  • This is a video about putting a new handle in our old silage fork. I can’t believe what I did! I broke a tune off with a poorly placed swing of the hammer!

    Watch us make this silage with a wood chipper! Very unusual method that works great!

    Glad those cattle are eating it now.could probably get that tine welded back on. Might lose a bit of tempering in it, but with that many tines alongside it, it should be fine. Best wishes Brother

    Breaking that tine was a real bummer, but then again, if a tool is used, these things happen. You could always get a nickel welding rod and repair it, I just know you have a welder.

    Can you weld the tine back on ? It is a shame that it broke, I'm glad that you were able to fix the handle.
    Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe.
    May God continue to bless you and your family.
