This video is about Repairing The Krone Big Pack. keeping these balers running is very important. a little money spent now will save tons of money later.
As a faithful watcher of your videos, and a mechanical engineer, ( Michigan State graduate,retired GM employee) I must say your depth of knowledge and expertise in all forms diagnosis, fabricating and repair of myriad types of machinery farm and otherwise highly impresses me! And the fact that you are teaching your son and your sisters ? Son the ins and outs of not only farming but how to keep all the equipment in repair ! Is very commendable,keep up the good work ,and keep those videos coming Thank You!
SuperDd40 For big bales it definitely seems like krone is the way to go, “idiot blocks” seems to be Freeman, they’re built extremely heavy from the nuts and bolts to the plunger.
Hi Wes thanks for the videos I enjoy them and you're banter. And think its great the way you're encouraging all the lads in you're family the importance of looking after the equipment, and how to repair things. hope everything goes ok with the straw job
"You have to maintain your equipment". Yup. Sad that most people don't. Made a ton of money buying all sorts of vehicles,heavy equipment,travel trailers,and other assorted "stuff" that was previous owner abused and fixing it and flipping it for substantial profit.Grease and oil is cheap......
I believe it was only three. In addition, any work down outside the warranty program comes out of his pocket. Also it is different this year because he has to ship them down south early. Messicks probably could squeeze him in in such short notice and work on his machine for 2 weeks.
Hey Wes was there any indication when the bailer was running( I mean could you tell something was different or loose )when you were using it?..Thanks Jack
Need to buy a few more metric wrenches Wes. Hate those knuckle busters except for emergency situations. With the amount you have spent on parts and effort to maintain do yourself a favor and get the right tools. Lots of good reliable options out there without having to break the bank. Looking good!
Since you have to wait on parts anyway, pickup a set of large metric sockets while your on your parts run. (Repairs probably done by the time we see this, but they would be good for the next time you work on the Krone)
It would be good to try out the new Krone at home to work out any possible bugs before it is transferred out of State for the big straw job. Messicks may not be willing to travel to North Carolina for warranty work!
You love those Krone balers HUH Wes? I told you years ago they were the big baler on the market after I had done heaps of reading of how all the big contractors globally love the Krone Big Pack balers!
It seems like Scotland is getting the weather that America usually has this time of year. At my grandparents back door it was 30°c in direct sunlight and 20°c average around my area
A Wes question for you. I hope I'm not jinxing you but what if you do the straw job and you have a major breakdown with a Baler are you fixing it there or putting on the trailer and taking it back home?
My GrandDad was a fanatic about greasing machinery. And being a dumbass kid, I often thought it made more of a mess than it was worth. In the fullness of time, of course I realized that I was WRONG ... again.
Nice video, krone good be proud on you, this is the best advertisement they good gent. If you consider to make a movie, make a remake of The old man and sea, in your case The old man and his baler.
not that u probley care but balerwars 2019 that was supposta get his brand new shiny 341l baler tuesday has not said a word about it ..when asked .. we are just jealous but i guess he did rent a used tedder ... any one that reads this ,, you cannot beleive one word that comes out of that guys mouth ..just a heads up for anyone that thinks hes awesome ...lmao
I know you may think it is a joke but really clean your parts and apply Reg J B WELD and assemble a let sit for 48 hours .untouched. I have repaired dampener pulleys on wallowed out truck crank shafts. Used on mower drive pulley once and never could get pulley off even with torch. First time I was introduced to JB WELD a friend showed me a Kubota exhaust manifold that he fixed a crack 5 years ago. Before that he said every year he replaced cracked manifolds with new........
I dont under stand you had all winter to work on the balers they are the most in jewel piece of egumpment u have they should came before any else . Why wait for the last minute. .My dad always put his baler first . When he was in ghe hale bussiness.
I like how you address issues before they become major issues. Thanks for the videos Wes!
That wobbly bench with the vice on would drive me insane. .
Well I'm pretty sure OLF is all ready insane!

Built to last, that's something i haven't seen or eared of in a loooong time,

Another great video Wes, Preventative Maintenance pays off again before disaster strikes 👍
Hi Wes thanks for the videos I enjoy them and you're banter. And think its great the way you're encouraging all the lads in you're family the importance of looking after the equipment, and how to repair things. hope everything goes ok with the straw job
Wes just think about this thought. When you get back from NC you could hVe well over 50,000 bales on your older Krone.
Yeah Wes, not just the number of bales through that Krone but the tonnage you have processed compared to other balers
They need a separate special day: Shitty Mother's Day 😄
Nothing is worse than breaking shit in the field. Especially when rain is coming. I do believe Wes has his shit together
That adjustable tool is perfect for rounding nuts !! ;)
When I was wrenching for a living we called them nutfuckers
The Indy 500 runs on Sunday, and it’s still a week and a half away! Can’t wait to go!
At least you caught it before the splin was messed up. Saved a lot of money doing preventive maintenance .
"You have to maintain your equipment". Yup. Sad that most people don't. Made a ton of money buying all sorts of vehicles,heavy equipment,travel trailers,and other assorted "stuff" that was previous owner abused and fixing it and flipping it for substantial profit.Grease and oil is cheap......
I thought you had an expensive five year warranty plan with that baler, now your doing the service yourself .
Yep what a hero
I thought the same thing, warranty might have a limit on bale count.
I believe it was only three. In addition, any work down outside the warranty program comes out of his pocket. Also it is different this year because he has to ship them down south early. Messicks probably could squeeze him in in such short notice and work on his machine for 2 weeks.
Are you a baling contractor or a baler repair man,,? Make your mnd up
@@dexterscott33 yeah and the baler was running or needed to be available all winter.
Hey Wes was there any indication when the bailer was running( I mean could you tell something was different or loose )when you were using it?..Thanks Jack
Thanks for the video's Wes
Elbow grease always helps! Great vid!

