Roller chain

[Spark plug]

Would anyone happen to know what you call roller chain that has half as many rollers than a standard chain?

Snapped a chain on an old hay baler yesterday and never used this type of chain before.

I've heard it called agricultural or long link chain up here.

I've heard them called long or extended pitch chains, other than that

Not a normally stocked item cos they never give much trouble...and the extreme cost....
There's normally enough slack n adjustment in the equipment to just fit a repair link....!!!!!!!
Won’t go into why it sapped as it's norm lack of maintainence....
U'll prob find a tract breakers near u with enough for the repair...
I have never replaced a whole chain of that type in 50 years working on the agri job...
Get lucky...

But why use something so odd ball in the first place. What’s wrong with BS chain you can buy any ware.

less rollers = bigger gaps, so less likely to fill with bandersnatch?
