Fixing The Broken Roller on My Vermeer 605L Baler

Can't bale hay if the belts don't turn!

“Work smart not harder”. Smart move Pete .

Thanks!

Excellent video, nice work with the repair. I like those Vermeer round balers...👍

[@farmerpete]

Thank you!

[@steveminnich9864]

I thought I was pretty good at figuring out how to do stuff by myself. You amaze me.👍

[@farmerpete]

Thank you!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

That was an extremely creative way to make the repair- nice work!!

[@farmerpete]

Thank you!

Good Ol Menards, glad we have 2 in Wichita for competition to HD & Lowe’s. All have their advantages. Kind of think you should have bought an 8’ step ladder for that job!

[@farmerpete]

I think you’re right about the step ladder!

[@kswaynes7569]

@@farmerpete Overall, a 6’ ladder is more universal than an occasional use 8’.

Good work on the baler Pete, I usually find myself in the same fix when I have to work on my Vermeer baler.

[@farmerpete]

Thanks! It’s been a really good baler.

[@pagrainfarmer]

That was a smart method you used (the cradle) to get the roller in and out. Nice that your could fix it yourself through some welding and grinding. Good job. Enjoyed the video.

Thank you!

I had my Farmer Pete fix. Thank you.

Man yeah Mr Pete, I know you have been doing things like this longer than I have been around....but your ideas are truly genius!!! You can accomplish so much by yourself!! Glad things went pretty smooth other than having to add that extra strap! Love the mobile work bench as well!!! On that subject, do you have videos dedicated to the Ford? I know have I have seen a few about the sides and such but can't remember like an overview video. No worries, I ask way to many questions 🤣🤣🤣 Great job on that mig/shaft rebuild there as well!! Glad you are back being able to bale, at least till the parts come in 😁😁😁 Thank you sir for bringing us along, look forward to seeing what's next!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@farmerpete]

Thanks Nelson! I’m just used to being an army of one. The F600 has been featured in a number of videos but I don’t think I’ve done a specific overview on it. Briefly, 330 V8, 4speed, 2 speed axle.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@farmerpete Thank you Mr Pete, really appreciate the info sir!! 😁😁😁

[@asmrrelaxationtv8673]

Amazing content. thanks for sharing. have a good day!❤👍

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

There is no good way to do that!! Although that one is the easier one to get to. Job well done Pete!!

[@farmerpete]

Thanks Ed!

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

you and I are about the same age so My Son(43) tells me everytime I get more than 1 foot off the ground....."Remember you are one fall away from the Undertaker" We use to row crop cotton and peanuts......But about 6 years ago My Son was offered an opprotunity to become embedded in the commercial hay business... Overtime the Row crop equipment disappeared. The land was sprigged into a Hybrid Bermuda Grass and as Jackie Gleason would Say " And Away We Go!!!!"

[@farmerpete]

I probably need to be reminded about the one foot off the ground thing! Thanks.

[@brittblanton8342]

Hey Pete you AMAZE me with your skills to take on problems like that head on by yourself with no help. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great week 👍

[@farmerpete]

Thank you! Have to be creative when you’re an army of one.

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Pete Yes the theory sounds good. well I guess it work, If I was doing it I would have got help. Good work Thanks for now.

[@farmerpete]

Hi Don! My better half would agree with you! “You should ask for help!” You are both probably right.

[@user-uh9xk7bm7h]

The two before is to hold the belts up sounds like it might be a good idea

[@keithrobinson1331]

Nice Pete do use twine or plastic wrap?

[@farmerpete]

I use sissal twine on hay for myself, I net wrap anything I plan to sell. Any custom work I do people usually prefer I net wrap.

[@keithrobinson1331]

@@farmerpete I use sisal for myself and plastic for the neighbors I do!

[@brycewiborg8095]

Don't try this at home kiddies !!! Thank you Pete.
