I have head problems

[@jodydoakes8754]

When I was a kid on the farm, I was continuously amazed at my father's ability to literally fix anything--he never called in the dealer or anyone else. You remind me of him. High compliment, in my eyes.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thank you

[@jimmyb3028]

Good morning farming fixing and fabricating!!! Feel like I'm working right alongside you Great videos Love them!!!👍🇺🇸

[@billpersun8195]

My dad's favorite saying was " Don't Force it, get a bigger hammer!" 😂 Ya do what ya gotta do to back up and running. Great job!

[@vaughantomlin7816]

Andy great video You and your family does an absolute great job on fixing and keeping all your equipment running and in great shape I always look forward to your next video

[@brianwittman5172]

Where is Charlotte? Last year, she was getting pretty good at changing guards, sections, knives, skids, etc? I miss her commentary, too!

[@warringwarthog]

growing up we learned real quick how sharp the cutter bar is

[@Delbert127]

Hammer, pry bar, whatever it takes Andy. Time well managed is what I see. Great video.

Broken fingers and head problems, Andy is in rough shape haha

Good fix Andy. It’s farming we improvise a lot when we need to fix stuff. Doesn’t matter how it gets done as long as it’s done. Thanks for the video. 👍🇺🇸🇮🇪

[@philrogers8160]

Wow, fixed and back going both times, you are great at repairs.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

The 630F and header cart are still available! Less than 1000 acres since rebuild by JD dealer. We won't discuss the guy that planted over the obstacles that were the cause of the rebuild... 😯🤣🤣 Great video, Andy. There's a lot more to a Flex Head than it looks like. God Bless y'all!

[@chrisfarmsllc1224]

Thanks for the video tutorial, I have to work on my head soon before beans. Has a bend in it too. I have a piece of 4" angle welded to the top of a coupler mount for my loader so I can move heads and work on them.

Great video. That went by fast! Yeah I noticed that the guard sequence was out of order. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! lol!! Sure, I could see those guards!🤠🚜

[@deancook6832]

I fixed mine just about the same way once. Hit a small stump that was cut off at nearly ground level and planted right over on a custom combining job. Never had any further problems after hammering it back straight.

You didn't even stop for a hot lunch.

[@bradalyea9070]

Andy, check that brace under the left side of the head with the ball joints on each end. If there is any wear in the balls, it’s really hard on the knife drive system!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks

[@johndenoma6397]

Build a arch and use a bottle jack to straightened it out. In the old day on my 7700 I bent it in about the same place and I straitened it so I was back going.

[@paullittle4040]

If the hammer is working for fixing I'd keep using it Andy. Great video!

Wonder if a left hand side for a 40’ would work. Looks like a 35’ we had to replace.

[@stephenbradbury460]

Hey Andrew your lucky if you can fix it with a hamer.... i cant you must have a magic hamer. Good on you mate. And grate croping video thanks again.....

[@dadigitechman]

I used to keep about a foot or so of cutter bar. If the bar ever broke i just spliced that small peice over top using the longer bolts that usually bolt down the knife drive on the ends of the knife. Up and running in 15 minutes. To prevent cutter bar breaks. Keep all guards straight. If you cant slide the cutter bar out easily by hand, youve got some work to do.

[@robjw7250]

All looks good to me, cracking on 😊

[@adeereplowboy]

The bottle jack trick works without removing all the guards. It’s a quick field fix.

[@RonsHorse]

IDK Andy,but I got several Hammers in my toolbox

[@kevingordon7426]

Where do you use the wheat and straw? Just curious since I see sand for bedding. Thanks.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Boxstalls and calf pens

[@37903eral]

I think that is the first time in 3 years of watching you that you didn't have a hammer. 😊 I always have a hammer in every tractor. Sure, saves on the hands.

[@burtzorn4059]

You always seem to have good luck getting the broken bolts out. I never did, but im not a great welder like you.

[@Thegrim326]

Which head the one on your shoulders or the one on the combine? I think we can all say we have problems with the one on our shoulders.

[@BigTader]

Andy I understand keeping a peace of equipment for several years but at what point does the downtime and repair cost become to much and a new machine makes sense to buy I know new machinery is ridiculously high. But time is money is what my grandad always told me. Stay safe and hydrated

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

These repairs are needed on the new stuff to

[@BigTader]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating I understand that but it appears your having a lot of down time with the combine over the past 2 years the older a peace of equipment gets with so many wear parts down time will increase. And I understand you not wanting to replace the combine because they are so freaking expensive. 🍻

@@FarmingFixingFabricatingPeople don’t realize that even 1, 2, or 3 year old combines are expensive to maintain and have lots of wear parts.

[@Ham68229]

Sickle bars just plain suck when removing and installing. We used wooden handled hammers to push ours in and out, easier to replace a wooden handle than a digit. Andy, I could be wrong and it may be just your camera but, your reel looks like it sits lower on the left side than the right? Despite some of the issues you've had, you guys are working like a well oiled system and this is how things get done fairly quickly.

As I'm sure you know, ... that bent cutter bar now has the "memory" of being stretched at the bend, and no matter how straight you make it, the tendency to bend again at that point, will always be there.

Wrong.

When I see you writing about another channel, I can tell you that you have never done ag in practice, most likely only behind a screen on FS! Both channels are completely different situations and operations, a good farmer recognizes both situations and can have a lot of respect for both. Not the dumber farmers and keyboard knights, they will rip people off. Just think about that!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I'm a life long farmer. I can't bear to watch that other channel. Some people seem to try to bait for sympathy for their own lack of thinking. I wish all the best, but I won't encourage poor thinking by watching, definitely not by subscription.

@@MorganOtt-ne1qj I'm not saying that you should watch that channel, I don't watch it that often myself. But all situations are different, whether you enter a well-functioning company, whether you have been in business for years or you are just starting a new company for yourself. Anyone who makes his or her own money in an allowed way deserves respect in any way, everyone does it their own way. Who are the keyboard knights to judge about that? And just look around you, it is always the bad farmers and ignorant people who immediately make a judgment about how someone else works. They should first work on your own knowledge and attitude!
