Pontiac, IL. | Just finished the third season with my 2730. Almost 2,000 acres per year. no problem with shanks breaking. Have sheared pins where fields have rocks. Had bearings go out on 3 different disc gangs this year. All on front disc gangs. One of the gang nuts had been overtightened from the factory, and stripped the threads. Had to get a 1" impact wrench to get it off. Went to order a new nut from Deere and dealer said that they were N/A and 90 on backorder from Deere. Lucked out and second closest
Deere dealer had one in stock. Not fun to change bearings. Need a 3/4 " impact Universal joint. Fairley short impact socket, and about 3 men. No grease zirks on bearings, which MAY be better than greasable bearings. Last year, had a flat tire, and 3 of the lug nuts were stripped from being overtightened. Machine does a great job, but it is MASSIVE. I would think that you may have gotten a bad batch of shanks. How many acres on the machine? | |
