In today’s agricultural environment, uptime is everything. Whether you’re running balers, headers, cotton pickers or other harvesting equipment, every component needs to perform under pressure day in, day out.

MATO Australia’s U20 and H20 belt fastener systems continue to deliver exactly that: proven reliability, simple installation, and long-term performance across a wide range of agricultural applications.

Proven Performance Across Agricultural Machinery

The U20 and H20 fasteners are designed specifically for light to medium-duty, high-demand applications, ensuring belts stay connected and machines keep running.

The U20 system has long been a go-to solution on many leading baler models, including those from John Deere, Case IH, and New Holland. Its consistent performance and ease of use have made it a staple for farmers and contractors alike.

Complementing this, the H20 system offers a high-tensile alternative for operations requiring added strength and flexibility, particularly in tougher harvesting conditions.

Fast, Practical Installation Wherever You Are

The U20 fastener is installed using a bench-mounted tool, delivering precise, consistent results in workshop environments. Meanwhile, the H20 system is designed for maximum flexibility, requiring only a solid surface and a hammer for installation, making it ideal for on-site repairs and quick turnaround during critical harvesting windows.

This flexibility allows operators to minimise downtime and get machinery back up and running without delay.

Engineered for Strength and Adaptability

Both systems are designed to suit a range of belt widths and applications, with installation tools and fasteners available for belts up to 350mm wide.

Despite their similar appearance once installed, the U20 and H20 systems are engineered differently to suit specific applications, ensuring the right balance of strength, durability, and installation method for the job.

The result? A fastening solution that adapts to your equipment, not the other way around.

Supporting Productivity in the Agriculture Sector

MATO’s fastening systems are built to reduce downtime, simplify maintenance, and deliver consistent performance across the season. Whether you’re replacing a belt in the workshop or carrying out a repair in the paddock, having the right fastening solution can make all the difference.

As David Gilbert, General Manager of MATO Australia, explains:

“In agriculture, there’s no room for unnecessary downtime. Our U20 and H20 systems are designed to give operators a reliable, easy-to-install solution that keeps their machinery running when it matters most.”

He adds:

“What sets these systems apart is their practicality. Whether you’re in the workshop or out in the field, they’re built to be installed quickly and perform consistently across a wide range of harvesting equipment.”
