AG COMPONENTS YOU CAN DEPEND ON TO RESIST WEAR AND TEAR
At Fisher Barton, we know what you’re up against. The agriculture industry will need new technologies to meet the demands of a hungry world while relying on increasingly scarce resources. Global food production is expected to increase by almost 70% by 2050. That requires agriculture wear products that run longer and operate more efficiently across the agricultural value chain. We’re at the forefront of developing this next generation of solutions.
Grain Harvesting
Fisher Barton leverages advanced surface engineering and vast materials knowledge to enhance the durability and efficiency of grain harvesting components, ensuring optimal performance in the field. We work with the world’s leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) to improve wear resistance and reduce weight in this critically important equipment.

Combine Header
Combine headers are designed to efficiently cut and gather crops, ensuring smooth material flow and minimal grain loss. Fisher Barton’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, wide variety of wear coatings, and strong understanding of material properties and heat treatment processes allow us to work with our customers to enhance the durability and performance of header components.
Stalk Rolls/Knives
Stalk rolls and stalk roll knives aggressively process corn stalks, improving residue breakdown and facilitating smooth harvesting. Our efficient machining, heat treatment, and coating processes are combined for a quality component.


Skid Plates
Skid plates provide height control and ground protection for combine headers, ensuring even cutting and reducing excessive wear.

Stalk Chopper Knives
Stalk chopper knives cut and shred crop residue, accelerating decomposition and preparing the field for the next planting season. Their sharp, durable edges ensure effective chopping in demanding conditions.


Belt Supports
Belt supports provide stability to belt-driven components in the header. Our wear coatings can be applied to these components for extended life.

Deck Plates
Deck plates regulate stalk and ear flow into the combine header, reducing grain loss and improving harvesting efficiency. Fisher Barton produces these components utilizing either a press or laser cutter, form, and hard-face weld in-house.

Combine Threshing and Separating
As crops are separated in the body of the combine, it’s important that components are delivering superior performance and longevity, optimizing the combine’s efficiency and throughput. Fisher Barton provides the manufacturing technologies needed to ensure threshing components meet the wear and impact requirements of this environment.
Elements/Rasp Bars
Threshing elements and rasp bars provide aggressive yet controlled grain threshing, removing the grain from the plant with minimal damage. Fisher Barton’s wear coatings and heat treatment processes enhance the durability and efficiency of these components, ensuring superior threshing performance.


Tines
Tines assist in crop separation by moving material efficiently through the threshing system, reducing grain loss. Fisher Barton’s wear coatings and heat treatment processes enhance the durability of these components.

Wear Plates
Used in various agriculture equipment applications, wear plates provide extended life to high wear areas. Fisher Barton’s heat treat and coating options provide superior performance.


Concave Bars
Concave bars play a crucial role in the threshing process by effectively separating grain from chaff. Fisher Barton’s precision engineering and advanced heat treatment and wear coating processes ensure these components deliver high performance and durability.


Flights
Flights control material movement inside the separator, ensuring an even flow for effective grain separation. Fisher Barton’s experience in forming and heat treating these components has been proven to provide superior, quality parts.


Coated Hardware
As the life of components is extended, it may also be necessary to extend the life of the hardware that secures the components. Fisher Barton can apply wear resistant coatings to bold heads to ensure adequate lifespan of hardware.

Combine Residue Management
Residue management involves processing and distributing crop residue after the grain has been separated. Fisher Barton’s manufacturing processes produce long-lasting components for superior residue management and reduced maintenance needs.
Paddles
Paddles assist in evenly distributing chaff and crop residue, preventing excessive buildup and promoting faster decomposition. With Fisher Barton’s advanced wear coatings and heat treatment, these paddles are built to withstand demanding conditions and ensure optimal distribution.

Stationary Knives
Stationary knives provide a cutting edge for chopping crop residue efficiently before discharge. Fisher Barton’s proprietary bevel process and heat treatment ensures these knives maintain sharpness and durability for effective residue management.


Swinging Chopping Knives
Swinging chopping knives enhance residue breakdown by providing flexible, high-speed chopping action. Fisher Barton’s wear coatings and heat treatment extend ensure these knives deliver quality performance, improving overall residue management.



Tillage, Soil Prep, and Planting
We improve the properties of metals and alloys using our expert heat treating techniques and with a wide variety of wear-resistant coatings to provide the most durable performance and wear characteristics in tillage, planting and fertilizing components.
Hay and Forage
We produce a wide range of components for forage harvesters, mower conditioners and balers by optimizing metals and alloys with specific heat treatments and wear coatings. We work with the world’s leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) to improve wear resistance and reduce weight in this critically important equipment.
Livestock Feeding
Feed Mixers are a critical component in every livestock operation. The use of wear resistant coatings on our patented MARBAIN® base metal extends the life of the knife component — satisfying your customers’ demand for durability and fewer replacements.
Tractor
Fisher Barton specializes in manufacturing high-performance wear parts for tractors, designed to withstand the rigors of agricultural work. Fisher Barton’s wear parts are essential for various components of the tractor, as well as the parts that support the applications, including soil preparation, planting, harvesting, and tillage.
Irrigation
Fisher Barton provides a range of wear products specifically designed for walking irrigation systems. These products are engineered to ensure reliable performance by withstanding the harsh conditions, the pressure and stress of continuous water flow, and constant movement associated with irrigation systems.
