It was likely the bouncing of moving the bin that was shock loading the splines causing the failure, not the static weight of lifting it. So this is also a very good example of why you don't use your winch to hold down anything to a trailer or use the winch on a vehicle to hold it to a trailer. But the important thing is no one was hurt. Also really cute dog.
Farm Life. Something needs to be done, formulate a plan, set plan in motion, execute said plan….something goes wrong, formulate a plan. Rinse and repeat until the job is complete. I love it!
Bob was on vacation this episode so here are some puns in his honour: It's BIN great to see no one got hurt while the winch tried to PULL a fast one. And: He went NUTS hammering out those bolts.
I am glad none of you would ever get under a suspended load!... ;) And FYI, that kind of winch is not rated for overhead lifting, it has no load holding brake, and you can see why it is not supposed to be used for overhead lifting! I know you won't change up your equipment for safety, but I would suggest at least adding a pulley block to cut the load on the winch in half. Remember also that you add load from friction of the cable going over the boom sheeve, so the load that the winch sees is higher than the weight of the bin. You also get shock loading when you are traveling which could be quite considerable at times.
Ok LegArms, when lifting bin and crawling out, they need to block up with something so bin does not fall on you or who ever is getting out. Enjoyed. Looking forward to seeing project completed
Nice too see “snakebite” is healing well. Glad no one was hurt when that winch failed. Have you guys ever seen the trailer that south sask farmer uses too move bins?? Anyways thanks for taking us along
Thanks for another great video. Thanks also for showing us all that the "struggle" to succeed is common to us all. The past two years have been difficult for all of us, without the drought, so thanks for the positive attitude!:) A lesson for us all!
I watched that video of restoring the series 1 bud about the time you put it up and I have watched every episode ever since. Love your work. Love the attitude. Love the family atmosphere. Thanks
The important thing is everyone is safe. I installed bins around Billings for a summer back in 77. It was an interesting time. We used an actual crane on some of them and a hydraulic jack system on others. Come August, working the inside on those things was not something you did for more than an hour at a time. Had to trade off and consume lots of water.
Winches are unpredictable and dangerous. I work on 10-20k cap. frequently and I've seen them do strange things when they fail. Glad it didn't happen when anyone was crawling around the bin. That boom you guys built is one serious piece tho. Pretty cool
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. So glad none of you were next to that bin when it fell down. God was looking out for all of you. Sorry the winch failed. Bad deal. Believe you are right in getting a new one and not trying to repair the old one. Great to see wiggles again. We all enjoy him. Glad his hand is better from that snake bite. Hi wiggles!!!!!!!! To bad you can not move the bins right now. Hopefully when you get the new winch you will have some good weather days to try again. Glad the bin did not have heavy damage. Always something to do around the farm. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over all of you. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
When you have a load in the air no one should be near it. Use tag lines, they will give you a chance to move out of the way in case of an equipment failure. Very happy no one was hurt.
I know this happened a couple weeks ago but I’d really encourage you to check all the bearings and the journal’s as well as the bull gear for wear If you still can. Ideally when you reassemble you can check the backlash of the two gears to make sure you have the appropriate mesh. Failures like that don’t happen for no reason and it may not have entirely been the pinions fault. When you have poor contact with the gears or loose bearings/housings and they can push each other away that’s when you have a weak contact and the force is able to begin to shear the teeth.
Glad all of you are ok. So dangerous lifting heavy awkward steel Gread vid shot of the Big Bud rolling over. American iron getting it done decades after it was made Lots of verticle snap multipling the load on the cable n winch wh3n moving across even just slightly bumpy ground. Boom length n flex multiple the snap load
