Always nice to show that not everything lasts forever. You would think there wouldn't be much wear on the rake but if you have uneven ground it can really be hard on them. Thanks again.
You will need all the extra teeth to roll up that heavy alfalfa crop you knocked down last video. Good job Tyson and Shaun, keep the great videos coming.
Good day Boy I had to laugh out loud, when you ask Shaun if he had anything to say ''not a dam thing''. But at around 8 mins. I noticed the hay rake inspector was there Fred & Barney & Shuey? Thanks.
We used to protect them against rust before storage. Giving the wheel a swing and spray Tectil or undercoating on the ring, filling the holes . Looks you did that too on 1 wheel ?
In order to keep the elongated holes from breaking more teeth could you add a rubber grommet of some type. Easiest way for that might be aerosol rhino liner. If need be accelerating the cure time with a heat gun or torch. Both sides of the ring and both sides of the wheel
Too bad we all didn't have a hand like Shawn, you're lucky to have him for sure. Though somewhere I seen a video that was mentioning that it was better to run worn teeth together and new teeth together.
I went to buy 28 teeth and for the cost it was cheaper to buy the whole take wheel and use old ones for replacement on future broken ones...new Kuhn 12 wheel is about 9000 bones...
The baler can bale 3 feet long pieces of wood.. I think the little pierce of steel is nothing...IM more worried about tires!!! I already have had on go through
got a question for ya. lol. where or what field would u spread ur pile of manure on? like the field, where u just made hay off of? or on a field, that has grain on it. wanna see ya attacking that pile u got stored. ha! thanks for video. i watch em all-just never comment much-ok. probably the best-huh
The Manure will be spread after the barley and wheat are harversted here. We never spread manure on hay land. If the weather is good we are going full force on it. Cant wait
What kind of rake is that.teeth and plates and bolts that hold teeth exactly the same as my vicon. Just walked out looked at my 2016 sitrix.same. paid 6300 new 10 wheel.with a center wheel.fall of 2016
The way to fix those wheels is have a machine shop make you a bunch of metal slugs with a slight edge on them just a bit less than the diameter of the wheel. Have them drill a hole dead center of the slug or plug as would be in a new wheel or the diameter of the rake teeth. Then you drill out the hole where the broken rake tooth was to the diameter of the small portion of the plug the machine shop made you and tig or skip well it in, and bingo, a hole that can be fixed over and over again. If you used two drills, the second drill should hold it's diameter by a few thousandths of an inch, giving you a good fit of the new inserted plug, or send away and buy a reamer about .005 bigger than the small portion of the plug the machine shop made you.
mixing new teeth with old ones that are worn can cause the new one to break as its longer and then take more stress. put new on one wheel and take the worn and use on the others :)
Since this is such a ass aching job which causes lost time in the field. To improve turn @ time OLF has a few of these rebuilt and ready to go. Replace the entire wheel and keep raking. You can replace individual tines when weather keeps you off of the field
I'm a fan of your vlogs and do not promote others. But, today OLF had a great vlog how to beef up an H And S rake. Maybe you could use the modifications as well.
Go to ruralking.com and search for hay rake wheel and you'll find SKU 8050014 for $99.99. You can buy on line and pick up at the closest store. And NO, I don't work for them, just trying to help.
Thanks for the reply. Been watching Ryan and Travis for a while and hear them talk about you now and then and see you chatting in the live streams, so figured I should check you out. Love the content so far. Started watching videos a year out and working up from there before I go and watch older stuff. Fellow Canadian. From Ottawa, but don’t hold that against me 😉. Go Sens Go!
If you just loose them nuts to the end of the bolts you should be able to slide them teeth in and out without taking the plate right off. One man job i do it myself all the time with my 3/8 milwaukee cordless impact. I hate to say but i think i can change them faster than both you goin at it. Unless your rake is different....
