    Why are the belts breaking on my Sukup Fastir?
    • R
      ruthowensAug 20, 2025
      Belts may be breaking due to improper alignment. To solve this, adjust the motor pulley. Another potential cause is a damaged pulley, so check the pulley and auger shaft for any damage and replace if necessary.

    What to do if 1-1/2 HP motor is not turning in Sukup Fastir Farm Equipment?
    • P
      Philip WilliamsAug 23, 2025
      If the 1-1/2 HP motor isn't turning, it could be due to a thermal overload shut off. Try pressing the reset button. Also, the motor may be running on 115V and needs to be on 230V (except on 460V units).

    How to fix a Sukup Fastir crosstube that is not turning?
    • R
      rebeccamorrisAug 26, 2025
      If the crosstube isn't turning, the shearpin on the gearmotor may have sheared. Replace the shearpin.

    Why is the 1-1/2 HP motor on my Sukup Fastir Farm Equipment running slow and lacking power?
    • M
      Mrs. Cassandra BullockAug 28, 2025
      If the 1-1/2 HP motor is running slowly and lacks power, it may be wired for 115V or one fuse may be blown. Use a voltmeter to check the voltage; it must be 230V.

    What causes a Sukup Farm Equipment crosstube to stop moving forward on the track?
    • J
      Joshua DillonAug 30, 2025
      If the crosstube isn't moving forward on the track, the shearpin on the gearmotor may have sheared. Replace the shearpin.

    Why is the down auger getting ahead on my Sukup Farm Equipment?
    • K
      Karen MackSep 2, 2025
      If the down auger is getting ahead, it could be because the crosstube isn't traveling around the bin due to a hard spot or concentrations of fines in the center of the bin. Check the gearmotor and gears to ensure they are functioning correctly, and replace any damaged parts.

    Why is my Sukup Farm Equipment experiencing machine vibration?
    • L
      Laura WhiteSep 5, 2025
      Machine vibration may be due to a bent down auger. Straighten the auger or install a new one.

    Why is the down auger trailing excessively on my Sukup Fastir?
    • N
      nicholascollinsSep 7, 2025
      If the down auger is trailing excessively, the flighting may be worn off. Replace the auger.

    What causes Sukup Fastir to hit the top of the bin?
    • E
      Edgar MorganSep 10, 2025
      If the machine is hitting the top of the bin, the track may be installed too high. Lower the track.

    What to do if the carriage isn't traveling in or out of the crosstube in Sukup Farm Equipment?
    • E
      Elizabeth RomanSep 12, 2025
      If the carriage isn't traveling in or out of the crosstube, the reversing mechanism bearing may not have switched completely. Adjust the springs on the reversing rod to make each side equal. Also, check the detent and spring, and verify the toggle gear bolt torque, which should be approximately 30 ft-lbs.
