When the row unit drive chain gets stretched, jumpy or kinked, a cornhead starts showing it in jerky feeding and broken parts. This size 80, 65-link roller chain is built as a direct replacement row unit drive chain for John Deere® 1243, 1290, 1291 and 1293 cornheads, giving the drive system a fresh, tight chain so the gathering rows turn steadily instead of surging and snapping. A good chain is cheap compared to the downtime that comes with sheared keys, broken sprockets and slugged rows.
Swapping in new row unit chains during preseason work or when you notice excessive slack is one of the simplest ways to keep an older head running like it should. This replacement chain is built for field work, not show, so you can put it under tension and go back to picking instead of nursing along stretched, rusty links that have already done their time.
