Stainless-Steel Meter Housings Resist Corrosion
 |
“OEM meter housings tend to be aluminum or steel, both of which will corrode, causing many underlying issues,” says Chris Voesenek, Agri Stainless Inc. sales manager. “Our stainless-steel housings not only eliminate corrosion issues but also last 10 times the life of original equipment parts.”
The meter boxes fit the John Deere 1900 and 1910 series carts along with those built by Flexi Coil and Case New Holland.
“Additionally, we don’t just replicate original parts in stainless but address all the gnawing issues farmers get frustrated with,” Voesenek says. “Whether it’s latches, seals, or something else, we try to improve the design so customers are confident in buying a lifetime part and not replacing pieces every year.”
The stainless-steel meter housings are produced and manufactured in Portage la Prairie and are available through multiple dealers in Alberta and Ontario. Agri Stainless is also interested in attracting more dealers in the U.S.
Voesenek explains they try to market their boxes at prices lower than OEM equipment. Even though the cost of stainless has gone up by almost 270 percent since 2020, they still sell their housings for less than the original dealer cost.
