We recently built a brand new set of rolling basket arms for a customer after the originals were bent and out of alignment — no longer doing their job. We kept the geometry true and beefed them up with added gussets for better durability out in the field.

Simple, strong, and ready to roll.

We recently picked up our new equipment trailer from Imperial Trailer here in Olney, IL. We are blessed to have a local Manufacturer right around the corner that builds extremely durable trailers with exceptional quality that will hold up to our abuse for years and years to come. We will make a few additions in the coming weeks to customize the trailer to our unique needs and then it will be ready to put into service.

One handy feature that a CNC machine affords us is not only creating complex parts but the ability to run unattended over night.
