In this video we have issues with our corn grinder/mixer. Right away we start to diagnose the issue and take things apart. In the meantime we went to pick up my uncle's corn grinder to finish the job. All in all it was a good feeling to get the job done even with a big road block along the way. Thank you all for watching the video!

❤😊OF COURSE WE LOVE THE VIDEO ❤😊

@anthonyhengst2908 Год назад

We had that same thing happen to our Gehl mixer when we changed the front bearing we changed them both. When one goes it's just a matter of time for the other one to go.

@cppat1 Год назад

Absolutely agree with you, ahh farm equipment repairs….. how I miss doing that….. NOT! Lol

@CuriousEarthMan 11 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same.

@jerry-fu7yb Год назад

Why are you only running one dual on the tractor that is on the grinder?🤔🤔.

@hankelrod7315 Год назад

I would change both sides

@clinthochrein888 Год назад

Couple classic GEHL mixers. Thankfully Mason herd the strange noise before it became more possible catastrophic.

@generationll Год назад

Its to bad that Gehl got out of the farm equipment busniess.Nice to have 2 grinder mixers.

@jazzerbyte Год назад

Good that it was repairable. My family's 54-year old NH grinder mixer's main gearbox self destructed last year. No fixing that one. It was in continuous use at grinding several loads each week since 1968!

@MorganOtt-ne1qj Год назад

Nothing wrong with that. Nothing lasts forever. But they can probably find a main gearbox in a salvage yard.

@hturbo1007 Год назад

Have you ever changed out the hammers? If so the mill should be re balanced. We had that problem with both our Gehl mills. Even turning the knives around and not putting them in the exact spot that they came out of will throw the balance off. If the balance is off, it will shorten the life of the bearings.

@dekdek551 Год назад

There is always something that can go wrong!. Great that your uncle is nearby, so you can borrow equipment in an emergency. Does your uncle milk cows as well? Enjoy your weekend folk and all the best from a very chilly Scotland 😀.

@davidbarnes706 Год назад

To be a farmer you have to know every other trade I really enjoy the videos

@MorganOtt-ne1qj Год назад

At least Gehl equipment is easier to work on. That 100 has probably been mostly trouble free for long time, and you can throw a few parts in every few years and still have one of the best grinders made. 👍

@peacepeople9895 Год назад

Is a customary thank you still a case of beer in Wisconsin?

@PremierYachtFLL Год назад

I miss those days, working with my Dad keeping the old equipment running.

@doncc6080 Год назад

Something we learned in changing 100's of bearing in industry. When a bearing as most are held in place by a set screw. It helps to remove the set screw and use a punch to smooth the mark made by the set screw. The bearing slides on the shaft much easier.

@MorganOtt-ne1qj Год назад

🤔 thanks for the hint. I never thought about that. 👍

@LukeLong-oi4uc Год назад

Great content! I love seeing fathers and their sons working together. I worked with my dad on his farming and ranching operation, and he helped me back the same way. I remember working with my dad at 5 years old back in 1974 all the way up until he passed away in 2008. We were best friends and we worked good together. I learned most of what I know about cattle and farming and being a mechanic from him. I loved him dearly! Treasure what you have there with your father and brothers, because it’s a wonderful blessing! God bless all of you and your families! Luke

Something always breaks on the weekends

@paulmartin8784 Год назад

You guys are good at fixing If i was unloading one grinder mixer into another grinder mixer i would take the screen out and run it through the hammermill to get mire capacity

@danw6014 Год назад

Might pay to have two mixers. Mine are really old. I got a second one here last spring. I want to get it in the shop right after I'm done with corn and get it in shape. I can hold two batches in my bin and have the mixers full. That will last a couple of months so I don't have to worry as much in bad winter weather.

@gbh559 Год назад

The misadventures of farming. Thankfully the Uncle is nearby enough to lend you guys his grinder mixer. I bet that hammermill did make some noise when the bearing gave up.

@farmcentralohio Год назад

When a farmer takes his hat off you know the repair is getting serious.

@brentwelin3612 Год назад

If god knew we would be using 3 jaw pullers he might have given us more hands

@bigchew3149 Год назад

We Also Grind Corn to feed the Cattle in the Winter Time & The Blades on Ours Are Getting Mighty Dull..Have not Sharpend them for 2-3 Years..lol.

@raymondhenderson1516 Год назад

Hate breakdowns,but always easier to fix the older stuff then the new stuff and alot more cheaper. Hope your able to get parts and have it fixed soon.Great to see everyone pitching in and getting the chores done.Glad you were able to borrow one and complete your feed grinding. Hope you and your family have a blessed weekend.

@douglaswhite7328 Год назад

Couple of Q?s.... 1. Do you grind the whole cob AND the kernels into your feed mix? 2. Why does your 1066 have dual rear tires on right but a single rear tire on the left? Is that for better traction when plowing a field?

@MorganOtt-ne1qj Год назад

I can help with the first question: grinding the whole ear providers fiber in the ration, and the kernals provide energy. Some people chop "earlage", which is using a combine "snapper" head on a chopper to do the same thing in a ration. Great question, but IDK anything about why they run the R dual and L single

@PAplowboy Год назад

Are grinder did that 2 winters ago only did one bearing should have done both now we just pump the grease to it before we start ares is a 100 ghel also

@curtiswolf313 Год назад

I had a Gehl 100 like that back in the 80's. Had the bearing in the flywheel go out on mine. Other then that it was a good machine. How easy are parts to find since Gehl dropped their farm equipment line?

