Farm Equipment Servicing & Repairs

Hydraulic failure can start small and escalate quickly if not addressed. The most common signs include fluid leaks from hoses or fittings, reduced lifting power, strange noises like whining or knocking, and jerky or delayed movements in rams or steering systems. Operators may also notice oil contamination, a drop in pressure, or difficulty holding position.

On tractors, failure may show up as weak rear linkage, stiff loader controls, or power steering problems. In balers and sprayers, symptoms might include feed rollers stalling, booms not extending properly, or pumps struggling to maintain consistent output. Often, these early warning signs are ignored until the system fails completely.

Our agricultural engineers recommend routine inspection of seals, hoses, fluid colour, and control responsiveness. Any strange behaviour should be checked immediately to avoid extended downtime and costly repairs.

We provide diagnostic services using pressure gauges and thermal imaging to detect faults before they become failures. By addressing issues early, you can extend the life of your hydraulic components and keep your machinery working efficiently throughout the season.

Yes, we offer on-site resealing of hydraulic cylinders as part of our agricultural hydraulic repairs service. Resealing can restore function, stop leaks, and improve pressure retention - all without needing to remove the component in some cases.

When possible, our engineers will strip and rebuild the ram where it's installed, saving time and transport costs. We carry a broad selection of seals and tools in our mobile vans to match most ram types. This is particularly useful for loaders, sprayers, or balers where removing the cylinder would be time-consuming or disruptive.

The resealing process includes cleaning the rod and bore, replacing all worn seals, inspecting the gland and piston for wear, and reassembling to manufacturer specification. After resealing, we test the system for pressure retention and leak prevention.

If the rod is bent, pitted, or the bore is damaged, we’ll bring the cylinder to our workshop for honing, machining, or fabrication of new parts. Once refurbished, we reinstall and test the component.

We carry a wide range of hydraulic components in our mobile vans as part of our service. This includes hoses, seals, quick-release couplings, filters, hydraulic oil, O-rings, fittings, and some valves and cylinder parts.

Our aim is to complete repairs during the first visit whenever possible. To achieve this, our vans are stocked with versatile kits that cover the most common tractor, loader, and implement systems used on UK farms. If you’ve had a system fail unexpectedly, we can often diagnose and repair it on the spot.

For less common parts or specialist components, we have access to a trusted network of suppliers and manufacturers. We can order and usually receive parts within 24–48 hours, sometimes the same day. Our team communicates with you clearly so you always know what’s being ordered and when it will arrive.

We also offer parts upgrades, including reinforced hoses or corrosion-resistant fittings for machines that operate in wet or harsh environments. Whatever the requirement, our agricultural technicians make sure your machine gets the right parts - fast.

Hydraulic systems should ideally be inspected every 6 to 12 months depending on the workload, environment, and age of the machinery. For high-use agricultural equipment, we recommend checking fluid levels and visible components monthly, with a full system service at least annually.

Our team provides flexible service plans based on your farm's specific needs. For example, machines used daily through harvesting or feeding cycles will need more frequent checks than seasonally operated equipment.

A full hydraulic service includes changing filters, sampling and replacing oil if needed, pressure testing the system, inspecting hoses and fittings for damage, checking ram condition, and cleaning breather caps. Regular servicing helps prevent downtime and protects against costly breakdowns.

We offer preventative maintenance contracts that track your service schedule, issue reminders, and allow you to spread repair costs across the year. Many clients find this approach more manageable than facing unexpected expenses during peak seasons.

Preventative care is the most cost-effective way to ensure long-term performance from your hydraulic systems.

Our agricultural hydraulic repairs service is tailored specifically for farm operations. Unlike generic repair companies, we understand the working patterns, equipment types, and time constraints farmers face.

We offer 24/7 callouts because we know machinery can’t afford to sit idle. Our mobile vans are equipped to handle on-site repairs quickly - often in muddy fields or tight barns. We bring not just parts, but the right tools to cut, crimp, test, and reseal on the spot.

Our engineers are experienced with agricultural brands and systems including Massey Ferguson, JCB, Case, Claas, and more. Whether it’s loaders, rear linkages, balers, or feed conveyors — we’ve repaired them all.

You’ll also benefit from clear pricing, professional advice, and a long-term view. We don’t just fix the fault, we advise on future-proofing your system with better routing, cleaner fluids, or system upgrades.

Most of all, we know how important your time is. That’s why we treat every repair as urgent and get your machinery back in action as quickly as possible.

We provide agricultural hydraulic repairs throughout West Sussex and nearby regions. Our mobile service regularly covers:

• Chichester
• Bognor Regis
• Petersfield
• Winchester
• Southampton
• Arundel
• Littlehampton
• Midhurst
• Rural and coastal farms

If you’re based outside these areas, give us a call. We’re happy to travel further for large jobs or pre-booked servicing rounds. Our vans are fully independent, meaning we don’t need power or workshop facilities on site.

We work with dairy farms, arable contractors, mixed-use holdings, and smallholders alike. Whether you need urgent hydraulic hose repair or a scheduled system overhaul, our agricultural hydraulic repairs team can be there fast.

Let us know your location, equipment type, and urgency - and we’ll do the rest.
