| I have a 7000 Deere planter that broke the main driveshaft this spring on last couple rounds of planting. This current shaft has about 25 acres on it. We don't do a lot of acres. I put a new one on it in winter of 2023, along with new bearings and retainers, new clutch and about everything spring/roll pin wise on it. I had to replace it because the season before, it bent the shaft on literally last pass for the season and would bind up and stop entire planter.
I was not there when it occurred this year, my brother was planting. Said it bound up, drug about 4 to 6 feet, he picked it up and thats when it snapped.
Has anyone seen these fail like this before? Yes its not an expensive part, but its a decent job for no more than it is, and don't want to be doing this every winter. I will attach a picture of what he sent me when he got off the tractor.
