Been there did that repair, except a manure spreader in January and it was not near as clean as this spreader. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! When I worked for John Deere the manure spreader was the only equipment they would not stand behind!😁

Nice move there helper! Running and jumping up into the spreader. I remember being that nimble,

I guess it's cleaner to work on a wood chip spreader than a manure spreader 😁 Great job 💪

When we ran similar chains on silage wagons it took regular maintenance so this was minimized. Stay safe.

Interesting and relatively simple way to dump product. Thanks again for showing us how the job went and how the machines work.

I just repaired a manure spreader that used the same kind of setup. The "maintenance guy" was proud because he removed a few links to "fix" a problem. I'm there every few weeks because of his "fixes" and he doesn't grease anything. Great job!

This is why I like your channel.. Every time it’s something new..

Talk about rinse and repeat, good job, thanks for sharing

Hi, and again, a nice job done, thanks for sending this. What allways amazes me is the vastness of the land ! I do come from a corner of the world, where all you can see is the next tall mountain, and beyond that, u guess... over at yours: laaaand maaan, till the horizon...

Just came to comment that your videos are awesome, and I learn a lot from them. Thank you!

That's great Aaron, work bubby. You and tazman are amazing individuals for helping out people who need it. Good to see all you both do for whom are indeed. Always guys be safe. See you on the next 1.

Thank you for sharing,another great project with the dream team 👍👍👍👍

*On Fire Welding* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

As always, nice work, efficiently done! Thanks for another great video, Greg!

I get deeper cuts and much faster cutting edge speed converting all my cordless 4-1/2 grinders to 6" guards either by buying the larger guard (DeWalt uses different inside "lumps" I guess to prevent production interchange, they grind right off with a die grinder!) or cutting the center out of any stray 6" guard then welding that to the removed center of the stock 4-1/2" guard. I keep the guards on for the big disks for obvious reasons (like having ten fingers) and it works a treat. I've cut truck axles (the axle, not just the housing) with the larger thin kerf 6" discs which last much longer and wear down to small disc size so ya can use them like the baby cutting discs later on if the size matters or ya need the small OD for close work. 6" cutting discs are nicer for long sheet metal cuts because they cut faster (edge speed) and take longer to wear out. Since cutting uses a light touch it hasn't hurt any of my grinders.

Made some money, and got dusty, Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍

You use "fast forward" more effectively than many I've seen and yet you still show the whole process. A closeup of one or two in full process would have been nice. I enjoy seeing your "apprentice" do his part. He seems to adapt pretty well. Keep em comin!!!!!!

I would say mission accomplished. Well done for what had to work with and customer request.. Thanks for sharing..

i really enjoy watching all the different things you repair

A job well done, on fire welding doing what they do best

I've never thought about using a manure spreader to spread wood chips.🤔

It’s cool to see an apprentice at work as I am one myself. I love wrenching

This why I love CA…3hrs you’re in plains/farm land 3hrs you’re in the Mojave desert 2hrs you’re at the beach 2hrs you’re at mountains. For me anyways.

Great job! Guys! 👌👌

Real mechanics... A Dying breed.

Didn’t know this even existed. Great work as usual and thanks for the video!

Nice job having the crane is a big plus

Помошник,у тебя толковый.

4👍's up on fire welding thank you for sharing 😎

Great work as always.

Jack of all trades master of them all 👍👍👍

Please talk about the places you are working at and what industries they are.

Wild that you can just fix stuff🤷‍♂️

cow chips ??? great to see every thing you are up to Greg, Paul in Florida....

laughing l have the same type of spreader system on my manure spreader too i have found that changing out the chains every couple of years less trouble you going to have with it i do still have Bent bar too I have a neighbour who does buys the chin from me he has the same on one i have he did buy it from me

Great job,looks great as per usual

Interesting job a little mundane but interesting. You got good content… I like it. Looks very dry there!

Alright!! Here we go!! Learning so much from your channel! Cheers! Full Steam Ahead!;-)!

Why are they spreading chips over such a huge area? Wind erosion protection? Trying to improve the dirt quality?

I hope those people pay you what you are worth. Your rig alone is worth the price of admission.

The tires/rim would look awesome on a 4x4 truck,! A Chevy with a 500 HP Cummins and a manual 6 speed transmission, and just enough lift, with compound turbos! 😆✌️

Olá amigos muito bom trabalho, não conhecia esta máquina ainda, bastante interessante!!! Boa sorte sempre amigos!!!

