Getting the Spreader chain out 

Good doggie helping. Good morning from Ithaca NY.

Hey.. Rigby is my sister in-laws nephew. You have a good boy working with you there Jack. Hi ya Rigby = Uncle Greg.

Hi fella's, the chains have individual tensioning mounts up forward behind idler rollers. You could have loosened it right back to expose joiner links & break it there, you still should back it off to install replacement chain. Guessing its all done by now. Love ya content. BZ.

Creative re - engineering. Love it!

Might check with the fert spreader maker to see if there are any upgrades. Usually (in some fert spreader designs) there is strip of metal inside the spreader in the bottom (with a narrow strip of belting on top) to reduce the amount (and weight) of fert material jamming in the bin's bottom Vee corners on the floor ag chain.

Just think, with this experience, the next chain you have to replace will be much easier. Thanks for the video.

Looks like you blokes were making it up as you went along, but you got the broken chains out!

I made a press tool to make obsolete links to repair a machine used in filling plant pots very similar to your chain. I keep them on the shelf so come the season (now) I can go in and repair the chain.

The dog wants to help

It's knackered

Rigby - good for content!

Just started watching your channel and I was curious if you had thought about getting some pairs of Walker electronic ears? I like them way more than classic earplugs. They would be great for any noise canceling and still give you the ability to hear.

When you do not take care of your equipment you will have lost of problems. In the US the slow season is vehicle and equipment maintenance time.

Up grade your tools or invest in cutoff equipment