We used to own a TV 320 and that is how they ride. It had the big flat tracks that don't tear up sod as much. And it shook like that on pavement. We used to plow big parking lots with it in the winter and any faster than slow and you can loose your dentures haha.
In 2000 my helitack team was sent from Nova Scotia Canada to Montana for the forest fires, first place we went to was Shelby MT 3 days for introduction then. they moved us to Darby MT. for 5 weeks.
I’m not from big farm land and never seen a bin moved that way. I helped move a few and we used jacks to lift them and took the rings off until it was like 15 ft high lagged it down to a trailer then moved it and put the rings back on it.
That Big Bud and you guys deserve a like new Air-Ride seat from a sermi-tractor with the hours you guys log in that cab !! Just treat yourselves to some well deserved comfort !!
Glad you are all safe. Maybe you could find a wench with some kind of locking mechanism (or add one on) to prevent it from falling if that happens again. Have a good one guys! Wiggle's dog was a adorable.
Nick - a lot of engineers out there (I am one myself) are actually saying, "oh yes, that's how you do it when you need to get something done." So the winch failed, not the home made crane arm. Looks like a good tool to me!
Glad to hear everyone is doing well! Some great camera angles in this episode. Wouldn't 500 horse in the series 1 put other parts at risk of breaking? Take care and God bless!
The N14 "Red Head" engines are very good. Last of the 855 cubic inch engines, but probably the best. If your cummins is down on power it might need a 'hot-set' valve lash adjustment......or it has a boost leak,intercoolers are famous for cracks that leak, even in tractors.
I did ask google translate to change it in chocolate letters. So we can eat it to. Good luck boys. It"s alright. Winter is coming soon. Hang on. btw. Dan or Lisa could"ve read it :)
You guys were about a month ahead of the game. To do it Montana/Welker style you could have had a bin drop instead of a ball drop for new years eve! All joking aside I am very grateful no one got hurt and at the end of the day that is what counts. God bless and be safe!
Also this mystical text about you "backed up the butt with the crane against the bin" at 18:51. You have to consider how much you can eat for Christmas to be ready for Beach 2022, Nick!
We moved a 24k bu bin using a semi rim in through the top. In hind site prolly not the best idea. But we had moved many 10k bu bins that way so we made it work
Their needs to be a manual axillary brake system on that winch for safety reasons, as well as taking the pressure off the winch. They are made to pull 12 tons, not lift and hold.
Many years ago we used a similar approach to put the roofs on new grain bins. We could assemble the roof on the ground instead of 30 - 40 ft in the air. The crane was mounted on a truck.
I hope you put some blocking under the lower bin ring when Leg Arms crawled underneath to get out from inside the bin because that winch could have failed at any time and the results could have been DEADLY.
We bought a bin crane years ago to put bins on hopper bottoms. Rented it to people to build bins but had to quit because of the insurance requirements even if we didn’t charge for it.
Great video . Sometimes stuff just happens. Love the way you guys deal with it all. Question for you, Fertilizer prices here in Australia are going up. Urea is in short supply which is a worry but the biggest worry is for DEF or AdBlue as we call it. There was a report on the news yesterday that Australia will run out of DEF by the end of January. That means half our trucking fleet will be shut down, farmers running newer equipment will be shut down, backup generators at hospitals and the like wont work etc. Is this the same in USA or is it only us? Would appreciate your thoughts
Tire Ballast is critical to any piece of equipment. Water weights 8.3 pounds per gallon. The Rim Guard I sell weights 11 pound per gallon. Won't rust and won't freeze till -35F. The best tire ballast available.
See this on a daily basis, farmer not paying attention to basis safety practices. Simple a have taglines on the bin would stop the swing. If the winch would have dropped while the worker crawled out from inside the bin, you would most likely having to explain to a family how much fun you had holding him as he died
@@WelkerFarms I really enjoy all your videos...what makes that funny is i work on a farm all day just up the road from you guys in Southern Alberta..the farm i work on is also run by dad and his three sons- almost spittin image from your operation!!
