Re: Chain vs. Belts?!?
Our team has used #35 chain with no master links for the past 3 years. Before that we used belts one year and did some direct drive from the gear boxes before that. Personally i dont see us ever moving away from #35 chain. We have never had a problems with it while i have been on the team, however i think that our first year we did break a few chains dew to improperly installing the master links. Since then we just haven't used master links and it works very well.
