OTHER COOL LINKS FOR YA:
Who does your drone footage? Wife? One thing I noticed is your tensioner is completely bottomed out on the eye bolt. Why wouldn't you loosen the eye bolt and remove an additional link from the chain to allow more adjustment down the road? The next time the chain needed to be tightened up all you'd have to do is tighten the bolt on the eye bolt to increase the tension.
I agree with ya there....later on when I'm not in a pinch to get this hay off the ground I'll spend the needed time to do the job right for sure....oh...and as for drone footage...it's all me brotha....I'm flying and baling ...nobody else has ever flown the drone for me.....it would be nice ...but I don't have the money to pay someone for "farm help" right now
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer maybe do a farm internship? Check with local high schools ag programs for "volunteers" shoot when i was in school the entire ball team would go throw square bales, go help repair barns, lol we was more a community service team than a football team lol
Lance....it's funny man...You'd think you could just give a guy a camera and have him follow ya..or have some young man/woman come to the farm and help out...the long and short of it is that people don't know how to work with their hands anymore...I've had some paid help here on the farm and there's just a poor safety awareness...dangerous having folks on the farm helping....unfortunately most..not all...young people these days are too busy pushing buttons on a computer to get their hands dirty...need a guy thats about 25-30 years old that's got himself squared away....tough to find in this day and age...a ranch hand is hard to come by
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer i understand, on our family dairy farm its hard to find a reliable milker, such a simple task can cause the somatic cell to become high and ruin the milk. Im a stay at home dad for now my wife is a nurse lead of cardiology, the cath, rehab and all that, if i lived closer buddy i would love to come help out. Im only about 2-3 hours away, but 3 kids is pretty time consuming lol. My boy who is 3 years old had epilepsy and thats pretty hard at time. God bless Josh stay safe on the farm!
A lot of videos I watch of other videos are really boring and have 10 minute “intros” ,but not you. Your content is really good and you always are very entertaining and nice to everyone so thank you for being a nice and cool youtuber, farmer and man in general.
Thanks Henry...I work really hard at it...I also watch my vids about 5 times before publishing to see it I get bored watching....it's most certainly easier to just "plop" out a video...but I think making them interesting is the way to go!
YES!!!!Same chain tool that we have with our GE 250Kw SW transmitter for the tune drive chains.Have had to do what you are doing---but lying down on the transmitter floor on your stomach.The coil chains and cap drive chains at the bottom of the final RF amp cavity just above the floor.also have bulk chain on rolls-sometimes easier to replace the whole chain from the roll than removing links and splicing.The air from the main blower blows up thru here and the chain collects all kinds of dirt and dust.Who says electronics is clean?This is the dirty part of it.
I made a chain link grabber out of needle nose vice grip and carved out round groves on each side ( inside ) to help hold the chain and a-line the chain to accept the master link . It works on all chain except the small 20 and 25 Chinese ATV chain. You made a point about the tension pulling the studs on the master apart !
Josh thanks for another 101 Farm Lesson. I also want to thank the other viewers that added other helpful hints. Good luck baling.
So cool to learn new things about farming and keeping the equipment running! Say hello to Mrs. Stoney Ridge for me! From a hopefully future retirement farmer!
Never knew you could do this. Learn something new every day. Haha.
Glad to ablidge brotha
Always keep a small tool box on the tractor/farm truck will really cut back on the trips to the shop. I really like that you don't get to upset about things breaking.
Yep...things break...lessons learned...and lessons learned on making repairs...all part of the farm life right!
nice video Josh, I always wondered how you repair chains anyway... Thanks
Beautiful , that went smoooooth Josh.
Thanks Matt
I need to repair the drive chain that broke on my DR Brusher. You did that repair pretty slick. I just need to hunt down the tool, get a correct sized master link, and get the DR cuttin again.. Giddy up!
Yessir...a couple hour job and you'll have it done!
Great video- Love your attitude Josh! I was thinking to myself, "i would have dropped that chain key piece by now, never to find it again!" when -boop! you dropped it! Love that you film all the good and bad that comes your way. RIP to Mr. Clyde too. Would love to have met him.
