What a pleasure it was to have some students from Kainai High School come visit us yesterday afternoon! They are in a summer program called BTEST Ag Camp. For six weeks the grade 11, 12 and some college upgrading students, travel to different places throughout southern Alberta to learn about careers in agriculture. Shane gave them the tour of our shop, yard and offices explaining to them how many different career paths we have right here at Hanlon Ag Centre. From administration to heavy duty mechanics, there is many different opportunities in agriculture. In the future, hopefully we will see some of these faces in the industry!

Main Chain Maintenance – Big Square Baler

Maintenance Monday June 18, 2018

For this week’s Maintenance Monday we would like to remind you to check the tension of the main chain on your big square baler. This should be done daily as it can easily lose tension causing it to skip cogs on your baler. When this happens, your timing will be off which in turn can cause you to sacrifice bale quality. Check out this week’s video for the details.

Protect Your Windshields!

Maintenance Monday- June 11, 2018

Can you guess what’s wrong with the picture below? For this week’s Maintenance Monday we just want to send out a friendly reminder- storing toolboxes or other heavy objects in the front of your cab is never a great idea. It doesn’t take much for these objects to hit the glass. So keep those windshields in one piece and exercise a little caution when getting ready to head out for the day.
