Farm equipment hydraulics, fixed in the field
Tractors, balers, swathers, loaders, feed mixers, harvesters, and pivot drives. The schedule bends around the farm calendar, because that is the whole point of a mobile truck.
Call (970) 528-6741Agriculture is why Longmont Mobile Hydraulics exists. The two-county seam around Longmont holds thousands of working farms, from Weld County row crop and dairy ground to the hay operations on Boulder County open space leases, and the equipment that works it cannot drive to a shop when a hose lets go mid-cutting.
The failures we see every season
- Baler and swather hoses chafed through at the frame, always with hay down
- Loader cylinders drifting on feedlot and dairy machines that never get a day off
- Feed mixer circuits dead at feeding time, the closest thing farming has to a fire alarm
- Harvester hydraulics chewed up mid-window on vegetable and onion ground near Fort Lupton
- Pivot corner drives and pump circuits weeping into the ditch they run beside
- Remotes and couplers on older tractors that a parts counter gave up on years ago
Old iron is welcome here
A large share of the tractors working this valley predate every subdivision around them, and they are exactly the machines a mobile hose truck serves best. We build hoses from bulk stock and match the thread off the failed fitting, so a 1987 loader gets the same one-trip fix as a machine still under warranty. When cylinders on old equipment give out, our cylinder service reseals them with kits matched to the measurements, not to a part number that stopped existing.
Between seasons, get ahead of it
The cheapest hydraulic repair is the one that happens in the yard in March. A preseason walk-through covers every hose, cylinder, and coupler on the fleet, and the batch pricing on the pricing page makes scheduled replacement meaningfully cheaper than the same hoses failing one by one across a season.
Farm equipment questions
- A hose blew on my baler and rain is coming. Are you actually faster than the dealer?
- For a hose, almost always. A dealer service call gets scheduled; our truck builds the hose at the baler. Hay deadlines are treated as emergencies and go to the front of the queue, and most of our ag coverage sees a truck within 15 to 35 minutes.
- Do you work on John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, and Kubota?
- Yes, and the older ones too. Hoses, cylinders, couplers, and remotes are standards-based even when the paint differs. We carry the JIC, o-ring, and metric ends the mixed fleets around Longmont actually use, including the ag quick couplers that get dragged through dirt all season.
- Can you check the whole fleet before planting or harvest?
- That is our favorite kind of call. A preseason walk-through flags cracked covers, weeping cylinders, and tired couplers, and we replace them scheduled instead of at midnight in a field. Most operations do this once or twice a year.
- My tractor remote will not release the implement coupler. Can you fix that on site?
- Usually yes. Stuck couplers are typically trapped pressure or a worn coupler body. We relieve the pressure safely, replace the coupler if it is done, and get the implement swapped without anyone hammering on a pressurized fitting.
