Before it was a business, it was a farm. Before it was a product, it was a fix we built in our own shop. That same grit, pride, and problem-solving still drive everything we do today. Because when you build it like you’ll run it yourself, it lasts.

Every farmer’s been there- the moment when one rock, one sound, and one second turn into hours of lost time. That’s why every Wildfong part is built tougher and designed smarter, to keep you running when it matters most. Because harvest doesn’t stop for breakdowns.

There is a bit of difference between the maturity of Scepter and Mohawk. A frost mitigation strategy?? Wait and see how the respective yields play out.

From a six-hour combine clinic in 1979 to today, Wildfong has been built on one principle: engineered by farmers, for farmers. Every concave, beater, and component is designed, tested, and perfected with the farmer in mind because your harvest deserves parts that last.

Reliability. Real advice. The kind of parts that don’t leave you second-guessing halfway through the season. Because when things go sideways, you want gear that doesn’t - and a real person on the other end of the phone. Give us a call today 306.260.2833. #WildfongEnterprises
