Rod belt (1) for agricultural machines comprising

• at least three pull-resistant, elastic and continuous (endless) belts (2) running parallel to one another extending in a direction of movement (R), where an inner belt (2) runs in-between two outer belts (2),
• fasteners (6) connected to the belts (2), and
• rods (3) arranged perpendicular to the direction of movement (R) and parallel to one another, each running in-between two of the belts (2), the rods (3) each being held at their rod ends (3a) by fasteners (6) connected to the respective belts (2),
• the respective fastener (6) comprising at least:
• a support area (7) extending in a longitudinal direction (L) via which the fastener is attached to the respective belt (2) of the rod belt (1), and
• an intermediate area (8) made one-piece with the support area (7) on which at least one rod Stab (3) is held via its rod end (3a) directly and/or via an additional socket (11),
• characterized in that
• two of the fasteners (6) are arranged with their support areas (7) overlying each other on the inner belt (2) of the rod belt (1) in such a way that the intermediate areas (8) on the two overlying support areas (7) lie adjacent to different belt outsides (2a) of the inner belt (2), and the rods (3) held thereon extent in opposite directions starting from the inner belt (2).
