Fellow pig producer here, can relate to flex auger fix. Nice to be inside, 20 below and outside gets challenging. I fish the auger out by pushing a short piece of flex in and twist it into the auger and then pull it back out. Has always worked for me.

[@mikehafley3661]

My youngest shows Duroc's they really in my opinion are the best pork you can get. He really enjoys working with his hogs. Go Cowboys

"Great day to be a pig farmer." Your video was very informative and entertaining as usual. Appreciate you sharing.

thanks for another video!!!

[@ryanbachman9227]

My grandpa raised a few hogs years ago. He always said if you want good bacon starve a pig meaning don’t push a lot of feed to them. But man nothing better than a good pork chop with some fat on it the best. Lee up the great work guys god bless

[@thislldofarm]

Thanks Ryan! Your grandpa is a smart man thanks for watching

[@jamesbarry4324]

Thanks for showing how to fix that. Pigs sure have grown!!!

[@thislldofarm]

They keep on growing! Thanks for watching

[@hbh2470]

Great video. I've fixed so many anchor bearings and gear boxes in my hog life, but I've never had to advance that much fliting as you both have. I'd replace that ...

[@mikemontgomery7337]

So glad to hear you say that about the quality of meat changing. I haven't had a good pork chop in a long time. Always dry and tough !!!

[@thislldofarm]

We're gonna change that Mike! We gotta get you an Iowa Chop from This'll Do Farm

[@stevenstodd2812]

You you go guys and always remember greasing bearings is easier than replacing them

[@thislldofarm]

Yes sir! Thanks for watching

[@michelpicton8357]

You guys are always entertaining. Probably watch this for over an hour lol Great content 👌

[@thislldofarm]

Thank you! We appreciate it a lot Michel

[@thislldofarm]

Thanks we appreciate that!

[@jucari01]

@@thislldofarm by the way. When you have fog any given time tried some yellow glasses.

[@MrCrazycook8]

Thanks for doing the repairs, I need my bacon fix

[@BruceBordner]

You can get an eight point socket to fit the gear box drain plug and make the job easier.

[@digger5858]

Great fix guys and another great video. Time for some day drinking!!!

[@thislldofarm]

Thanks Mark! It’s 5 o’clock somewhere 😂

[@corykampsen3333]

Just an fyi. Instead of using screwdrivers to get that flex auger out of the tube, take a small piece of flex auger, 6-10’ or whatever you need and push it in the end of the tube where you remove tail bearing from and turn it into the line you want to pull out. They will intertwine in each other then just pull it out.

[@paulwollman]

Glad to hear your in favour of tastier pork . You should try the Genesus jersey red Duroc .

[@redlineXX]

fat marbled juicy porkchop, good lord ur speaking my language now lad

[@jadonstauffer4277]

Wow that is a lot lot of a stretch😃call the service man Lol.

[@rodger7029]

Definitely need that fat in pork. Too lean is too dry Remember walking out to the barn late at night, there was always at least one pig chewing on a chain You are absolutely right about those anchor bearings and augers

[@thislldofarm]

Yes sir! Gotta have that fat. Thanks for watching Rodger

[@unorec1983]

so how much time do spend each day in just your barn doing chores when you have older hogs

[@jasonsmith5077]

That is not all you can do. You have multiple options. You can cut the pipe add a coupling after you tie a rope. But by far the easiest is to clamp a rod or screw driver in the closes drop to the anchor bearing then turn your motor on. The motor will turn the auger around the fixed rod inserted into the drop. Really works well . this repair can be done in approx 10-15 min with one guy. Once the auger is exposed turn the motor off and clamp the tail. I actually have a set of vice grips i welded a 2” hitch pin to so i can clamp the vice grips to the pipe or twin outlet at the feed bin. The hitch pin extends into the center of the auger. 2” per 50’ of stretch is what’s required. When i first took over the construction the crew i had would stretch 6-8 foot. I have and will fire someone that does that.

[@FarmandSpeed]

i would highly highly highly recommend putting motorkote in every gear box on the farm. I run it in every engine, gear box and transmission. **note do not put motorkote in a CVT Transmission.

[@mikeross5927]

Looks like most of them or York's and Chester White.

[@willpryor6989]

Do you guys ever receive PED or PRRS positive pigs? Makes for a whole lot tougher turn

[@Engr.RuzzelPortuguez]

where is your farn located?

[@davekolstad8581]

I always hated pork chops to dry. Always bought pork steak and still do.

[@thislldofarm]

We gotta get you an Iowa Chop for This'll Do Farm Dave! I bet that'll change your mind

[@gregorythomas333]

Just curious...what do you guys do with your dead stock?

[@carlwright6889]

If you ever get a chance. Butcher a Berkshire fat hog. Them's good eats!

[@thislldofarm]

Thanks for watching Carl! We'll do that!

So what genetics do you have in your barn now?

[@nongtraivutu8722]

Hello

[@willcamp6319]

How much weight do the pigs put on before they are put into ribs

[@doughanson9332]

Industrial hog farms raise out to between 250 to 300, maybe as much as 350, before sending to be processed.

[@ryanwaege7251]

Dang they grow fast, swear they were just weaners.

[@bobjohnson9603]

Fat is FLAVOR…..the 90’s were terrible for going lean and blah.

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]
