Meet Tyler Kuperus

If you have a big square baler or two, there’s a good chance you’ve had an opportunity to meet Tyler Kuperus. He services all types of equipment, however, balers are his specialty. “I like the big square balers,” said Tyler. “They’re fun to work on.”

Tyler has been with Hanlon as a service technician for four years now. Other than working on balers, Tyler says the best thing about his job are his fellow co-workers. “They’re good people to work with,” he said.

Tyler lives in Coaldale with his wife Amber and 5-month-old daughter named Sierra. When Tyler has a little spare time you will likely find him outdoors either dirt biking or fishing- a couple things he really enjoys.

We have an ongoing partnership with Lethbridge College through investment and our role on the advisory committee. Mike Anderson, our service department manager, and co-owner of Hanlon, sits on the board of the Agriculture and Heavy Equipment Technician committee.