Thanks Mike
Same here. I'm a millwright so I work on chains a lot and knowing I'm a bit of a butterfinger and how easy dropped parts seem to vanish I always grab 2 master links. ;)
I was thinking you shouldn't have put that chain under tension until you finished that master link. All well gotter done anyway. That is something I would do. God bless
I love stoney ridge! Always super informative videos for amateurs that want to start owning and running there own farm!!!!!!
Thanks Gavin
Been fun to see u working a few minutes more during golden hour get a good glimpse of the sunsets in fall..was great to follow through on repair though I was wondering about it ...ty so much for sharing your time...😎😋😎
Nice one Josh. Easy fix and away you go. But only when have the right tools 🛠👍🏻
Thanks for the video homeboy
Good video Mr. Josh. If I may give a suggestion or two. For big guys like yourself this may not matter but for we weaker people; the idler gear can be loosened by backing the springs torchen bolt off. That'll also make the rest a bit easier too. With my baler, the chains get oiled once a day. Used motor oil works perfect. Happy baleing!
Thanks for the tip my friend
Good, Fast, Cheap - You can only pick two.
It is amazing on how many things and decisions this applies to. What I find even more interesting is how people critique other people on their implementation of the decision.
A Cheap - Fast repair is what seems like checked the boxes of importance to you for this one. It needs to hold together long enough to get the hay off the field and then go though additional repairs in the off season.
In my mind, no one but you can weigh all the factors that impact and influence your decision.
Great job on getting backup and running. :)
That was neat to watch thanks Josh
Thanks for your videos you are very helpful
Great video Josh have a great day and keep up your good work with the farm and RUclips. God bless you brother
Hi Josh Nice video with good information, but you forgot to mention something important ! the closed end of the spring clip goes in the direction of travel. It is not as important in a closed environment as inside your baler, but VERY important where something can brush up against a chain out in the open !
Yessir! Thanks one other fella mentioned that above...very good point for sure
Well done Josh
Enjoyed that fix !!
Bailer bailed out now workin on the chain gang Gotta hand it to those that invent these specialized tools
Great how to video. Have you ever thought about making a music play list based on what you are listening to with your new Hearing protection.
Great video Josh thanks
Nice! Finally be able to get that hay up! 👍
Nice repair.
just good clean informative video, good job josh, thanks for sharing👍👍👍
I agree with JK, you need release the spring tension on idler pulley. I would take another link out of chain. On tensioner unscrew that althread to within 1" from the end (right side of the allthread). Then adjust tensioner pulley to left side of chain.
When I was a teenager, I would always use a grinder to grind the rivet off. Then I would use a screwdriver to pry the link off. Your method looks a little quicker and easier.
Josh if you loosen the bolt that pulls the spring before you remove links then you will have an easier time installing the master link and you will have more tensioner for future stretch in the chain!
Thank you sir
You could use a bit of bailing twine, seeing your on a bailer to help get the 2 parts together(as an extra hand) also holds a bit of slack to get the locking link on.
You can also use a grinder to grind the "head" off of the pins on those links. That's how I learned to do it.
Made that look easy wit just one person
The spring on your tensioner is run all the way in. You should back off the nut and remove another link. That way you'll get even better tension and when the chain stretches again you can just tighten the spring to take out the slack.
I agree...I'll do it right once I get this job done...You are right...it needs to be done...I gotta go through the baler and check it over good before I use it again
Great how-to video 🤠
Thanks Brotha!
Great video bud
Nice job!
That fine for quick bush fix but old stretched out chains are going to wear your sprockets out . Replace those chains with new ones so they fit the sprockets properly .
Excellent I told him the same thing he will have a incorrect angle between chain and sprocket due to stretch. Wear out those sprockets quickly!
Grandpa had several tractors and farm machines....Grandpa's barn looked like a farm garage complete with spare parts and tools....grandpa spent as much time in the barn on a tractor as he did in the field on a tractor.....such is the life of farmers....
Oh Grandpa...good stuff....man I'm beginning
Didn't see a comment, but a chain puller tool can act as a spare hand, it goes between the rollers and you tighten it up to pull the chain together, there a life saver.
You need a " roller chain puller" , it's a set of fingers that pull the chain together. The master links that use cotter pins are stronger and easier to install than ones with the clip. In a perfect world, replacing the chain is a better option, as the chain is stretched and almost shot.
Can't wait to see a Stoney Ridge turtle
Wow. A relatively painless repair. Most of mine don't go that simple, even when I know what I'm doing.
