At AgCom LLC, we specialize in high‑quality Houle Manure Tank Parts—offered through our partnership with Martin Welding—and we’re here to help you keep your farm running without a hitch.
Why Choosing the Right Parts Matters
A broken or worn component can bring your entire tank system to a standstill. That’s a headache nobody wants—lost hours, frustrated staff, and potential damage to the tank.
With the right Houle Manure Tank Parts, you’ll enjoy:
- Reliable performance: Components that fit perfectly and handle the demands of manure handling.
- Maximum uptime: Less downtime means faster turnaround and smoother operations.
- Better value: Investing in genuine parts saves on repairs and replacements in the long run.
Core Replacement Items You’ll Need
Whether you’re doing routine maintenance or handling a breakdown, here’s a handy overview of the most common replacement parts:
Seals and Gaskets
- Spare gaskets for hatches and covers: Essential to prevent odor escape and ensure airtight operation.
- Rubber seals for agitator shaft: Keeps moisture and debris out, extending component life.
Agitator Components
- Agitator blades or paddles: Worn paddles reduce mixing efficiency—timely replacement restores performance.
- Bearing assemblies: Keep the agitator rotating smoothly; worn bearings can strain the motor or cause noise.
Hydraulic and Fittings
- Hydraulic hoses and quick‑connect fittings: Vital for leak-free operation. Heat and manure wear out hoses quicker than you might expect.
- Valves and couplers: A quick failure here can halt operations—best to swap them early.
Structural & Wear Parts
- Lid latches and hinges: Rusty or loose components make sealing the tank a challenge.
- Wear plates: Especially helpful if your tank sees heavy or abrasive content.
A Real‑World Example: The Miller Family Dairy
Take the Millers—a family‑run dairy in Wisconsin. In spring 2025, they noticed their agitator blade had worn thin. That led to ineffective mixing, slowing manure agitation days.
AgCom LLC quickly supplied:
- A fresh agitator blade matched to their model,
- A new oil seal for the shaft, and
- A hydraulic hose kit (since it was due for replacement after three seasons).
They installed everything in under three hours with standard tools, and agitator performance returned to full strength. Their harvest and field treatment schedule stayed on track—no lost time, no frustration.
How to Choose the Right Parts
Think of this as a mini checklist before reordering:
- Identify the exact part:
- Check your tank’s model and serial number.
