Metal Fabrication for the Agriculture Industry
Agriculture depends on equipment that works hard every day, often in harsh outdoor environments. In fact, agriculture is where LMI Manufacturing got its start, building parts for farmers long before advanced fabrication technology became the industry standard.
Today, we support agriculture OEMs, farm equipment builders, material handling manufacturers, and ag-tech innovators with durable, precision-built metal components that stand up to real-world use.
From welded frames and hydraulic brackets to auger housings, conveyor assemblies, and outdoor-rated enclosures, our in-house capabilities help ensure your equipment performs reliably in the field and across your production lines. Backed by decades of expertise, fast quoting, and consistent quality, we’re here to help you keep your operation moving forward.
Precision Fabrication for the
Equipment That Feeds the World
Agricultural equipment needs to perform under constant stress: vibration, impact, weather exposure, washdowns, and heavy-duty workloads. That’s why OEMs rely on fabrication partners who understand the unique demands of the field. At LMI Manufacturing, we build components and assemblies engineered for durability, strength, and long-term reliability.
Whether you need welded frames for harvesting equipment, brackets for hydraulic systems, or corrosion-resistant assemblies for crop handling lines, our team delivers parts that meet tight tolerances and arrive ready for real-world use.
We support agriculture manufacturers that need:
- Reliable components for tractors, harvesters, and farm machinery
- Corrosion-resistant parts for outdoor and washdown environments
- Heavy-duty weldments for high-impact or high-vibration applications
- Precision-formed and machined components for critical moving systems
- Durable metal assemblies that withstand long-term field use
- Rapid turnaround on prototypes and production-ready parts
- Consistent quality across multi-process builds
- A dependable partner who keeps uptime and lead times a priority
With a vertically integrated operation, experienced welders, and an in-house forming and machining department, we deliver the consistency agriculture manufacturers expect at every stage, from prototype to production.
Built for the Field – Components We Fabricate
Agriculture equipment runs in demanding environments, which means every component needs to be engineered for strength, reliability, and long-term performance. LMI fabricates a wide range of agriculture-ready parts and assemblies built to handle heavy loads, constant motion, and exposure to the elements.

All Under One Roof — Fabrication, Assembly & Finishing
Agriculture manufacturers work with tight production schedules, seasonal demand spikes, and equipment that must hold up under constant stress. That’s why partnering with a fabrication supplier who does everything under one roof creates a real advantage.
At LMI Manufacturing, our integrated production floor delivers consistent quality across every process: cutting, forming, welding, machining, assembly, and finishing. This way, your parts move smoothly from one stage to the next without delays or guesswork.
Our in-house capabilities include:
Note from Amy: when we build this, let’s use the same layout we have on the Metal Fab Services page:
Laser Cutting
Clean, precise cuts for complex shapes and thick materials
Turret Punching
Cost-effective part production with a deep tooling library
Press Brake Forming
Accurate bends for structural and functional components
Tube Bending
Formed tube assemblies for hydraulic and mechanical systems
Robotic & Manual Welding
Consistent weld quality for heavy-duty assemblies
Machining
Tight-tolerance features for moving parts and precision fits
Assembly
Multi-part assemblies delivered ready for integration
Finishing
Powder coating through our trusted partner for durable field use
By keeping nearly every step of production in-house, we help agriculture OEMs reduce lead times, maintain part consistency, and gain a transparent partner they can count on from prototype through full production.
When Uptime Matters, We Deliver Fast
In agriculture, downtime isn’t just inconvenient — it’s costly. When equipment goes down during planting, harvesting, or production cycles, every hour matters. That’s why agriculture manufacturers rely on partners who respond quickly, quote accurately, and deliver parts on time. LMI combines advanced quoting technology, streamlined workflows, and a highly experienced team to help keep your operation moving without interruptions.
Fast turnaround begins with fast quoting:
- Same-day or 24-hour quote acknowledgment
- Smart quoting technology for accurate pricing
- Two-business-day turnaround on quotes with SolidWorks files
- Clear communication so you always know where your project stands
And continues with dependable production performance:
- Rapid prototyping for testing and validation
- Consistent weld quality for heavy-use assemblies
- Reliable repeatability for long-term production runs
- In-house processes that reduce handoffs and delays
Whether you’re improving an existing design, replacing a critical component, or ramping up production, our team responds quickly so you can maintain uptime across your equipment and operations.
