Your farm isn’t like everyone else’s, so equipment designed for the masses often isn’t going to cut it. Investing in custom farm equipment allows you to get the tailored machinery you need to get things done and can significantly improve your operations. However, the design process for custom farm equipment is a detailed process that demands careful planning and collaboration. Our team at Merritt Mechanical Fabrication is ready to assist you, and we seek to make the process as smooth as possible.
Here’s what to expect as we work together to create custom farm equipment.
- Identification of Needs & Goals — The first step is to evaluate your specific farming practices and challenges so that we develop equipment that meets your needs. Clear goals, such as improving efficiency or reducing production costs, help guide the process.
- Concept Development — Our design team will create initial concepts for you to review. This allows you to visualize the custom farm equipment we’ve created and provide feedback that helps us make any necessary adjustments to enhance functionality.
- Testing & Iteration — Before we finalize the design, we may test out prototypes of your custom farm equipment. This helps us gather data on any flaws and make any further adjustments or alterations to meet your performance expectations.
- Production & Implementation — Once the testing is complete and the final design has your approval, we move to the production phase, where we implement precise engineering to bring the new equipment to life. After production, we install the equipment and handle any necessary operator training.
Our exact process may vary from project to project, but no matter what, we’ll collaborate with you to design the custom farm equipment you need. Reach out today to learn more or to get started on a new project.
