Day568

You can tell it’s Monday things braking roads closed lots of mud

[@MrMegarry1]

👍👍 My type of vid. Recovering broken machinery from muddy fields 💪💪 A nightmare on the business side of things but great for the little boy inside us all.

[@m2hmghb]

A suggestion for the broken shaft is to contact local machinists. Sometimes they can make a part cheaper and faster then getting it from a manufacturer. Good video Olly, and I hope things get better.

[@andrewjones2640]

Give the JD a play can't beat old school power 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻

[@chrisrowbottom8119]

Thanks for the birthday shout out. I think the old fendt 514 should make it on to list wat a tractor spent most of my teens powerharrowing in one of these and took my tractor test in it to just shows how simple life is now driving the new fendt to the old ones.

[@andrewhurstcars]

Unusual for a driveshaft to just snap like that. He was driving with a lot of lock on at 2:47. Maybe those deep ruts, combined with diff locks & driving style put too much stress on it.

[@OOpSjm]

Not unusual given the conditions and lock angles he was using while subsoiling.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

It had gone dry to

[@richardmatthews3304]

@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer the John Deere that made the ruts with 16ton of spuds didn't break down 😃

[@lloydy584]

I would have started in the most water filled ruts by putting little short runs in at 90° to them. Then done the rest of the field so they could dry a bit. Never seen the point in driving down a rut you are trying to lift. Had a cat 3 top link ball snap on me when I was mapping a field. The 7 furrow mounted plough soon let me know there was an issue! 😙

Hi Olly, great to see Johnathan back in the yard 👍 I got caught out with the road works as well, cant understand why they let you drive virtually all the way up the road before you see a "road closed" sign !! Always handy to keep a handful of zip ties in the cab, could have been just the job to keep the drive shaft away from fouling while you was trying to move the tractor. Cheers for the video Olly 👍

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Dunno it’s a fair lump

[@darrenpearson3155]

Have just started to watch am from Rustington in West Sussex this is one of the best things on you tube please keep it up and thank you.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks 😊

[@andrewduncan3194]

Great video Olly great content hope you get the Fendt repaired soon 👍👍👍👍

[@guys4561]

There's one thing I've learnt over the years. Always keep your kit well oiled and greased, or it will let you down and cost you a bloody fortune! I had the same thing happen on my John Deere😥

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

It’s not grease able 🤷‍♂️

[@guys4561]

@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer ? Must be sealed unit then? Still should of not broke? I know it looked like hard going in there, but that should of not broke like that, my John deere broke, the seal went, and the hub ran dry

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video olly costly repair but that’s machinery for you

[@johnblaha275]

Yep OLLY I Think Its time for that CASE Quad Trac. Easy to get out of Snow, Mud and Lots of Power. Have a Great Tuesday>

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

I've subscribed, I am from Midcoast Maine U.S.A I like your style and tractor collection. You happen to have my favorite ATV as well 90s Honda 🤟😆

[@jimmybroom]

Great video Olly. You did well to get that Fendt out of the field and on the lowloader.

[@thetessellater9163]

Any really heavy work needs to be done straight, as the Universal Joint is much stronger in a straight line than when its at its most angled, like when in full lock or at the extremes of the suspension.

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video olly, your jack of all trades now doing recovery work , yes that a handle the flatlift. 96% .

[@jonathans1955]

Bit of a bummer of a day but shows us how you get round problems. I wonder if the shaft was shocked due to the kinetic energy transfer when the diff lock was engaged from the other wheel spinning quite fast. Thanks for the outro extension. 😉

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

It broke 6 hours later

[@philipgraham6980]

Not the best of Mondays, but as they say "things can only get better". Great vid thanks catch u tomorrow.

[@samherbert1724]

Nothing simple in oily life.... great video as always 👍

[@pauljarvis7554]

Yeah those drive shafts don’t like running when the steering is full lock combined with deep ruts same as when you run the pto on an angle lifted up

[@swblandyman]

Great video, I always used to find things happen 3’s what’s the next thing lol, I would try the sub soiler on the JD, nice wide tyres and it will make a lovely sound when she grunts 😂

[@craigdoig9486]

Great video

[@wivout]

Great Blog - Here's is a comment to remind you to weld that trailer ramp tomorrow lol :D Hate Monday too, 87% today

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@johnwarwick4105]

I always look at it like this the field is a good place to break down! If it had locked the front wheel on a busy road miles away from home tramming on a 50k with a loaded trailer😮😮. The damage and recovery bill would have been huge. Assume they are sealed for life so you will be wanting one for the other side as well☹️Unless the UJ is standard size.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer they are

[@JanHenW]

I like to always use the automatic difflock on the Fendt so that it turns it off with the steering angle bit easier on the tractor. But that still should not be the cause for the shaft snapping.

