Farm Equipment Welding Repair
When a drawbar cracks in the middle of planting or a loader bracket lets go during harvest, you need it fixed today, not next week.

We Come to the Field
Most farm equipment repairs are done right where the equipment sits, in the field, in the barn or in the yard. Our mobile rig carries everything needed for MIG, TIG and stick welding, cutting and fabrication, so you're not losing a day hauling a machine to a shop. Smaller parts, like a hitch, a bracket or a drawbar, are quickest to bring to the shop in Townsend.
Old Equipment, Parts That Aren't Made Anymore
A lot of farm equipment has been in the family for decades, and some of the parts just aren't made anymore. Rick can repair the original part, reinforce it where it keeps breaking, or fabricate a replacement bracket or mount from scratch. Not sure an old casting can be saved? Send a photo, or take the Will It Weld? quiz.
Certified, On-Site Repair
Rick is a certified welder, and a manufacturer chose him as its on-site repair specialist. The same skills that keep excavators and loaders working on jobsites keep tractors, loaders and implements working on the farm. See Heavy Equipment Repair for bigger machines.
