Wires breaking on support bars
Possible causes are too little tension, poor contact with the beam or worn support rubber. Check the prescribed voltage for your machine make and model.
The wear pattern often tells where things go wrong
Record the location and pattern of the break. That information helps with checking tension, support bars, impact and specification.

Read the wear pattern
These signals often point in one direction. Check the machine and mounting before choosing just a heavier wire.
Break in the middle of the free field
Look for impact, long free threads, overload and thread or material choice.
Damage along the edge
Check fit, side seal, hook direction and whether the deck can move during operation.
Evenly thin and flat
This more often appears to be normal wear and tear. Record the operating hours so that you can compare service life between specifications.
Check before a new deck
Record the pattern
Take an overview photo while the deck is still in place.
Check tension
View whether the deck is tight and whether the tensioning device pulls evenly.
View support bars
Check rubber, height, contact and wear across the full width.
Compare the specification
Look at mesh shape, long opening, thread, hook and material.
Not every brand is tensioned the same
Follow the machine manufacturer's instructions. Please provide make, model and year of manufacture if you want us to look at the fracture pattern.
Send the wear pattern
Send an overview photo, a photo of the fracture and a photo of the contact with the support beam. Also include brand, model and year of manufacture.
