Default A kink in a farmers day (and not the good kind)

Yesterday morning the auger that goes to our wet bin had an apparent...issue. An explosive one. $900 later and they have a new shaft section. Between that and DEF issues, this year has gotten off to a rocky start!

It is, but could have been worse; the operator was standing pretty close to the area when it let loose. I wonder if he had to change his britches afterwards, I never asked

I'm not sure what happened, to be honest. The auger is set up the same way it has been for several years now. Either way, not a cheap fix in that one.

No. Those double cardian joint parts are not cheap at all. $900 seems a bit steep, but I don't know where you got the parts, or what you bought.

I'm not sure where they got the part from as I didn't get in until after my normal "8-5" job that day, but not too local if I recall what the boss said. I think he was just of the mindset "we aren't getting the crop out of the field without this part, so get it, replace it, and move on". He doesn't like sitting still

Exactly what kind of U-joint is that? Looks like nothing I have ever used, and the price is either highway robbery or verifies it is being way different than any thing here.

I'm guessing it's just the angle or lighting that is playing a trick on your eyes. I'll try to snap a better picture of it when I can.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
