Abstract
Abstract A belt guide roller for a baler having a wheeled frame with front, top, rear and bottom portions. A plurality of spaced apart driven belts extend around the frame and are designed to roll the hay into a large cylindrical bale in conventional fashion. The belt guide roller is rotatably mounted on the lower forward portion of the frame means and exerts pressure against the driven belts. The belt guide roller has a plurality of spaced apart annular guide members mounted thereon which extend between the driven belts to keep the driven belts from laterally shifting. The pressure which is exerted against the driven belts permits the driven belts to engage a greater portion of the periphery of the drive roller on the frame means thereby decreasing belt slippage.
