John Deere S680 hydrostatic pump failure - learn how to move a disabled combine 

Yeah we have done that many times

And cool equipment 😀

"The best" is just an opinion.

Thank you! I just took the hoses off the steering cylinder and attached two hoses that went to the scv's of the tractor.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Never was a Ford guy but I do like this truck. I am a die hard Ram truck guy.

@@ZKMasterTech I grew up on a mainly Red Farm once we got the 1460 axial-flow with nothing but Ford vehicles. I am familiar with John Deere 95R's, 8820's, 4840's, and an 8300 Drill. Extent of green for me. :)

Other than the FAV and the other shop trucks Rams are the most popular truck on our lot lol 1 2500 beast a big horn and a Laramie #Hemilove

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

🤣

On the steering cylinder

Thanks. That’s what I thought. But it kind of looked like the hoses went further to the front of the combine.

Yeah I had one last year which did the same thing.

yeah thats good if theres no shavings in the system. we had a hydrostatic pump failure in a combine and the whole systems had shavings in it. resulting in destroying both the pump and the motor and a flush of the whole system

@@eltontv6002 Yes, he was afraid of that, but the filters must have caught the shavings, as everything worked fine another couple years when I traded it off.

I had similar ideas 💡. 👍

What brand do your suggest?

@@TheJohndeere466 yeah it's $5k 🤑

For the price of hoses, you have a $100,000 hydraulic pump hooked to the front!

It’s the scv control lever in the tractor..

No it's my method.

There are different levels of stereo systems. The ones with the sub are the best.

@@ZKMasterTech this a signature edition with what look like tweeters in the cab posts.

No. I'm only tied into the cylinder.

No. Not just hooking into the cylinder.

You can't manual streer that combine through that soft field. You need precision when loading it on the trailer.

Yes sir!

Some things you can flush some you cannot.

If the machine is out of warranty the customer is liable.

Traded before repairs or lease was up. Tractors are the same. Either way, who buys these things? There can't be that many people who are trading up. The prices on 30 year old well maintained equipment is like a good 401k right now.

Because of the metal contamination in the whole prodrive and main hydraulic system. Way to many components to replace or flush to be in the field. There could be close to $80k in parts to replace before it's all said and done.

Yes.

@ZKMasterTech Thank you!!! Worked at a Sloans location as an intern and sincerely appreciate your videos. I wish I could still work with that crew, but I am trying to pursue farming. My question is on a 2013 S660. Random green trailer icon on the corner post now and then, and going down the road, it'll show up on the touch screen that there is a trailer attached with the chopper down message. I asked a Deere tech that conducted our recent inspection if there was a DTAC regarding this, and he located one related to recalibration of the lighting circuit. Is this a common annoyance? Is there a way to let Mr. Combine know that there is certainly no trailer back there? Thanks for your time and excellent videos!

@jessemaier8681 I’m not sure. Never seen that before. There is a calibration for the Amber lights but not sure that has anything to do with the trailer icon. I’ll have to look further into this.

Power Up! Thank you! No rush at all... I guess I have all the standard 2000 separator hour items to do, so ill be occupied for quite some time once I win the lotto to buy parts 😂

Every day lol

@@ZKMasterTech I design service trucks/ bucket trucks for a living and just wrapped up the first couple 36k ft/lb cranes on a 550 like you have. They’re pretty sweet rigs

Yeah I would love to have one of those!

That would be awesome
