There's always work to do on the farm and winter is no exception. Now's the time to get your ag equipment in top shape. With agriculture equipment prices sky high, it's more important than ever to keep your farm equipment running longer by protecting wear areas with UHMW poly. May Wes has thousands of low-cost ag parts and products that can potentially save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on farm equipment repairs and downtime. Check out a few of our top ideas for winter ag equipment repairs below:
A $195 Tool To Move Ag Equipment Around the Shed and Yard Much Faster
It's time for the spring shed shuffle! Do it faster with a Skid Hitch from May Wes. This handy universal skid loader trailer hitch receiver installs on any skidloader plate and is small enough to fit in your truck toolbox so you always have it when you need it. Why do you need it? Because you've got a lot of ag equipment to move in and out of your sheds and installing and uninstalling a big heavy trailer hitch attachment on your skidsteer is a pain in the rear.

A Fast Way to Save $10K - Don't Trash Your Combine Tracks
Corn stubble protection is not an option. Combine tires are close to $2K and a 30" combine track can cost you upwards of $10K to replace, not to mention lost time when its most inconvenient. Running your combine without stubble protection is just asking for a very expensive trip to the dealership during the middle of harvest. Why risk it when you can protect your combine tires and tracks for as little as $481 a row with May Wes G4 Stalk Stompers. Winter is the perfect time to install your Stalk Stompers if you've got your corn head in the shop anyway. It's an easy project that you can knock off in a couple of hours. If you buy a Skid Hitch with your G4 Stalk Stompers, you can get that corn header in the shed lickety split.
Speaking of Tires, Keep them Properly Inflated with LockNFlate
LockNFlate locking air chucks make it much easier and safer to inflate tires. No farm shop tool box should be without one.

Dozens of Inexpensive Products to Get More Harvests Out of Your Corn Head
We have numerous low-cost poly products keep your corn head running longer and more efficiently. Winter is a great time to install a poly liner under your corn head auger and replace wear items including Ear Savers, Snout Savers and Trash Aprons. If you run a John Deere 600/700 or C Series, check out our UHMW Row Divider Shields for John Deere corn heads. They will save you a ton of money versus replacing the factory John Deere row dividers. They've been featured on Larson Farms and the Minnesota Millennial Farmer. Keep your older corn heads running longer with fresh new GVL Poly Snouts.

Tired of Replacing Cheap Skid Shoes and Feeding Your Grain to the Deer? Insist on May Wes Virgin UHMW Poly Skid Shoes and Cover Those Rust Holes with a Poly Liner
Replace your worn out poly skid shoes with premium virgin UHMW poly skid shoes from May Wes. Our skid shoes are proudly made in U.S.A. in our Hutchinson, Minnesota plastic fabrication shop. We use only virgin UHMW. UHMW has the highest abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic in the world and will far outlast the cheap low quality HDPE or reprocessed UHMW skid shoes sold by some of our competitors. Don't waste your money on cheap skid shoes because you will just end up replacing them right away. Insist on the best skid shoes for your grain head, demand May Wes American made UHMW poly skid shoes.
If you have a MacDon, Case IH or New Holland grain head, get some May Wes compression molded UHMW poly cutterbar skid shoes on it so you can run closer to the ground with confidence. At $90 a 10 pack, it's a great investment to protect your grain head. You'll notice May Wes aftermarket MacDon Cutterbar Skid Shoes are thicker by the bolt holes and bridge point.
Winter also is a great time to slip a UHMW liner under your grain head auger. If you have holes in your auger floor, you're losing grain and feeding the deer. UHMW liners will feed that grain into your combine more evenly and are much easier and less expensive to install than replacing factory metal. We put in a new liner in Larson Farms' John Deere 635F a few years back.
A $299 Tool that Pays For Itself the First Day You Use It - Air Filter Blaster
Air filters are super expensive and if you're cleaning them with an air nozzle, you could rip them to shreds in a big hurry.

Air Filter Blaster was one of the first May Wes products featured by our friend Zach Johnson several years ago.
