    Years ago a neighbor welded a chain to each shank and attached them to the main frame of the unit: so when the shank broke it was still hanging around and not in a tractor tire or the throat of the combine next fall.

      That's actually a good idea. Years ago we were raking hay with a 3 pt rotary rake on an Oliver 1450. At SOME point the lynch pin dropped out of the keeper on the drawbar and the drawbar and the tractor departed. We've walked and looked all over that field and never found that dang thing. Whenever we are in that field now we are absolutely terrified if we are gonna find that drawbar the hardway. You know darn good an well it would destroy just about anything that would hit it.

    • @Sicktrickintuner

      @Farming_With_Cole 2 місяці тому +1

      We have a sunflowers brand disc ripper they always break at the curve point it's just because when they are made, they are heated to bend around, so they are weaker. Disc rippers tear themselves apart no matter what brand, especially with rocks.

    Looks like those C shanks are made of pot metal and not steel. Guess they want them to break instead of bend and tweak the frame, but be nice to have a hinge and sheer bolt so you don’t lose the disc and have to replace the whole thing every time. Deere maximizes profit more and more these days, and creates a lot of waste and productivity loss for the user.

    Odd that Deere hasn't put in a grease line for that hard to reach one on the back of the rotor might be worth putting one in i know they make flexible lines for easy fitting

      They can’t. That part spins so the grease zerk can’t have a line on it

    Is there an aftermarket part you can try. I wonder why your back is sore? Try the drone to find them and start painting them safety orange or green.

    How about, with all that spare time you guys have, make a grease plate with tubes to the "always easy to reach" zircs and the zircs themselves are relocated to the grease plate, conveniently located right under an access door.

    It is hard to find landowners that will not chase a few dollars more per acre, but they are out there. The place I have now was owned by my parents and next year will be 40 years of the same farmer family farming it. Are parent went to school together so like 75 years of knowing each other. No point to change when you are happy and also the added things they do as well. Snow remover and haul in limestone at cost for you if you need some. All got to play a factor in who farms it as well.
