Roller Tongue Torn Off in Christine ND - Fixed Same Day

A farmer out of Christine, North Dakota got hit with the kind of breakdown that stops fieldwork cold - a roller tongue completely torn off. That's not a wait-until-tomorrow situation. We got the call late in the afternoon and headed straight out.

Here's what we were working with: a cracked tube that had fully let go at the tongue. The whole connection point was compromised. A quick patch wasn't going to cut it. We cut off the damaged tube, cleaned everything up, and beveled the tube ends to prep for a full-penetration weld. That step matters more than most people realize - it's what separates a weld that holds from one that cracks again three fields later.

We built the tongue back with a solid plate-to-tube connection and ran clean, tight welds all the way around. The finished joint is stronger than what came off the factory floor. That's not a boast - that's just what proper prep and full-penetration welding does. You're not just filling a gap, you're fusing the steel together as one piece.

The farmer was back rolling before the sun went down. That's what emergency farm equipment welding is supposed to look like. No days lost. No waiting on a dealer. No hauling equipment anywhere. We came to the field, handled it, and got out of the way so he could get back to work.

When equipment cracks or fails mid-season, every hour the machine sits costs money. We do mobile repairs, shop work, and emergency calls - whatever it takes to get you back up and running. If you're dealing with cracked frames, torn connections, or structural damage on any ag equipment, this is exactly the kind of work we do every day.
