Hey y'all, this is Chad Henderson with Extreme Ag and we're going to talk just for a second about what we do to our machines.
00:06
You know, we get 'em in here, we clean 'em up after harvest and after we clean 'em up
00:11
and give 'em a good washing, you know, which some people's yes, wash some people's no, don't ever wash one, which going to blow it off real good.
00:18
Um, and, and I can't say that either one of 'em different but me. I don't like that fact
00:22
that I'm gonna put mine out here in the shed. We have multiple machines gonna put 'em in the shed and grain bins around here.
00:28
We know we have, everybody has a rat and running around at some point, you know, so I'm gonna get 'em as clean as possible
00:34
and then when we do, we're gonna set 'em out in the shed or whatever, let 'em dry.
00:38
Once we let 'em dry, we're gonna back 'em back outta the shed. We're gonna let 'em sit here, run for 15, 20, 30 minutes
00:44
and just let the machine sit idle with the whole machining gear. It's sitting here running. Now, once we do that,
00:50
it lets everything warm up. Then we're going to grease 'em real good when we grease 'em. We're gonna let 'em sit and run another 15 or 20 minutes
00:57
and it just pushes any water that we pushed in because, you know, we did with a pressure washer, we blow water in the bearings.
01:03
So we're gonna push that water out with the grease and then let 'em sit there and grease up. Good. Put 'em away for the, I guess not for the winter,
01:11
but for the winter until we get created cup wheat again. A couple more things going do is check the belts.
01:16
When we check the belts, we're gonna release a bunch of the belts. Not all the belts that have the spring tension 'em on 'em,
01:21
but the ones that are prone to crack my feet, accelerator belts on the deer machines will do that. Um, so we'll release all the belts
01:28
that we can without a whole, whole, whole lot of work just to where they sit and they're not
01:33
sitting there in that one spot. Still cracking that one spot. So just a few tips from us on what we do to our machines
01:41
help ensure better life on bearings and belts.
