Pre/Post Season Services

Following a regular maintenance schedule and preparing your equipment for the season will help reduce many small engine and equipment problems, as well as save you money on parts and repairs. Make good maintenance a habit. Zook Farm Equipment can help you stay on top of equipment repairs and maintenance throughout the season. We have many pre- and post season preventative maintenance programs designed to keep our equipment and yours running smooth.

Post Season Maintenance

Once a successful harvest is complete, we’ll inspect your grain handling systems for any issues or trouble-spots that may have developed over the course of the season. We correct those issues by repairing and/or replacing the necessary parts, usually doing so at a lower cost than if they were to be done during the season.  Call today to schedule yours!

Millwright Service

In addition to the standard maintenance service for grain management systems, we also provide general millwright service. Our millwright service is available to customers of any size and is performed by our highly trained technicians. Some, but not all, of our millwright services include: building conveyor systems, erecting towers, removal/replacement of floors, fans or heaters, custom fabrication and repairs of existing equipment.