One failure in how many bin moves? Not bad at all. Things where going too well on this move. It had to happen. Hope the crew / family and you are doing well. Be safe and take care. God Bless. PS missed Bob's puns....
Man if they had the same kinda wind Tuesday night/Wednesday morning that we had north of the 49, that bin will be in North Dakota or Saskatchewan now. We had 80mph and a lot of damage on things that were tied down.
Well, luckily no one was hurt. This is one of the reasons that winches designed for lifting have a different brake mechanism. If you read carefully, most winches are rated for pulling, not overhead lifting. One thing that makes me a little nervous on your bin boom are the support cables. I don't know the size of your wire rope, but I'm almost certain that you don't have the right number of clips on there to let the rope support the optimum load, and I can't tell if the orientation of clips is right. This could greatly reduce the load capacity of those cables, and would be a relatively easy fix. I would suggest you look up the right number and orientation of clips and make that small fix.
They are 1/2" wire rope breaking strength at over 21,000 lbs. 3 sets of clips on each end. As far as the lifting capacity a German engineering student contacted us. His computations determined we were way under the lifting capacity. Weakest link was the winch.
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob Excellent, that sounds right. I just couldn't see enough details in the video, and thought it looked like there was only one clip on each end of the static boom support cables.
Just a thought, there is a difference between a winch and a hoist, main difference is the ability to hold a suspended load. Don't know if that will help on why the fail
As a kid there was a crew building a 5000 bu bin. Using central pipe/winch/collar (like your tire) first time I saw corded impact tools. Dad got upset. Guys going in/out of bin as being lifted. He told them. “Nobody goes in/out UNLESS every sheet but one fastened. So if winch fails nobody hurt…” Next row put on. Guy inside cranking it up. Worker slides under edge, dad starts to yell. Noise, BOOM as bin hits cement. Cuts power cord. Guy who rolled out dang near passed out. Not 6 seconds later it would have killed him. I climbed held ladder to manhole, lower lunch, water to guys inside while 3-4 outside A frame jacks located, brought home. Decades later I mentioned to crew leader unsafe actions I observed. “But it’s your crew”. 2 hours later they hauled guy to ER 15 staples.
Glad to see the pad being poured for the new bin. Also glad to see you being able to repurpose those on the hoppers. We’re you able to get the used bins you mentioned that you wanted to put up as well? Hopefully, next year you will need them!
Got to be a way to put suspension bogie wheels on that Case skidsteer, my bobcat has suspension on the tracks, I can go down the railroad tracks wide open like riding on a cloud.
It's only a 5000lbs static load... when driving the up and down of the tractor could easily be tripling the dynamic load.... Which is why a lock out on the wire/wench would probably be a good idea for when the bud is moving with the load.
The Bud with the bin boom reminds me of a scorpion walking along. Coincidentally, the only scorpion in Montana has scientific name starting with a "B" (boreus).
I'm impressed with Leg Arm's backwards driving skills on the road in that loader. I know I'd be going much slower than he was if I were to attempt that. Also, watching you guys hooking up that crane made me wonder. When in the process of pushing it up, have you ever come close to pushing it too far and sending it over onto the tractor? I mean, I figure it hasn't ever happened, but has it gotten close enough to at least make you nervous?
back in up in a open area isn't that hard just have your wheel straight and hold it straight when loading round bales in a field I always go full throttle backwards and I hit the reverse speed limiter of 30KM/H
Think about this.......Just a few minutes before, Leg Arms had to have crawled or maybe walked out from under the bin, remember the door being bolted closed with him inside??? This is why we say NEVER get under a suspended load EVER, yet so many people think, "it will never happen to me!"
반갑습니다. 영상잘보고갑니다 오늘도 편안하고 행복한 하루되십시요
Two thumbs up for Brad a.k.a. Wiggles. Glad nobody got hurt with the bin drop. The struggle continues for bin moving.
1-3/4 😄
It was likely the bouncing of moving the bin that was shock loading the splines causing the failure, not the static weight of lifting it. So this is also a very good example of why you don't use your winch to hold down anything to a trailer or use the winch on a vehicle to hold it to a trailer.

