Ranch and Ag Equipment Repair

Bent mower decks, cracked implement frames and broken ranch gear, straightened, reinforced and welded back into service. The rig drives out to the ranch, so your tractor and implements stay put and get back to work.

Mowers, cutters and blades

Rocks, stumps and fence posts are hard on anything that hangs off a tractor. Bent steel gets heated with the torch and worked back into position, broken arms and cracked decks get welded, weak spots get reinforced with flat bar, and dull blades get sharpened before it all goes back on. A damaged Kubota mower attachment in Twain Harte got exactly that treatment and went back to work, no replacement needed.

Hitches, drawbars and three-point parts

The three-point hitch, drawbar and implement mounts carry every pound the tractor pulls. Cracked brackets get ground out and welded full depth, bent arms get straightened or rebuilt, and worn mounts get reinforced, so the implement hooks up tight and pulls straight.

Implements, hay gear and cattle equipment

Everything that keeps a ranch working is steel that bends, cracks and wears through. We repair it where it sits and build new parts when the old ones are too far gone.

  • Rotary cutters, finish mowers and flail mowers
  • Box blades, rear blades and land planes
  • Three-point arms, top link brackets and drawbars
  • Disc harrows, tillers, plows and rippers
  • Hay rakes, tedders and bale spears
  • Hay feeders, feed bunks and steel water troughs
  • Squeeze chutes, headgates and loading chutes
  • Implement stands, weight brackets and tool racks

Fixed at the ranch, built in the shop

Most ranch repairs happen right where the equipment is parked, whether that's the barn, the yard or out in the pasture. The rig carries its own welder, torch and plasma cutter, so nothing has to be loaded up and hauled to town. New parts and bigger rebuilds go on our 4 by 8 foot fabrication table, with a shop hoist for the heavy pieces.

Questions we hear

Can you fix my equipment at the ranch?

Usually, yes. The rig brings its own power, torch and plasma cutter, so most mower, implement and hitch repairs happen right in your barn, yard or pasture.

Is a bent mower or implement worth repairing?

Often, yes. Bent steel can be heated and worked back into position and broken parts welded, so a damaged implement goes back to work without the cost of a new one. A recent Kubota mower attachment was straightened, welded and reinforced, its blades were sharpened, and it went back on the tractor.

What kinds of ranch equipment do you work on?

Mowers, rotary cutters, box blades, tillers, disc harrows and hay equipment, plus three-point hitches, drawbars, feeders, water troughs and cattle chutes.

Are you certified?

Yes. Our welding is AWS certified: MIG 3G, flux core 3G on 0.045 212 wire, and dual shield 1G through 4G on 0.045 E71T wire.

What hours do you work?

Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday, and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
