Description
When your round baler starts making that telltale grinding noise or the chains keep jumping off, there’s a good chance your slip clutch sprocket has seen better days. This 38-tooth replacement sprocket handles the constant shock loads and tension changes that come with baling, keeping your pickup running smooth and your chains tracking straight where they belong.

Built for Real Farm Work
This sprocket is designed for John Deere round balers including the 467, 567, 457, 557, 447, 547, 458, 558, 449, 459, 469, 559, and 569 series. These balers handle everything from dry hay to tough crop residue, and this sprocket’s slip clutch design lets the pickup absorb the shock when you hit that hidden rock or extra-heavy windrow without breaking expensive chains or bending pickup tines.
Made to Last
Round baler pickups work harder than most folks realize—constantly lifting, compressing, and feeding material while dealing with dust, moisture, and the occasional surprise obstacle. This sprocket combines the durability needed for continuous operation with the slip clutch protection that’s saved countless farmers from major repair bills when things don’t go as planned.
Installation Notes
This is a direct bolt-on replacement that uses the same mounting pattern as your original. The slip clutch mechanism is pre-set from the factory, but you can adjust it if needed for your specific conditions. A quick tip: when installing, make sure your chain tension is correct—too tight and the slip clutch won’t protect you, too loose and you’ll get poor power transfer.