OLF using the old sweedish nut rounder!! Get er done!
That camera kicks ass
It would be good to try out the new Krone at home to work out any possible bugs before it is transferred out of State for the big straw job. Messicks may not be willing to travel to North Carolina for warranty work!
New bakers already gone
Any Krone dealer will do warranty work.
Hard work, all I can say
Sounds like it’s raining again. Or should I say it’s raining still. Send 6 or so inches to southern Australia if you wouldn’t mind
It seems like it's never going to stop
I-95 is never an easy drive. Highest rate of accidents in the nation I think for Interstates. Love yer Vids
You love those Krone balers HUH Wes? I told you years ago they were the big baler on the market after I had done heaps of reading of how all the big contractors globally love the Krone Big Pack balers!
Well you might have to work alone today but at least you have us to talk to.
It seems like Scotland is getting the weather that America usually has this time of year. At my grandparents back door it was 30°c in direct sunlight and 20°c average around my area
Those adjustable wrenches are nice, but around here we call them nut lathes (mainly because that’s what they’re best at lol)
Thanks for the vid Wes..
Wes who needs a metric wrench when you can use a metric adjustable wrench... lol - nice video Wes !
Don't forget to wax it before you use it
I don't think 250.00 is gonna touch that fitting. Let us know how much ok. You must know that baler from end to end by now.
they could make sacrificial bushings that go on the bearings that you swap out, every 5000 bales, and that you can swap out in place on the machine.
That would just make more components in the chain of things that can shut you down by breaking.
Hey Wes, do the parts that the bearing rides on wear much?
A Wes question for you. I hope I'm not jinxing you but what if you do the straw job and you have a major breakdown with a Baler are you fixing it there or putting on the trailer and taking it back home?
Iam sure it will be fixed their their are shops their
It has been a strange spring huh Wes?
sounds like its rain down there Wes,from Vermont
Hey Wes, was wondering if you could give me your opinion on a John Deere 100 baler. We do about 200 acres of hay per year.
thanks for the video wes
Great video We you will need a ark soon is it raining in SC.
My GrandDad was a fanatic about greasing machinery. And being a dumbass kid, I often thought it made more of a mess than it was worth. In the fullness of time, of course I realized that I was WRONG ... again.
Use the prime when you use that machinists help it works better and good luck taking it back apart later
5:00 at I was thinking, if you slip or something stupid happens , your head would land right on that big spike
Nice video, krone good be proud on you, this is the best advertisement they good gent. If you consider to make a movie, make a remake of The old man and sea, in your case The old man and his baler.
Sprayfoam the roof, no leak and less noise...
Isn’t Memorial Day the 27th ? Maybe I’m wrong ! When do you start in NC ?
Raining again? Will it ever stop?
And it rains again bummer..
that thing is a frigging beast eh?
Are you gonna be keeping all 3 balers if the straw job is a yearly thing?
sounds like rain on the roof I been waiting a decade for rainy days to do maintenance
Krone may want to get a video of you baling straw or hay this year.
Where are you baling straw in nc
I wondered where all my rain went.
Wearing a jacket on Mother's day. Still hasn't warmed up much there?
Alan Waggoner you can hear it raining
Been about 45 degrees to upper 50 and ben raining and more rain
Same as you say for mothers hold just as true for fathers.
I think Mr. Pandy is a bit tired and Confused from working so much, Memorial Day is still almost 2 weeks away.
When you work seven days a week it’s easy to forget what day it is. After a while it just is another day. Just a minor detail.
@@stevelutzke9600 Yup, but Hopefully he realized it was Mother's day and wished his Mom and Teresa a Happy Mother's day or he might be in trouble lol
not that u probley care but balerwars 2019 that was supposta get his brand new shiny 341l baler tuesday has not said a word about it ..when asked .. we are just jealous but i guess he did rent a used tedder ... any one that reads this ,, you cannot beleive one word that comes out of that guys mouth ..just a heads up for anyone that thinks hes awesome ...lmao

Where do we contact you?
so what did you do for teresa's first mother's day?
My net portfolio change for April was $13,183.52. Cost Value $255,591.63 and Market Value is $371,777.31.
Wow Wes talking about your kids mother. Hilarious
Have you started on your planter rebuild
Won't be till next year. The weather won't cooperate and he has to head south starting next week so he's gonna send the seed back.
What did William get his mommy for mother's day?
When are we going to make money wes
Surely if its wearing the rollers it must also be wearing the cam track they run in ?.
Hiya Wes
I dont under stand you had all winter to work on the balers they are the most in jewel piece of egumpment u have they should came before any else . Why wait for the last minute. .My dad always put his baler first . When he was in ghe hale bussiness.
Depends when the problem is found
He was still baling in the winter time
I like the guy he up front with everything. Say what time on his mind .I made a lot of hay its not easy work . Alot of hrs
Plus he has a planter to rebuild before he can get his corn in....I couldn’t take the stress
I think he cancled corn for the year
I probably missed it? Did you get all your nitrogen down ? Stay safe !!
It’s mechanical still fix it now or later.
Comment
Ad van der Velden Could you please explain why you write that again? I read it was a pretty good story but never got to see it. Good day
Good job
Jeremy Nunn it’s cheaper if Wes does it himself unless he’s in a bind
Tell tim happy mothers day... wtf
