As we all know, agriculture relies on continuously producing enough food to feed the world's population and plays an indispensable role in human society. To meet the growing demand, farmers are now equipped with advanced and modern equipment that eliminates many labor-intensive tasks. This has made farming operations more efficient, especially in areas where the growing season is short. Equipment is available for every stage of agriculture, from fertilizer application and crop harvesting to grain storage and everything in between. Today we'll take you through five types of agricultural machinery that commonly use stainless steel roller chains.

(1) Combine Harvesters.

Combining a harvester with a piece of large agricultural harvesting machinery can be an advanced and efficient way to harvest many crops. He can use different attachments depending on the type of crop to be harvested. For example, harvesting corn uses a line head attachment with a stainless steel roller chain. Many combines today are also equipped with high-tech equipment such as automatic sensor calibration, monitoring systems, sensors, and GPS assistance.

(2) Balers.

Various crop types in agriculture today need to be baled, hay being the most common. Balers also bale crops in various shapes: square, rectangular, or round. Many balers use heavy-duty stainless steel roller chains as parts because the chains and sprockets allow for increased loads.

(3) Large fertilizer disperser.

Nowadays, fertilizer is an essential nutrient for farmers' soil for healthy plant growth. To spread fertilizer more effectively and widely, farmers tend to use large fertilizer spreading machines, often stainless steel roller chain drive systems, designed as steel removable roller chains or steel pin roller chains.

(4) Hay bale conveyors/lifters.

Bale lifts are often used to help farmers transport hay bales to the upper attic of the barn for storage. Without these conveyors, considerable labor would be required to store these bales.

(5) Grain conveying systems.

Grain conveyor systems are often available in a variety of options. A stainless steel roller chain-driven conveyor system is one of the first choices for grain handling. A complete material handling system includes long lengths of conveyors, drying equipment, and multiple grain storage bins.