[@kevinroberts2014]

Valtra has had that autodifflock for years

[@christinegibbins6105]

Oh dear Olly, thats a tough day, mad day here, childminding a 2 year all day, I'm knackered, now there is 150 acres of maize being cut around the house tonight!!! You take care and hope the part is soon sorted. Take care.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Bet that sounds good hearing choppers sing

[@christinegibbins6105]

If it keeps me awake I would rather not hear it sing!!!

[@roberthiggins6401]

Great to see Jonathan up and about.

[@byronlovesey1290]

you need to get the quod track to pull that bit of kit on your old potato ground that would be a good video

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

I do

[@jackrhodes4186]

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Great video as always

[@mucksavageIrl]

Some pain in the hoop with that drive shaft. 936 made the trailer look small. Pop the case on the flat lifter and make it sing.

[@timgalley4391]

DVLA thought they best get a move on as soon as they saw it was that "Olly Blogs" fella again lol. Recall seeing a USA 4x4 offroad channel explain that the weakest position for power transmission through the UJ is with the steering turned so probably didn't help having the steering turned trying to get out of the rut dragging the sub soiler

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yer deffo

[@LadDadDetectorists]

Brilliant video again olly, cheers for sharing mate. I actually just bought a farming game for the ps4 ill learn alot from watching your videos. Cheers. Lee who does the metal detecting 👍👍

[@SlipShodBob]

Look on the bright side at least they didn't press the rollover button that some Fendt tractors down this way seem to have fitted.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

😳

[@Agri-Farm-UK]

I can see why you gave him the 724 now to much power for the guy 😂. Oh well these things happen I let my brother loose on my 828 and five leg subsoiler wasn’t long before he snapped the arm off. Doing your best in tricky spud ground 👍

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

It’s not good

[@cubehopper78]

Please could you do a shout out to Wayne Summerscales, who watches your blogs every day! He’s featured in the latest Farm Machinery Journal for November. Thanks, Toni :)

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Is it his birthday?

[@cubehopper78]

Ummm not until June lol

[@MuddyTDi]

Might be worth speaking to dunning and fairbank at leeds there isnt much they cant do when it comes to propshafts, even sourced me just cups and rollers for my old unimog. Get the 4955 on subsoiling.

[@crazyjock999]

9:29 😂 magic mushrooms. Leave em alone Olly 😂

[@philipparker7475]

My vote for seriously uncool on your coolwall is a Fendt 936 on a low loader 😉

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

🤣🤣🤣

[@tommyoneill2836]

Hi Olly I just wanted to say I think you should put the 4955 on the Blue thing

[@jascollinscork]

Hard luck today Olly!! But I can’t wait for tomorrow 😀

[@tommurphy6062]

You can get engineering firms to rebuild prop shafts and drive shafts on 4x4 and trucks

[@martinlingham2162]

JD 4955 is a proper 200hp tractor, grunt and weight she will purr with that 4 leg subsoiler

[@johnmyles1497]

I don't miss that end of things not on their farm all the way from Ireland 🇨🇮

Sure is Monday when you snap a drive shaft ROAD CLOSED !!! just what you need. Some tread on that T7

That quad - trac would be ideal for the spud fields 😉

I know

[@norfolksuffolkfarmingvideo5199]

That is the joys of growing spuds, some farmers round here have got fed up with it and dont bother growing them now

[@thetessellater9163]

Leave it to Lincolnshire....

[@hb_chippy7166]

90% today, how are you Olly? Big ouch on the cost of the 936 😬

[@adamwatson6384]

🤦‍♂️. That looks expensive. Respect for sharing it with everyone. They all break down at some point. Is it still under warranty?

[@thetessellater9163]

I think he said 8,000 hours.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

I’m not sure

[@adamwatson6384]

Was I the only one terrified the unstrapped 936 would fall off the low loader!?🤦‍♂️ I thought it would hit a wet bit and tip off.

[@andrewbibby7060]

Unlucky break down,,,I'm sure you be up and running soon,

[@Robstew9000]

Andrews 4955 to the rescue proper old school power 💪..

[@foggzhong]

How much does it cost you when you have to clear the fly tip. Just curious as it appears a few farmers have that issue with fly tippers

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

No a lot I usually burn it 🤣🤣🤣

4955 No School Like Old School

[@brown6480]

Put it on the 4955, it'll give her a good work out

[@benskinner5956]

I’d say give the 4955 a work out with the flat lifter an are you going to do both front drive on the 936 as one gone the other might soon as well so might be peace of mind to do both

[@robkarloff]

Maybe a bit too much of the L555 BAT, "if in doubt, flat out" at work there....? :p Is the shaft itself totally mullered, or could you try and get a UK driveshaft company put new UJs onto it? Best check the other side while you're at it too...
