In this episode, we track down a used, new-to-us manure agitator that’s been sitting for several years—and it’s buried in overgrown brush. Before we can even think about fixing it, we have to dig it out and get it hauled back to the farm.
Once we get a closer look, we find dry-rotted hoses, stuck parts, and plenty of wear from sitting idle. The tires are still holding up, but it’s going to take a lot of grease, repairs, and hard work to bring it back to life.
Around here, we don’t mind a good project—especially when it means giving old equipment a second chance. Stay tuned to see if we can get this agitator running again!
