i want to give a quick thank you to the wd-40 company for sponsoring this video
HEY
what did we mess up here
oh boy nothing it just went bang the wheel stopped turning
and then i want to make a note this is actually the part of the planter that you worked on
and that's why we test it before heading out to the field
so it looks like a little i thought it was metal but i guess it's just a little plastic piece
the tensioner for the drive chain rides on this little plastic bearing that holds it in place
and i guess that snapped and came loose for us it's 3 40 on a friday so hopefully sloane's has
the part in stock we can make there just in time four four six five six let's see
oh my god really up there
absolutely get your hands on it
so sloane's has three of the parts that we need in stock in bloomington
so we're gonna unload the sprayer that travis bought for the atv and we're gonna
fly to bloomington get it hopefully get it fixed in good time
grab it like you stole it or it isn't yours
there ain't nothing here
yeah there is 5075e all right new planting tractor
that's not it no that's right but why the made out of plastic that's bs on all sorts of levels space
age materials thats technology man well thing is he's getting uh he's getting the blame because
he's the one that changed the chain the chain was routed right but he was the last one to touch it
so you're guilty by default is basically what he's saying i'm pretty sure that's all the
problem was yes it's still green you can thank your local parts guy for stocking that for you
and i figured it must be a common part of the brakes yeah so you knew it was a problem why
don't you warn us yeah what the heck i just did i got it on the shelf for you how much more can i go
about it it should have told us that it was gonna break and you just told us to replace and you just
said i'll all right i don't wanna spend the money up front guys are too smart for their own good
thanks janelle
well we know for a fact i could have welded this even though it's plastic
yeah that should have nothing to do with it if you're good enough at welding so to give
yourself a souvenir seems like you're the one that broke it six dollar apart just put us back an hour
i came up to grab the wd-40 specialist gel lube
no drip spray we're going to spray this inside that plastic bearing to give it some lubrication
because there is no other way to lubricate it so we figured it's probably a good idea to spray
this before we even get it on safe on multiple surfaces including metal plastic and rubber
all right i fixed your mistake this time you do it again you and i are gonna have words
let's try this again shall we
i've been getting a lot of people asking me what brand these tires are they are carlisle
255 65 r12s
they're pretty aggressive
that's just over an inch and a half one more check
manager is coming
well he's heading out to start planning out at my place
now he broke down he got started out there fortunately i didn't leave yet or
unfortunately because i don't want to been out there with him but let's go see what went wrong
it's all wrong
just not running i didn't even go ten feet yeah i basically it did it the second planter hit the
ground so i don't know if it's the shaft is getting is that shouldn't be moving like that
but i can also get some shims behind there and actually tighten that up and then it'd be fine
i mean this is obviously crooked now there's got to be something making it jump
being all things considered this is what it is but when i sight down the rest of it it looks fine
so it's kind of the same thing happened again
something's going on in here so we're going to take the very scientific approach and i'm going
to ride along i'm actually going to put my camera into slow mo mode and see if it does it again
that bearing that we replaced got kind of screwed up so there might be something else going on
that we can't see so now that i'm here i'm gonna ride on it it's a very unethical thing to do but
to help us try to figure out what's going on i'm gonna ride on the planner and just kind
of keep my eye on this and see if i can tell or get it on camera when it happens
and then we can go from there i don't know what to tell you it seems to be working all right now
i don't know maybe it's like a reverse schrodinger's cat kind of situation
we'll wait and see what happens when it gets just over the hill to where i can't see it anymore
he's gonna keep going i'm gonna go back to the farm get this as a seed tender uh with those
extension boxes on there uh for how much he's done on this lower strip and it's pretty much hardly
gone down at all already so um he thinks that we're gonna need to fill up at least once before
he finishes the strip on top of the hill because the one up there actually is kind of a big strip
wow this looks important probably because it's one of the trash whippers
shoot it right off
we've not had any more issues since the chain jumped the sprocket the second time it did it
over at the main farm and we ran it some more it broke they broke that plastic bearing we replaced
that and uh it seemed to be running good he came out here did the first 10 feet and he said it did
it again and after that i decided to ride with him for a while and i rode with him and couldn't
tell that there were any major problems at play nothing happened the planner has been running good
so let's just go ahead and chalk that one up and say that it's a friday it's a good day it
had to do just enough to keep us on our toes and if it happened on a monday maybe then i'd
be a little bit more concerned we're hoping that we can get all the soybeans in by early
early mid next week because they are calling for rain so if we can get all the beans put in
and then we can get a nice spurt of rain on them that'll jump start those
and get those started so then we can just switch over to the corn and focus on that
so so far the planter seems to be running pretty good i'm gonna utilize my time better
and instead of just staying out here with the seed tender waiting for him to come back around
i'm gonna go in and start working on a video because i haven't gotten inside past nine o'clock
any night this week so my time is getting stretched kind of thin especially when
i have multiple things to be doing like making videos so i'm going to go inside and do that
i'll be sure to keep you guys posted if anything else happens how the weekend goes
i meant to get some footage of dad running the vt today but unfortunately
i couldn't i went to sloanes with him and we got the planner up and running so that's the
good news so anyway that's pretty much it for this video guys thanks for watching be sure to
