Welding & Fabrication in De Graff, MN

Welding near De Graff
A weld shop that knows this corner of Swift County
Tucked along the rail line west of Sunburg and just a few miles from Benson, De Graff is the kind of place where most jobs are tied to the land — grain handling, tillage, livestock equipment, and the steady upkeep that comes with farming acreage. When something cracks, bends, or wears through out here, hauling it to a far-off shop costs you a day you don't have during planting or harvest.
That's where we come in. Our shop has years of hands-on experience across the metals and processes farm work demands, and we know how rural De Graff is laid out — the township roads, the long driveways, and the fact that the gear you need fixed is often too big or too pinned-down to move. We'll meet you where the work is, size it up straight, and get you a fix that holds.
Whether you're right in town, out on a section road toward Murdock, or closer to Benson, you get the same thing every time: clean welds, honest answers, and a free estimate before any work starts.
What we get called for
Common welding jobs in and around De Graff
De Graff runs on ag and acreage work, so that's most of what comes across the table. Here's what folks in the area call us for.
Farm equipment repair
Cracked frames, broken hitches, worn cultivator shanks, auger flighting, loader buckets, and grain cart welds — fixed fast so you're back in the field. See farm equipment welding.
Tillage & planter fixes
Reinforcing toolbars, rebuilding worn brackets, and patching sweeps and shanks before they fail mid-season on the heavy clay-loam ground around here.
Grain handling & bins
Auger repairs, leg and conveyor brackets, ladder and platform welds, and steel work around bin sites that takes a beating every fall.
Livestock & gate work
Bent gates, busted feeders, panel repairs, and custom brackets for the cattle and hog operations that dot the acreage near De Graff.
Trailers & hitches
Flatbed and gooseneck repairs, cracked tongues, fender and ramp welds, and new mounts so your trailer is road-ready and safe to haul.
Custom fabrication
Brackets, racks, skid frames, repair plates, and one-off steel pieces built to fit your setup. See custom fabrication.
Experienced & mobile
We bring the shop to your De Graff acreage
A lot of repairs out here don't move easily. A loader still on the tractor, a grain leg bolted in place, a frame that's bent on a machine sitting in the yard — those jobs are far simpler when the welder comes to you. Our truck is set up for on-site work, so we can run beads in the field, in the shed, or at the bin site without you loading and unloading heavy iron.
And when a job is better off on the bench — fine fab, tricky aluminum, or anything that needs a controlled setup — we'll bring it back to the shop and turn it around. Either way, you're working with a team that's seen the same failures over and over on farm gear and knows how to make a repair that lasts.
Metals & processes
The metals and welding we handle
From heavy farm steel to thin aluminum, we work across the materials and processes that come with rural Minnesota repair work.
Steel & mild steel
The backbone of farm repair — frames, brackets, plate, tubing, and structural fixes built to take a load.
Aluminum welding
Trailers, tanks, brackets, and lightweight builds done clean. See aluminum welding.
Stainless steel
Food-grade and corrosion-resistant work where a tidy, durable weld matters.
Cast iron repair
Older implement parts and castings repaired so you can keep good equipment running.
MIG, TIG & stick
We match the process to the metal and the job — strong on heavy iron, precise on thin stock.
Structural & repair
Reinforcement, rebuilds, and repair plate work on equipment and structures. See structural & repair.
