Iron Castings for Agriculture
Agriculture has been Kansas Castings’ single largest market since 1993. From soil-engaging tillage parts to gearbox housings on combines, we pour the cast iron components that keep farm equipment running through harvest after harvest.
Common Agricultural Castings We Pour
- Tillage and seeding wear parts — discs, sweeps, knives, points, and shovels in abrasion-resistant high-chrome white iron (ASTM A532)
- No-till seed drill components — including parts for partner programs like Cross Slot of New Zealand for the US market
- Planter and air-seeder hardware — closing wheels, scrapers, openers
- Combine and harvester wear parts — feeder house components, concave bars, cleaning shoe parts
- Gearbox housings, brackets, and pulleys in gray and ductile iron
- Irrigation pump and valve bodies
Why Cast Iron for Ag Equipment
Soil and crop residue are abrasive. Field equipment runs in dust, mud, and impact loads that fatigue welded fabrications and chew through ordinary steel. Cast iron — particularly high-chrome white iron in soil-engaging zones — outlasts the alternatives at a lower piece price once the pattern is in place. For non-wear parts, ductile iron gives ag OEMs the strength they need for load-bearing components without the cost of machined billets.
