Agriculture Industry

With the average farm size steadily increasing, farming activities have become more demanding and automated, requiring larger and heavier equipment. Trends towards more sustainable farming have led to the adoption of high-strength steel that creates stronger, lighter, and more efficient farming equipment that doesn’t compromise durability. G.E. Mathis Company provides components made from this high-strength steel.

Metal Fabrication Services for Agriculture

Within the agricultural industry, wear on equipment is primarily caused by ground contact. Choosing machinery that can withstand harsh conditions year after year is necessary to ensure maximum profits and yields. G.E. Mathis Company provides an extensive selection of metal fabrication services for the agricultural industry, including:
 

Agriculture equipment demands high-quality materials that deliver reliable performance and longevity. At G.E. Mathis Company, our fabrication processes include high-performing materials such as:

High-strength steel
This material is lighter and thinner than conventional steel while providing equal or greater strength. In agricultural applications, it boosts efficiency, resulting in less frequent refuels and the ability to harvest more crops per acre in less time.
Abrasion-Resistant (AR) Steel
This durable material achieves superior longevity and resistance to wear and abrasion.
HARDOX® Wearplate
Another type of steel from SSAB, this abrasion-resistant material performs well in challenging environments and has a long lifespan.
Strenx® Performance Steel
(Domex®): Provided by SSAB, this steel product offers an exceptional combination of strength and lightweight performance, making it ideal for agricultural equipment applications.
A656 Grade 80
This durable, low-alloy steel provides high strength and corrosion resistance.

Agriculture Industry Applications

G.E. Mathis Company fabricates highly durable metal components for agricultural machinery. Our products are designed to perform reliably in harsh environmental conditions. We produce components for many types of machinery including:
 

  • Tractors and Backhoes
    Agriculture Industry Applications

    APPLICATIONS

    Tractors and Backhoes

    High-strength steel enables this equipment to withstand nearly any condition. Well-designed components extend reach and boost lifting capacity while preserving the strength, stability, and safety of the vehicle.

  • Harvesting
    Agriculture Industry Applications

    APPLICATIONS

    Harvesting

    Harvesters are becoming increasingly more complex and robust to maximize cost-effectiveness and cover more acres per hour. This is possible through the use of high-strength steel in constructing structural parts.

  • Sprayers
    Agriculture Industry Applications

    APPLICATIONS

    Sprayers

    A sprayer boom’s total length can extend to well over 40 meters, putting extreme demands on equipment weight and rigidity. Reliable fabrication is essential to ensure the boom remains stable while maintaining a constant distance from the ground.

  • Plows and Balers
    Agriculture Industry Applications

    APPLICATIONS

    Plows and Balers

    High-strength steel increases the reliability and efficiency of plows and balers even in hard soil.
