Agricultural
Equipment
Agricultural equipment operates in demanding conditions where durability and consistency are essential.
Iowa Spring supports agricultural manufacturers with spring solutions used in field equipment, planting systems, harvesting tools, and soil management machinery. Manufactured in the U.S. and delivered worldwide, our components help support reliable performance throughout the growing and harvesting seasons.
Spring Applications
Cultivators, Scrapers and Rock Pickers
Ground-engaging agricultural equipment relies on components that maintain consistent contact with soil and debris. Springs are commonly used in cultivators, scrapers, and rock pickers to apply controlled down pressure, allowing equipment to follow uneven terrain while protecting frames and working parts from excessive stress.
Harrow Tines
Harrow systems use heavy-duty components designed to withstand tough post-harvest conditions. Springs are commonly incorporated into harrow tines to support aggressive soil penetration and flexibility as equipment moves across fields. These systems are used to break up residue, level soil, and prepare fields for the next planting cycle.
Planters, Sprayers, Irrigation
Planting and application equipment relies on collapsible arms and booms that must deploy and retract reliably. Springs are commonly used in planters, sprayers, and irrigation systems to support folding mechanisms and controlled movement. Corrosion-resistant materials and finishes are often selected to withstand exposure to fertilizers, chemicals, moisture, and outdoor environments.
Hay Balers
Baling equipment depends on components that manage tension and movement during repeated cycles. Large diameter springs are commonly used in square and round hay balers to support bale formation, tensioning systems, and mechanical movement. These components are critical for maintaining consistent bale quality and reliable operation during peak harvest periods.
Stalk Stompers
Post-harvest residue management equipment relies on controlled down pressure to break down crop remains. Springs are commonly used in stalk stompers to apply force that helps crush cornstalks after harvest. These systems help reduce field debris while protecting tires and equipment from damage during subsequent field passes.
Lawn & Garden and Landscaping Equipment
Residential and commercial landscaping equipment uses springs in a variety of functional components. Common applications include mowers, aerators, spreaders, and other turf management tools where controlled movement and durability are required. Material and coating options are often selected to support outdoor exposure and frequent use.