Tell that to wrecker drivers. They don't use anything but their winch.
@@TheMetalButcher Thats why I avoid following them at all costs.
@@BlueDually4x4 Same. Wrecker drivers around me are the most reckless drivers on the road.
@@TheMetalButcher every accident they encounter they earn money. If the car behind them crashes, they're the ones to encounter the accident...
@@TheMetalButcher good drivers use safety chains
The good Lord had his hand on y’all! That could have been bad if y’all had been around it! Glad y’all are safe and little damage was done! God bless!

Thank you Joop! I was having pun withdrawal!!
Now I'm receiving pun- ishment....... 😁 Honestly watching this vid 'lifted' my spirits until the fall....... But that's the breaks........ 😁
That was very punny…but not as pun-ishing as Bob’s! 😂😂😂
The boys will have to use their crane-iums to fix this situation

Thank God all of you AND Merle were clear when it fell! Merle is absolutely adorable! Wonder if Wiggles will train him to detect rattle snakes?
Glad you were not inside the bin that would have rung your ears for a bit glad no one was hurt you guys are awesome
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
So glad none of you were next to that bin when it fell down. God was looking out for all of you. Sorry the winch failed. Bad deal. Believe you are right in getting a new one and not trying to repair the old one.

i thought he is getting a new winch not just a shaft.
They're not rebuilding the old one. Clearly stated that they are buying new.
Glad all of you are ok. So dangerous lifting heavy awkward steel
Gread vid shot of the Big Bud rolling over. American iron getting it done decades after it was made
Lots of verticle snap multipling the load on the cable n winch wh3n moving across even just slightly bumpy ground. Boom length n flex multiple the snap load

Tell LegArms that the Clutch doesn't stop the tractor... You may want to introduce him to the Brakes!!!
Hopefully the weather holds out till you get that bin up on the hopperr bottom. Thanks.
So thankful no one got hurt. That is one of those jobs you have to be close to the work but that is dangerous.

That’s the terrible thing. I used to rent A frames. Toward end I would buy them as scrap metal. Few weeks later sell them back a few bucks cheaper.
Hope you guys spent time with the family on those last nice days of the year. Stay safe and healthy.
That Bud is my favorite one, it's got a look about it that's just really appealing
I hope you guys get her done good luck and be safe
Very glad no one was heart . and yes God was with you .
Got my hats today. They are even better than I had hoped they would be.
Awesome, glad to hear it!

Question for you, Fertilizer prices here in Australia are going up. Urea is in short supply which is a worry but the biggest worry is for DEF or AdBlue as we call it.
There was a report on the news yesterday that Australia will run out of DEF by the end of January. That means half our trucking fleet will be shut down, farmers running newer equipment will be shut down, backup generators at hospitals and the like wont work etc.
Is this the same in USA or is it only us?
Would appreciate your thoughts
Have not hears of a looming Def shortage here. But with the current policies I would not be surprise
No shortage here in Canada that I have read about..
Hey guys. I'm in Missoula and my son's in Havre. Do you ever let visitors stop by?
Would love to see all the buds in person.
I'll ask
Tell us at least if they are as friendly as they look like. If you . . . :) Lucky Luke!

Got to be a way to put suspension bogie wheels on that Case skidsteer, my bobcat has suspension on the tracks, I can go down the railroad tracks wide open like riding on a cloud.
Watch out for the light at the end of the tunnel!
It's only a 5000lbs static load... when driving the up and down of the tractor could easily be tripling the dynamic load....
Which is why a lock out on the wire/wench would probably be a good idea for when the bud is moving with the load.
The Bud with the bin boom reminds me of a scorpion walking along. Coincidentally, the only scorpion in Montana has scientific name starting with a "B" (boreus).
Nice looking German Wirehaired Pointer!
Good to see Brad. Beautiful dog. Stay safe everyone
Roberts Receptacle Relocator is not as catchy... Good to see no one got hurt. That is the most important thing..
Never get tired of seeing a Big Bud move.
In the 70"s we had a Cat 950 loader which sounded a bit simular as that 435 BB. Indeed, never get tired of hear that roar.
I'm impressed with Leg Arm's backwards driving skills on the road in that loader. I know I'd be going much slower than he was if I were to attempt that. Also, watching you guys hooking up that crane made me wonder. When in the process of pushing it up, have you ever come close to pushing it too far and sending it over onto the tractor? I mean, I figure it hasn't ever happened, but has it gotten close enough to at least make you nervous?
Wheb in saw that i tought the video was playing backwards.
back in up in a open area isn't that hard just have your wheel straight and hold it straight when loading round bales in a field I always go full throttle backwards and I hit the reverse speed limiter of 30KM/H

The steering is the same backwards and forwards do it wouldn't be all that squirrely
The jib is still overhanging the boom so it still wanting to fall back down
Glad everyone is safe and sound. Thanks to the Welkers for the amazing content. God Bless to the entire Welker Family!
Think about this.......Just a few minutes before, Leg Arms had to have crawled or maybe walked out from under the bin, remember the door being bolted closed with him inside??? This is why we say NEVER get under a suspended load EVER, yet so many people think, "it will never happen to me!"
Yep. Only happens to victims. And in a half second, it is done..
