Chinese skid steer vibrating roller diagnosis - Smoking problem. Part 1

[@travisjames2759]

Thank you for this video, just pulled mine apart and found the damaged coupler.

[@RickRossTN]

I have just received an email reply from Agrotk admitting the truth! "Yes, we have had dozens of customers experience the same problem. It's a flaw in our machine design. " It's time for them to become accountable for this design flaw. It has cost most of us thousands of dollars each. Unacceptable!

[@joeland3492]

In the same boat as you admitted the part is bad and is discontinuing it.they hacked my email and erased all my messages from them if I was you I would copy your correspondence with them.

[@Cowboy-kitty]

So you have pt. 2 up yet?

[@blakewatson3221]

What is the part number of the lovejoy?

[@martingutierrez8003]

Do you still have the chinese roller? I have bought one and it broke the love joy within couple hours, please let me know if you found a way to make it work. Thanks for your time!

[@RickRossTN]

I have the exact same problem, and it seems many others do as well. IMO, this should be grounds for a class action complaint against Agrotk and Ritchie Brothers. This product is failing by design, yet they continue to sell it and rip off more unsuspecting buyers!

[@joeland3492]

I'm thinking the same as you but I went through my emails with them they hacked my email and deleted them all

[@jacobarens1459]

I'm on board with this guy.

[@cg8469]

Bro what??? You're buying a $15k piece of equipment for $1500 at an auction sold with no implied warranty.

[@davidcollins240]

Have you tried spinning the shaft by hand mine is very rough sounding and feeling

[@RickRossTN]

Mine is super-rough sounding, too. I'm starting to think that the failure of this connecting assembly near the motor is actually due to unacceptable resistance somewhere in the counter-weighted axle inside the drum. Maybe the Lovejoy-style connector isn't really the problem, but rather just the observable point of failure after something else causes too much strain and stress? Is anyone else noticing a very rough sound from inside the roller before this connecting assembly smokes and fails?

[@BrettsBuilds]

@@RickRossTN I have a greatbear vibrator and it lasted 5 minutes working great. Now it spools up, but feels as if its grinding on something and stops. Puts a lot of strain on my hydraulic system when it does this.

[@emmettmeister2351]

Do you have any updates? Mine also does the same thing.

[@davidcollins240]

Did that fix the roller

[@tonypardini7328]

Dealing with same issue. The outside diameter of spline adaptor is too small, it needs to make contact with Love Joy at mounting bolts.

[@HungNguyen91622]

Yo did you ever put this back together?

[@fabricobbler]

I have the same unit, same problem. do you have the part # of the rubber spider?

[@benpoguebp]

Yes I do, it did the same exact thing though. Thinking is a bent motor, checking it next

[@benpoguebp]

Lovejoy 68514438814 it was $147

[@jayherron8871]

I have the same roller with the same problem. Hoping you guys find a solution. Has anyone looked at the parts from a different Chinese rollers to see if there is a better design that might work on ours?

[@benpoguebp]

I'm thinking about a belt drive setup

[@TheBattleBranchBoys]

How does the roller work now?

[@benpoguebp]

Did the same thing, I need to pull it back in and diagnose more

[@TheBattleBranchBoys]

@@benpoguebp oh great. I just bought mine two weeks ago. It lasted 10 mins.

[@benpoguebp]

@@TheBattleBranchBoys I'm wonder if the motor shaft is bent. next chance I get I'll check

[@joebono6175]

Did you ever get this fixed. And how long did it last

[@benpoguebp]

@@joebono6175 it lasted about 1 minute until it did the same thing. I bet it's just too much for the lovejoy

[@sebastianflores-qy9jd]

Just got the same roller and it stopped working after 5 min.

[@Jason-fb5vu]

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with it? I have one doing the same thing since new.

[@benpoguebp]

No it's needing to be re-engineered. Working on that now

[@jacobarens1459]

Mine didnt last 10 hours. Completely shit out.

[@sebastianflores-qy9jd]

Don't buy this roller still waiting on dealer to send me Parts it's been about 2 weeks.

[@KarasCyborg]

I bought one at a bitchy bro's auction. On my bobcat T650 It vibrated, but compaction wasn't any good. Ended up just overheating my bobcat. Landhonor = Landh Onorment = Land Ornament. Agrotk. Agrovation. Sound it out.
