I purchased a FS75 last year. I coundnt believe the world of change from auger head. Recently I had my center feed drum come to a stop. The drive chain came off the left size and all hell happened. It turns out the fingers bent because they don't break. They caused the crank inside to break. It bent the drum all up. $5000 and 4 days down time. I posted this and was surprised to get responses that showed this happened. I took my drum to auto shop to have them straighten out. New crank and replaced fingers with poly. I still am not sure why the fingers bent. I had some slugs when it was damp I had to reverse but I didn't have a rock go in????
