CNC machining for Irish agri-machinery
Agriculture and ag-equipment manufacturing are a backbone of the Irish economy, and behind every spreader, trailer, slurry tanker, feeder and tillage rig is a stack of machined parts that have to survive mud, impact, vibration and Irish weather. Whether you build machinery, repair it, or need a discontinued part remade, CNC machining is how you get strong, repeatable metal components.
Typical agri parts that get machined
Hydraulic manifolds and fittings, PTO and driveline components, hubs, axles and spindles, bushings and bearing housings, hitch and linkage pins, gearbox and transmission parts, sprockets and shafts, and obsolete or hard-to-source replacement parts for older machines that are no longer supported by the original manufacturer.
Materials that suit the job
Mild and carbon steel for structural strength and weldability, stainless (304/316) where corrosion and washdown matter — slurry, fertiliser and dairy contact — and aluminium where weight matters. Many parts are hardened or finished for wear resistance. See the materials guide and finishes guide for matching material and treatment to the environment.
Reverse-engineering a discontinued part
One of the most common agri jobs: a part has failed on an older machine and the OEM no longer supplies it. A CNC shop can measure or scan the worn part, produce a drawing, and machine a faithful — often improved — replacement. Bring the old part (even broken), any markings or numbers, and a description of how it failed. The CAD prep guide explains what helps the shop quote faster.