It went BOOM

13:36 the squeaky wheel gets the grease

I have a live bottom “chip” spreader, but am spreading livestock chips. Surprised no one wants the waste for cogeneration, but I guess the zip code rules that out

Why would people be spreading wood chips in the desert? Do they have a woodchuck as a pet?

its the same set up as some muck spreaders and the same issues happen with them as well

Seems like a pretty massive land project going on out there. Whats that going to be in the end

i think people call this style of trailer a - 'walking floor' trailer :)

Yet another contraption that I have never seen before 😂

Wood chips or any plant matter turns into soil, very good soil, dirt and in this situation it's a win for the farmers as they didn't have to pay to get rid of it.. They surely didn't invest in all their machines to accomplish this task for fun, right? As to chain repairs versus replacing them I'd think it comes down this long the chains last when repaired versus you fixing them as close to new or usable as possible. Only the Farmer knows what's best. Lastly, you had a fairly easy job in which your paid well. Most farmers that Attempt to do their own repairs end up making everything Worse!!! I've witnessed that first hand. Never buy a fat ears old p u truck, trust me 😭 ❤️..

Sorry, another good job though guys.

3:16 - A dangerous place to have a face, assuming it is a standard abrasive cut off wheel.

I was wondering where you guys went because I had not seen a notice of a new video in a while. The I found out youtube unsubscribed from you guys

What do you think of the Multimatic 220? Have been looking at getting one to run off of a Trailblazer

I know wood doesn't weigh that much. But what is your thoughts on Teflon Floor liners.

Simple is better! What do they do with acres mulch is spread on? Curious. See little trees???? In background

I'd encourage your helper to lose the strings from his hoodie, so sense in them dangling towards moving things.

What are the wood chips used for?

As someone who works with several chain drive conveyors, why repair the worn out chain rather than have a factory replacement on hand? Less downtime, and I'd expect the manufacturer to stock wear items such as these chains.

nice vise

Hey love the content keep doing your thing. I have a suggestion though regarding the end of your videos. Sometimes I don't have enough time to like them because they end so fast. Maybe if you did some kind of an out trough so people have enough time for that. I know likes are important to chanel. Just a suggestion thanks again.

Great job with a lot of repetition.

Jeepers looks like yer working on the moon rather than mother earth….

Do you keep the scrap metal?

When chains like that break, the operator should see it right away, because the cross bars would start coming around the front crooked. Operator wasn't paying attention.

Pozdro Z EUROPY😊

👍🏻

Is that in Firebaugh????

asphalt pavers work similar to that lol

Surprised they didn't get you to change all the bent bars on the other chain? They must be wearing out that plastic slide area extra fast. Must be cheaper to replace it instead.

Why do they spread woodchips out for ?

So, the back side doesn't get welded?

Spreading chips with a manure spreader. I guess why not.

It looks like the chain is installed pulling the wrong direction.

Why would you spread wood chippings in a field?

Seems like it would have been a whole lot easier to first pull the individual chain strands into the spreader rather than the still attached section. Otherwise well done.

Why are they spreading wood chips? Isn't it a fire hazard?

Sounded like it had no grease at the beginning

Those things look like they are massively abused, that sucks guys 😊

Boop

As a better design, I would try a big auger running down horizontally the length of the trailer with some support bearings evenly spred along...Seems that the manufacturer has put in some thoughts anyway with the teflon (?) coating on the bottom... Nice job on that tediuos repair, wrangling all that weight that the chains surely make... 👍👍👍

Hand feeding the chain instead of holding the camera might of saved your partner from falling on his face. But hey. This is You Tube.

Why not just find another one down the road a piece and swipe it. Leave the broken one there? Who's gonna know?

👍🥵💪👏👋🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

Grrrr...6 (or 7) tooth sprocket is common but utterly stupid design on these live bottom systems. Each sprocket tooth causes a 13.4% speed variation and when you have many tons of product being yanked by that chain, that constant speed cycling hammers the chain (especially the pins) and cross bars. Welding the cross bars solid to the chains is also really poor but common design. Those 2 chains are NEVER the same length due to uneven wear patterns so the chains end up fighting each other through the cross bars and usually break welds due to stress fatigue from that--so people make heavier welds to compensate and it tears other things up like the chain sidebars being torn off the chain pins. (9.9% speed variation with each tooth when using 7 tooth sprockets) Add that to people putting a new belt on without changing the old sprockets. Od sprockets will cause a new chain to wear quickly to match the old worn sprocket teeth so should be changed out whenever a new chain goes on. It's one of those "everybody does it this way" things that is terribly bad practice and design: A design where engineers who copycat these mistakes should get a kick in the ass with a steel-toed size 13 boot and maybe they'll eventually learn. If you ever get suckered into changing that white UHMW polyethylene sheet used for a low friction floor, it really should be black material in that climate. White is not UV resistant and its life can be shortened due to that.

Patching that pintle chain is a waste, time to spring for all new and be done with it for a while
