At 16:54 Heat the shaft cherry red....... in the mean time keep the bolt end in a bucket of water.... Heat.......cool......... heat cool at least three times. While the shaft is still cherry read......the bold should come right out with a vise crips tightly on it !

RANDY what a very interesting video , as they say , a farmer work is never done and just when you think you have seen it all , just wait 24 hrs , have a great day , be well ,be safe , enjoy life ,

[@johntremelling5009]

[@piperdoug428]

Good morning Randy
I have had those days days too. I started a hobby grain farm in the spring, and have had quite a few of these! I think you and I are not alone in having bad days on the farm.
Have you had any strategies that help this?
For me, I think fatigue is a real issue. When I am fatigued is when a lot of these happen and sometimes get worse.
When I work for weeks on end, I find my productivity goes down, and I find I make mistakes that cost a lot of time and money.
A strategy I want to try is to take 1 day a week off from farm work. I plan to use this day to catch up on personal tasks and needs that get neglected when I am busy on the farm, such as laundry, groceries, meals, and a bit of relaxing. To me, this is a bit of a vacation to cool off, and collect my thoughts, catch up, and get prepared for the few days
I havent tested this idea yet.
Sometimes pur best plans are just plans. There are a lot of unforseen risks in Agriculture! Maybe we can change are expecatations, and analyze our approach to see if we can do things different and/or better
Farming is not easy! No matter what people say. I was a non farmer until this year, and now I understand how it can be. Maybe we can borrow ideas from other producers to make our lives easier.
If anyone else has a ideas or comments, please feel free to leave a comment

Sometimes are not easy. I take Sunday for a day of rest, chores are still to be done, maybe baling happens, pending on the weather. It’s good to get the mind on other good things.
