Farming keeps America going, and it relies heavily on equipment and machinery to get it done. Mobile welding services can help farmers with various projects and offer numerous benefits, maximizing their efficiency. Below is a brief guide to what welding can do on your farm and what benefits it offers.

What Can Be Welded?

Welding can be used to repair or create multiple necessary items around your farm or ranch. Welding can create or fix fuel barrels, livestock feeders, plow parts, tractor grills and guards, fences, water troughs, wheelbarrows, utility trailers, workbenches, and irrigation systems. Also, any item that is made of aluminum, stainless steel, and low carbon mild steel can be strengthened, repaired, or created with welding. Some other metals can be welded, too — such as high-carbon steels and copper — but they require more expertise and individual approaches.

How Does This Help Farmers?

Farming is very time-sensitive, and waiting too long to plant, spray, water, or harvest can kill crops — causing farmers to lose their income for the season. Onsite mobile welding lessens the downtime and harvest loss experienced when something breaks, as you don’t have to wait days or weeks for parts to be ordered, techs to be free, and the new installation to be completed. A professional welder will have all of the materials necessary for the repair on hand, and they can often come out and complete the repair within a few days — if not the same day.

You can also create new items and equipment through welding services by contracting the professional welder to create it for you, as long as the items are metal. You’ll have to cover the costs of materials and the labor needed, as well as wait for it to be finished; but, it’s often less expensive than buying a name-brand item and will be customized to your specifications.
