    What to do if Chore-Time Farm Equipment motor runs, but auger does not turn?
    • A
      Amanda GraySep 9, 2025
      If the motor runs but the auger doesn't turn in your Chore-Time Farm Equipment, it could be due to a sheared driver bolt at the Control Unit. In this case, replace the driver bolt. Another possible cause is a broken power unit pinion. Examine the pinion on the motor shaft; if the pinion is damaged, replace both the gear head and the pinion.

    What causes Chore-Time Farm Equipment elbows to wear out?

      Angela GravesSep 12, 2025
      Elbows in your Chore-Time Farm Equipment can wear out if the auger is stretched too tight, if there is a horizontal L.H. turn, or if the auger has been run dry. To address this, lengthen the auger, install an Extension Hopper, and wire a Boot Switch into the system.

      A Chore-Time Farm Equipment fill system might short cycle if the control end feed level switch does not provide a large enough feed differential. To resolve this, use a time clock to program operating cycles and consider using a control end feed level switch with lock-out and a time clock.

    What causes Chore-Time Farm Equipment extension boot to pack full of feed?
    • C
      Christopher WilliamsSep 14, 2025
      If the Extension Boot of your Chore-Time Farm Equipment packs full of feed, it may be due to too much Restrictor in the Boot. To solve this, shorten the Restrictor.

      Ross MorenoSep 16, 2025
      If the second portion of your Chore-Time extended length system won't start, the feed level control at the end of the line might be out of adjustment. Examine it and make the necessary adjustments.

    What causes Chore-Time Farm Equipment second portion of extended length system to short cycle?
    • C
      Christine CruzSep 18, 2025
      If the second portion of your Chore-Time extended length system short cycles, it could be due to too much Restrictor in the Boot. Shorten the Restrictor to resolve this. Also, too much feed may still be dispensing from drops ahead of the Extension Boot. In this case, trim the Restrictor on the first portion to allow more incoming feed.
