What to do if Farm King Farm Equipment has excessive shear bolt failure?
- KKarla BrandtAug 3, 2025
To prevent excessive shear bolt failure in your Farm King Farm Equipment, start and stop the auger at a reduced PTO speed, approximately 270 RPM. Increase the PTO speed or reduce the feed rate if the PTO speed is reduced when fully feeding the intake hopper. Avoid overloading and force-feeding the hopper. Ensure the auger is empty before stopping it. If you're using wet grain, reduce the flow rate into the intake hopper.