@markschwab7829 Год назад

The joy of having any piece of equipment is that when it breaks you have to fix it. We never put that big of a tractor on our mixer we had to many tight places we used 656 and Super Mta in a pinch. Like the sound of your 1066 though!

@terryflaming606 Год назад

On our way Monday from Spooner to Holmen, we took the sweet way & enjoyed your area.

@veetwin75 Год назад

farm life....expect the unexpected

@geraldsundberg3610 Год назад

Yeah, some times you have to double clutch when things don't go according to plan!

@AcmeCountryAcres Год назад

Breakdowns are hard but you guys deal with it very well.

@remigroulx1992 Год назад

No time to be lonely on a farm I enjoy your video thanks for sharin keep up the nice work✋🍺🍺🍺

@anthonyblalock1790 Год назад

You guys are so incredibly talented at being flexible and finding solutions

@leoslaby622 Год назад

I love watching the videos, also I use to help your uncle out on his farm and your videos bring back memories

@farmcentralohio Год назад

Dad is quite the cameraman, gets all the good shots :) All the shots by everyone are good, didn't mean that to sound like the others are not so good

@jeffshiner6087 Год назад

I always feel a bit guilty about this, but to me the most interesting videos are when something goes wrong, as I find it fascinating to see how you all approach and fix it.

@randycharest4507 Год назад

Enjoyed watching the video 😊

@theburnhams2925 Год назад

Torching seems, always, to be needed on the hottest days...

@DonWelter Год назад

Things seem to pick inopportune time(s) to cause problems. At least no one was injured and the grinder/mixer didn't suffer major damage. Glad you were able to get your uncle's machine and get the feed grinding finished. Always seems like for us Saturday afternoon is a prime time for breakdowns when the dealers are already closed until Monday. At least you can get things apart and take inventory of needed parts. Glad I'm not the only one that uses the "smokewrench" on occasion LOL

@davidkimmel4216 Год назад

Thank You. Bummer

@heatherkohlwey8379 Год назад

I thought I heard the screeching halt in the background. It was just as Mason described it. I do love the videos of the farm. Thank you so much for sharing them. Please stay safe, and God bless.

@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 Год назад

It does seem to happen that when it is hot and there is a holiday, something will break down. Never had any experience with your type of equipment, but am very glad you were able to borrow a grinder/mixer. Totally different story, but when we were on vacation up in the Smoky Mountains, the timing belt slipped on our car. The park ranger knew something about it and was able to get it to run kinda. We limped into a town and had to wait a weekend before we could take it in to get it fixed. Hope all went well on the fix. Nice to see the ducks, I was wondering how they were doing on that pond.

@deanschafer5919 Год назад

Love all your videos guys! Keep them coming!

@claudiashook2001 Год назад

Great job telling and showing the problem. I'm looking forward to the fix.

@131R30 Год назад

Appreciated you taking us along for the tear-down process.

@doug4320 Год назад

A frozen raccoon will take out the bottom auger on a Gehl 95, so now whenever its parked a bucket gets put in the dust collector hole.

@jamesbristow5740 Год назад

Those are pretty neat feed mills. I worked for a chicken farm for a time that had their own feed mill with an automated stationary hammer mill in a building and grain bins with augers surrounding it to load our in house feed truck that delivered to our own and our contract farms, so for the opportunity to drive and use tractors to accomplish what that boring automatic machine did seems way more fun.

@Meister775 Год назад

Farmhand mixalls are supposed to take less PTO horsepower than Gehl

@harryfatcat Год назад

When I do a repair along those lines I'll write the part number on the cover or somewhere nearby so I know what's in there before taking things apart the next time.

@duanebolen543 Год назад

The joys of farming man. I remember them days very well and then I started working for an Implement dealer they sold gehl equipment We had a farmer that always left feed in the mixer mill an would shear the key of to the mixing augar with feed froze in it ,what a job pulling the gear box an what a mess

@MorganOtt-ne1qj Год назад

Can't fix stupid.

@ThomasDrehfal Год назад

When something breaks down, chances are it will be either too hot or too cold - guaranteed!

@jamesmorrison1884 Год назад

Enjoyed your video i I allways liked grind feed taste good. Have a great day.

@Blackwellll3066 Год назад

I'm courious how big of a difference of the mixers are

@jacobb3446 Год назад

Not much different bigger tank, bigger hubs, longer unloading auger on the 170 also a little newer than the 100 they have.

@MorganOtt-ne1qj Год назад

175 is newer, tank capacity is bigger. Main drive to the mixer auger is different, but basically the same mill. Screens are the same size and interchange, same hammers as well.

@robertlusnia506 Год назад

Enjoy all your videos

@mathiggins4264 Год назад

Do you need a green band just like that 1?

@russellyoung1181 Год назад

Where do you guys source Gehl parts?

@terrydarow8401 Год назад

Hope u get it fixed with no issues hopefully not to much of an expense take care ❤

@mikeburgan7675 Год назад

Thank you for another cool video about life on the farm!

@hillbillyfranks Год назад

It's heck when something breaks It's nice when you can borrow somebody's elses Stay safe and we'll catch up the next one have a good day

@johnhenderson299 Год назад

Great team work

@CuriousEarthMan 11 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this one! I was glad to see the guts of the hammer mill on that unit. That bearing did NOT want to come off, but you persuaded it :) Nice to see everybody working together! Was that a 'brown Swiss' in the middle, coming to check out the activity? Thank you!!