Josh, you are demonstrating that old saying, "Make hay while the sun shines".
Oh yea!
Man that's a big chain. I used to think the 530 on my Harley was big. I'd hate to have to replace that whole chain. They'll only 'stretch' so far. Taking out links is a stop gap repair for now. You should get another season or 2 out of it but it is nearing end of serviceability.
I did the same thing on a motorcycle chain. I didn't know the breaker would do its job without grinding the peened end down first. Wish I knew that back then.
Hopefully this will help some folks out when something like this happens to them
Check and Grease them bearings! We had a silage special catch fire from a bad bearing
Yessir...so most of them are sealed bearings on this baler but I've heard of them catching fire with bad bearings...I make it a habit to check the bearing temps with my hand when I stop for any reason.....most of the time and especially if I suspect something
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer it was wild for sure! That was the day i learned NOT to let a bale out if the baler is on fire... live and learn i rekon, it was a sight to see round bale a blaze and rolling down the hill, i was very lucky the creek was at the bottom. Great video Josh! God bless brother stay safe!
Thanks for the tip!! Does the chain require lube/oil? Never worked on a baler before.
Yes..I use a thick spray gel lube on mine but you can just use motor oil to keep them lubed...all sorts of schools of thought on chain lube out there
Thanks! Learn something new every day.
That chain break tool looks a bit easier to use than mine. Who makes that one? Make sure your master link key is going the correct direction. The open end should face backwards so that it cant hit something and pop off. :)
Great tip about the key...thanks...I'll double check mine! We all stand to learn something from each other for sure!
Happy to help :)
Excellent video~Just my thoughts that chain is junk replace it it is all stretched out~you are going to wear the sprockets out due to the incorrect angle of chain to sprocket teeth. I would also replace that spring it may be weak.
First step is to back off your idler adjustment.
But is Sudan grass good for cow grazing or is there a better grass
Would you recommend Sudan grass over bramuda or coastal or other grasses for cattle grazing
I would sow fescue.It is much cheaper than Bermuda.but you can’t graze horses on fescue
I won't tell the horses around here you said that..they might starve to death lol
Dont forget to put master link clips closed end towards the direction of rotation. Or it will go bye bye..
Didn't you only remove one link?
You removed two links.
You put in a new master link.
Hence, one link removed...
Not complaining - I'm just clarifying. And happy that went so.smoothly for you.
master link plus two links = 3. He removes two links. He didn't add a master link he just reinstalled it.
OOOhhh....let's get philosophical.....so prior to disassembly the chain had a master link in place....I put in a new master link..which only replaced a link...then removed 2 links...thus 2 links were removed and the old master link replaced....in review:
1. Replaced Old master link (no change in chain length)
2. Removed 2 links (2 links out)
3. Re-assembled with 2 fewer links
Watch Sunday's video and you'll see the bad master link I replaced 😜
Oh. I thought the replacement master today replaced the one you pulled off this weekend. (I watch ALL the farm blogs)
How much did your baler cost ? What can some one expect to pay
My chain break tool is a grinder
👌👍
I miss the baling videos but understand if it’s not worth it to you
might be helping my hay guy later this year! I love cutting and baling hay!
We want to see burnouts with the Grand National.
you just made 35 snow flakes smarter
Technically you removed 2 links, (one connecting and one roller) next time you may have to install a offset link or what we call a half link... also when replacing a roller chain don't go by the measurement...... count the rollers......
Yep...2 links were removed brotha....look down through the comments...there's several folks saying I only removed 1 link...then some saying I removed 3....but I pulled 2...probably should have pulled 4...but you're right there ain't no pulling 3 links!
Look on JD parts and see what the correct size and number of links is supposed to be. Who know what has been done in the past to that baler.
Bro no adds cuz it ain't over 10 mins or somethin like that bro I want you to get adds homeboy
100% wrong way to do it !! Next video you'll be replacing the bearing under the sprocket the tension pulley spring and the whole chain.I give it 5-10 hours before it breaks and you drop the chain......
Got into some aggravation with those chains on our old new holland baler! Learned fast to keep every size master link close by haha it has about 3 sizes of chains
Now that is a pain....lots of moving parts in a baler...easy to get behind on the maintenance
