Agriculture
Precision-machined components for the tractors, combines, and forage and tillage equipment that keep the field running.
In the heart of agriculture.
Our location in Rock Valley, Iowa places TCS in the heart of agriculture. TCS has relationships with many agricultural equipment manufacturers, supplying them with precision-machined components for their tractors, combines, and forage and tillage equipment.
Typical manufacturing challenges
Agricultural equipment components spend their working life under heavy-duty, cyclical loads — running through dirt, moisture, and wide temperature swings in the field. Rotating and mating parts need to hold tight tolerances and resist wear over long duty cycles, or downtime on the customer's end turns into downtime for the whole operation.
That combination of durability, precision, and repeatability at volume is what agricultural equipment manufacturers look for in a machining partner.
Built for ag, under one roof.
Because TCS's Rock Valley facility sits in the heart of the agriculture industry, the manufacturers it works with get more than a supplier down the road — they get an in-house engineering staff and more than 32 integrated manufacturing processes working from the same drawing.
Machining, grinding, and heat treating for tractor, combine, and forage and tillage equipment components all happen inside one facility, so parts aren't shipped to outside shops for additional operations before they're finished.
Processes suited to agricultural components
Ag equipment components are often rotating or mating parts that call for hard, wear-resistant surfaces and precise geometry — capabilities TCS runs in-house.
Where TCS shows up on the equipment
TCS supplies precision-machined components for tractors, combines, and forage and tillage equipment — the core equipment categories agricultural manufacturers rely on.
Value-engineered from the first drawing
TCS's internal engineering staff uses AutoCAD and Mastercam® to simulate tool paths and sequences for optimum efficiency and accuracy before the first chip is cut. That same team helps source, test, and qualify materials for the application at hand, delivering value-engineered solutions to market rapidly, cost-effectively, and with outstanding quality.
