I have just received an email reply from Agrotk admitting the truth! "Yes, we have had dozens of customers experience the same problem. It's a flaw in our machine design. " It's time for them to become accountable for this design flaw. It has cost most of us thousands of dollars each. Unacceptable!

In the same boat as you admitted the part is bad and is discontinuing it.they hacked my email and erased all my messages from them if I was you I would copy your correspondence with them.

Thank you for this video, just pulled mine apart and found the damaged coupler.

I have the exact same problem, and it seems many others do as well. IMO, this should be grounds for a class action complaint against Agrotk and Ritchie Brothers. This product is failing by design, yet they continue to sell it and rip off more unsuspecting buyers!

I'm on board with this guy.

Dealing with same issue. The outside diameter of spline adaptor is too small, it needs to make contact with Love Joy at mounting bolts.

What is the part number of the lovejoy?

So you have pt. 2 up yet?

Do you have any updates? Mine also does the same thing.

Do you still have the chinese roller? I have bought one and it broke the love joy within couple hours, please let me know if you found a way to make it work. Thanks for your time!

Did that fix the roller

Yo did you ever put this back together?

I have the same roller with the same problem. Hoping you guys find a solution. Has anyone looked at the parts from a different Chinese rollers to see if there is a better design that might work on ours?

Have you tried spinning the shaft by hand mine is very rough sounding and feeling

Mine is super-rough sounding, too. I'm starting to think that the failure of this connecting assembly near the motor is actually due to unacceptable resistance somewhere in the counter-weighted axle inside the drum. Maybe the Lovejoy-style connector isn't really the problem, but rather just the observable point of failure after something else causes too much strain and stress? Is anyone else noticing a very rough sound from inside the roller before this connecting assembly smokes and fails?

@@RickRossTN I have a greatbear vibrator and it lasted 5 minutes working great. Now it spools up, but feels as if its grinding on something and stops. Puts a lot of strain on my hydraulic system when it does this.

Just got the same roller and it stopped working after 5 min.

I have the same unit, same problem. do you have the part # of the rubber spider?

Mine didnt last 10 hours. Completely shit out.

Don't buy this roller still waiting on dealer to send me Parts it's been about 2 weeks.

I bought one at a bitchy bro's auction. On my bobcat T650 It vibrated, but compaction wasn't any good. Ended up just overheating my bobcat. Landhonor = Landh Onorment = Land Ornament. Agrotk. Agrovation. Sound it out.
