Way back in the 1950s and mid 1960s we used to drive a threshing mill, hammer mill and a silage blower with a 100ft crossed belt with alligator lacing.
At the lacing joint the edge of the belt was angled and the lacing wire/pin was bent like a "L" on the end with the short part of the "L" pointing away from the direction of belt travel.
On windy days Dad would drive a bar in the ground next to the belt but not touching it on the opposite side from where the wind was blowing, protecting the belt from being blown off the tractor drive pulley.
