Following recent updates to its feed line offering, PigTek of Milford, Indiana, has announced new five-year limited warranties on select products.

The company’s anchor bearing, stainless-steel boots, and stainless-steel control units now come with the industry-leading warranties for customer peace of mind.

PigTek’s new anchor bearing (see photo at top of the article), featuring a triple lip seal for superior dust and water protection, now includes the enhanced five-year warranty. The bearing is made in the US, which the company said provides for even greater durability and more reliable sourcing.

Next, PigTek’s stainless-steel boots come with a five-year warranty. The boots were recently updated with solid welded seams, unlike products that are more prone to failure due to weaker spot-welded designs.

Video: Learning to Wrench From Dad the Hard Way

Harvest is a week out and the farm picked this week to fall apart. The truck needs a battery, the barn curtain's got a problem, and the corn and beans are telling us we're out of time to get it all fixed.

So it's a full day of wrenching. Tork supervises while I get the truck back running, then we're out at the hog barn where one rusted up part has the whole curtain system hung up. Ladder work, cable work, and a little dad-and-son disagreement about the right way to do it. We close it out walking the fields, shelling beans and checking corn, because whether everything's fixed or not, harvest starts when harvest starts.
