I've never seen anything German made that was of low quality. I've also never seen something German made that was inexpensive. Something about getting what you pay for....
You know one of the things I like about watching your videos when your repairing something if you see a way of improving something you do it that takes years of knowledge and know how a piece of equipment works and if you can make it run better or operate better you do it regardless if it cost you more money or not keep doing what you do i really appreciate what you do
I love the positive attitude you got there this morning Wesley. You should be a motivational speaker. Lol just kidding. That's no small job ahead if you. But I can't wait for videos to start.👍
I've seen another youtuber who works as a welder. When he stickweld he does not light the weld on the place to weld. He always start next to it to not get any contamination. And does not stop in the weld as you pointed out
It looks like you could slide square tubing inside that C channel and weld it good that should strengthen that C channel. Just an observation . Might save you some work. Cheers.
I worked with prototype reversible Dowdswell ploughs years ago in the mid 90s. They put special tape over the welds and with a special hand held light could monitor the stress points and how the welds " work" ,while working,,, was pretty cool. The flaired off welds distributed the stress in the metal beam outwards from the end of the weld by a couple of inches.
You should be able to straighten that top channel with a porta-power and some heat. Then weld a gusset inside it or something. If the top is open and nothing to push from, just weld in a temp plate or a bracket. My uncle likes running rocks through the combine and i've straighten some big stuff with it.
Does the Hesston 2.0 baler have the big fan/ air system of the first one? Have little hut/ hutch for each baler (with a fire fighting system in each hut?
A few years ago the dairy I work on part time had fire. Done with haylage on a Friday afternoon and bad weather coming, they parked the silage trucks and everything else in the barn and shut the doors. A kenworth truck, something shorted out and very slowly it burned up inside the barn. The truck next to it, the running lights melted along with the lights in the building. It burned itself out and nobody even knew until Monday morning when they opened the door and found a melted shell. The cab was gone and the aluminum castings on the engine melted. Everything else was just coated in soot. Very lucky.
What would be your suggestion for a small time operator that wanted a reasonable priced big square baler was a John Deere 100 any good? Looking to make 1000-2000 bales per year of feed grade hay.Located in the midwest.
Which tractor are you running on the new stack wagon now? It would be cool to see some video of it running now that you are all back home and back to normal operations. Is it working out good for you? Just reflecting back what a difference now in your operation than it was. Just 3-4 years ago! How fast times change.
After watching farming fix it and fabricate I think a John Deere 100 would’ve been a better bet for you to buy. It would’ve fit quite nicely into your Krone baler family
Robert Better, a John Deere 100 would be a better bet??!! You must not have been paying attention to the video because Andy said they only use that baler as an emergency backup because parts are not available for it.
Quite a substantial difference between German and American engineering and workmanship, no doubt. Surely American manufacturers are capable of producing much better products, yet It appears the operator (Joe) allowed the hammering to go on while baling more than just a few strokes before and after that bolt broke. Perhaps he had headphones on at the time? If a warranty were applicable, Hesston would argue that alterations to produce a more compacted bale than suggested, put the machine under undue stress and caused the massive failure. Perhaps with smart re engineering by O.L.F, the baler will be better than when it was first manufactured! This endeavor may be more in depth and involved than anticipated.
Thirty years ago I did a lot of welding on Logging Equipment..... Always started and completed welds with a run in or a run out " pigtail"
Kinda calm this morning forgot to drink the ten cups of coffee? LOL😂😂😂 Can't wait to see the work on the baler. Have a great day!!!!
You are absolutley right about the welding , cheers from Germany a German werlding instructor, keep the good work up
👍👍
I've never seen anything German made that was of low quality. I've also never seen something German made that was inexpensive. Something about getting what you pay for....
Thats History , there a not much Germans left
Its like in America , where have your famous Machine Tool Industry gone ... Cincinnati , Gleason, Bridgeport , China ?
My bet is the Germans give the welder time to do quality work with better pay.

Nice job! Looking forward to see the repair on this one.
Can't wait to see all of what you have coming up.

I love the 4960 it's been though hell and back and still going

Thanks for sharing Wes.
Looking forward to the Heston rebuild 👍
Yes! Please get the 4960 all spruced up and looking good.
The 4960 is an awesome machine. Definitely worth rebuilding

Paul Hudson --- I like the square tube inside the C channel idea, and I was thinking welded sleeves for the through-bolts would reduce "crush".

thanks for the video wes
Good luck Wess on all the setbacks that hound you.
The fun never ends👍
Restoring the 4960 sounds like a good idea,especially getting it repainted and a new cab interior.
Yeah and a krone baler for it:D Note one of these,but the older jd krones.
I could be wrong but I think it's got a fresh interior.
@@danw6014 Yeah i think so too,he put it in when he was thinking of selling it
@@thesilentg3941 after he got the new cab. That's what I thought, thanks.
@@danw6014 Nah i used it for a long time without an interior kit

WHY NO VIDEOS of the NEW stack wagon operating?
well i just haven't gotten to it yet.. mostly because I'm baling and the stacker is behind me in a different field
Maybe sometime a video on the new stack wagon?.
That is the correct term for this.

Engine for the 4960 how many hours does that tractor have now
The only reason the krone balers are built so strong is before they were well know just to explode as they weren't up to it

7810
we can rebuild it. it'll be stronger, faster, better!
wisconsin hunter Whitetail and cost 6 million bucks
Unless the government does it then you have to add a couple of zeros. Inflation you know.
Wes they call them stress welds. John Deere uses them all the time. It stops cracks.
👍👍
Hi there im new .you really know your stuff .please talk about your engineering back ground .
Thanks
LOL!! he is no engineer he has complete lack of fear rebuilding stuff and lots of experience doing so when things break!
Doink! Does it actually make that noise?!! 😝
Check the other cable next to the one that was replaced. It looked like it had a hole worn through it in the video.
Paint that tractor, I'd love to see one of your tractors with good fresh paint. 👍👍👍👍
You gotta admit Wes is a decent mechanic
He is damn good and not afraid to tackle a tough job.
Caterpillar does the same thing on there welds
Hiya Wes
"here on the farm" think about it!!!
Nr 1 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I seem to remember that Logger Wade used a similar weld technique when he was showing the Levi/Jackson trailer build.
I'm subbed to Logger Wades channel too,more good stuff.
Cheap, and light, vs expensive, and heavy!!!
Should be better than new by the time your done
I thought you went threw the engine on the 4960 after it burned?
Alvie Schreckhise he uses ether.
He didn't touch anything in the block (pistons, crank, liners....) Mainly it was head gasket, intercooler, injectors pump, water pump
whilst your at that Heston upgrading and editing it are you going to paint it cream and green and stick a krone decal on it ahaha
At what point do you call it the P andy 4910.....
Hesston 4910/ OLF special edition
Do it right or don’t do it at all is what I always say

And that wasn't from wear and tear, just poor design
One lonely farmer Can we fix IT. Tim,cody,Joe Yes we can. A F@#$ S@#$ God/@^iT. We Did IT Ya.
That background noise is it a cicada.
3/8 maybe from here
When it hits it goes doink doink, you are a fucking legend.
4960 how may hours. 30, 40 series we're ready at 10,000 hours. Most of them it all depended on care they had.
Little balers do the same thing. When it starts to knock it's time for new rollers.
if you are talking about a european machine, use if you can please use mm cm dm m
