Working with the fantastic team at Taskpower New Zealand again who asked us to design a live heel hitch for one of the mulcher heads they sell.
This little beauty was designed, cut, fabricated, finished and assembled in house, ready for a trip to Fieldays before heading to it's new owner.

The latest Deere out the gate with a set of grouser bar extensions to give it that bit more traction on the slopes, and a tether hitch for safety while steep slope harvesting....just in case....
Heading off to get a felling head fitted before it's on its way to its new owner.

One green machine leaves and all of a sudden its big brother walks in the yard. There are Deere roaming around everywhere.
This one, from the same customer, is waiting to get grouser extensions and a tether hitch fitted.

A shiny, brand new, green machine dropped off by one of our long term customers for blade extensions to be fabricated and fitted before it heads down south to its new owner. With its wider feet these blade extensions will help it to cut tracks and clear a path wide enough for easy access.

A decent repair job on a long standing customer's John Deere 959 felling machine to kick off the new year. Top off, swing table out, cracks repaired and replated to John Deere's specs, ready for the crane to come back, put it back together, and send it back out into the scrub.

More horticultural goodies finished and ready to be put into action. This one is a precision concentric fertiliser spreader for use on row crop beds, allowing the operator to spread the perfect dosage of fertiliser to each plant row, minimising wastage and maximising efficiency and bang for buck. Stainless steel hopper, feed tubes and roller arms, with precision machined componentry hiding inside.

One of our more recent builds out the door. Hydraulically powered chain drive sawdust and compost spreader for a local large scale nursery. The customer was so happy with it he took off before we could get any more photos. Looking sharp in John Deere green it's off to help grow a gaggle load of pine seedlings.

Didn't take long for it to start earning its keep. The newly built trailer featuring the Endura Equipped crane hanging onto the West-Trak supplied track press, makes busting tracks apart quicker, easier and safer.

13/02/2025

Our latest build to go with our recently acquired track press supplied by West-Trak, which will make it a bit easier on the boys come track gear time, and it will no doubt come in handy for other wee projects too.
Looking quite sharp with the Endura Equipped Quicklift crane attached.

We've had the pleasure of working with Taskpower New Zealand this week, fabricating this hanger and felling support attachment for one of their new Jak Tree Shears.

Thanks to the team from West-Trak we've just taken delivery of this brand new track press, and within hours it's already straight into work getting a sweat up on these John Deere 959 tracks. Just another string to the bow that allows us to better assist our clients with their service and repair tasks.
