How's Your Day Going??? Broken Auger Repair
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 ноя 2022
- Chicken house repairs are a never ending job. Most of the time things break during the flock, at all hours of the day or night. We try and do some of the bigger maintenance projects between flocks in hopes that it cuts down on the "tear ups" while we have chickens. Nobody likes a 2 AM repair job on a Friday night! In this video, we started to replace a fill system auger pipe that had a small hole but then it turned into a much bigger project!

Beautiful glad u have a friend who can help u. Gadsden guy because I don't have a friend to help always.
It definitely makes life a lot easier having someone to call on for help or watch after things if I need to be away for a bit. Hope all is well in Gadsden
I worked with my my brother [n his feed handling and milking equipment business................ A lot of Chicken houses Hog Parlors and Dairys used that Shaftless auger and flat feeder chain..... Now that I think about it that was 40 years ago.....................
As chicken farmer myself I’ve had my share fair of those. Keep farming boys
Thanks! Hopefully this one will be good to go for a while
Never a boring day or night on the farm
Yep! You just never know around here what's going to happen next.
This is the repair I hate the most. We used to have these break all the time. We figured out if we lengthen the auger they stopped breaking. You can hardly hear the auger running when empty now. Used to it would sound like the pipe was gonna fly apart. I also use a crowbar wedged in the housing below the bin along with the vicegrips to help lock the auger down. We've had one slip before just using the vice grips.
Thanks for the tip! We have one that broke a couple times in a short amount of time. It just floats now on the end and doesn’t have a bearing. So far it works great. All the others still have the bearing but I may go a little longer next time I have one break
How much do you guys extend it? Also what rpm does your motor run. We're having the same issue with breaks and the pipe sounds like it's gonna break and knock someone down😅😅. We don't have the bottom bearing and our Auger is just spinning inside the PVC pipe.
Love this video buddy and hope you are having a blessed day
Thank you! Same to you!
Glad y’all were able to take care of business.
Hopefully it’ll be good to go for a while!

Yeah that job sucks on a good day. Much less on a rainy night.
Oh yeah, luckily this one was done in the middle of the day
