Springs are used in a variety of industries and in millions of applications. There’s no overstating the importance of coil springs for the optimal performance of many products. In particular, agriculture machines wouldn’t run effectively if they weren’t manufactured with high-quality, heavy-duty coil springs.

Both large and small springs have drastically improved the efficiency of the modern-day farm. Many agriculture machines rely on torsion springs, compression springs, and extension springs to run. Here are just five of those pieces of equipment that wouldn’t work without the use of coil springs.

Sprayer Equipment

Sprayer equipment is critical to the farming industry. Insects, diseases, and weeds must be controlled in order to ensure the growing of high-yielding crops.

From the suspension used in large sprayer equipment to the industrial spray nozzles and spray injectors, coil springs are vital for the optimal performance of sprayers.

Sprayers use coil-spring suspension to ensure that farmers get the smoothest ride possible, over uneven and rough terrain, without the fear of the machine breaking down. In addition, springs are also used to level and calibrate the booms.

Mowers

Lawn mowers require rotary blades, which are created with compression springs. The rotary cutters benefit from springs as they help isolate or level the decks when farmers are on uneven surfaces. Springs are also used in the seat, ignition, engine, and other critical mechanical parts that allow these agricultural machines to run.

Deep Tillage Equipment

Harrow tines and large diameter springs are used in deep tillage equipment. They help absorb shock and allow farmers to go deeper into the soil. When farmers are going deep into the soil, they need springs that have more rate and load capacity. High-quality coil springs allow them to make fewer passes by going deeper the first time around. This equates to cost savings, time savings, and less wear and tear on the equipment.

Agricultural chemicals can also have a negative impact on tillage equipment, which is why it’s so important for the springs they’re manufactured with to have metallurgical properties in order to withstand the demanding work environments they’re placed in.

Hay Balers

Balers have revolutionized the way hay is harvested. Hay balers rely on rake tines to harvest materials on a daily basis. Their performance depends on the quality of the springs placed in them. Their teeth are made of springs, which pick up materials off the ground. If the springs used in hay balers are low in quality, they won’t be able to harvest at the speed and with the efficiency that farmers require.

Tractors

Tractors are one of the most important agricultural machines on the market. They can be used for disking, harrowing, plating, tilling, or plowing. Because they’re so versatile, it’s clear that they’re important to the farming industry, which is why using high-quality springs in the construction of tractors is so important. Springs are used in the seats to absorb shock, in the doors, in the engine, in the ignition, in the transmission—just about every part of the tractor needs coil springs in order to run efficiently.

Only High-Quality for Agriculture Machines

Agriculture machines require heavy-duty, strong, durable, industrial coil springs. When it comes to farming equipment, only the highest quality will allow for the optimal performance that is needed under the work environment the machines are placed in.
