in links. With those we can quote a match, or tell you honestly when a different type will serve better.

Standards

  • CA550 / CA555 / CA557 / CA620 — CA-type steel agricultural chain, ASME series
  • ANSI 40 to 160 roller chain
  • BS and DIN equivalents
  • Quoted by standard chain number and attachment code

Material & treatment

  • Alloy and carbon steel
  • Rust-preventive treatment as standard; corrosive duty discussed per application
  • Lugs, flights and attachments — standard configurations or to drawing

Five details, and we can quote

  1. The chain type — standard chain number, or a photo of the link
  2. Pitch and strand count
  3. A photo of the chain on the machine — this alone is usually enough
  4. Seasonal quantity — how many sets you fit in a year
  5. Your target price, if you have one
Any one of these is enough to start. Agricultural chain is rarely bought by pitch alone — the lugs and the fit on the header decide it. A photograph settles both.

How we work

  • One contact, direct. No call centre, no ticket number.
  • Written specification first — dimensions and material confirmed before anything is quoted.
  • Sample before season. Sections of chain can be sent for trial ahead of your run.
  • Custom is normal, not a special order — non-standard lugs and attachments are routine work.
  • We supply from China's chain cluster, not from a stock list. Anything not held can be made.
  • No catalogue dump. You get the item you asked about, priced.

Email is the fastest way to reach me — a photo of the chain on the machine is usually enough for us to come back with a price and a lead time.
