Weighing Solutions for Every Farm Need
From all-in-one kits to custom builds, find the right setup for your operation.
Farm & Agriculture Kits
For operations that need an all-in-one setup, our Agriculture Kits (Ag Kits) bundle the load cells, indicator, and mounting hardware you need to get a weighing system running fast without piecing components together yourself.
Grain, Feed & Bulk Storage Weighing
If you store grain, feed, or fertilizer in silos or hoppers, load cell-based silo weighing gives you real-time visibility into stock levels helping you avoid overfills, run-outs, and guesswork.
Load cells are also increasingly built directly into farm machinery. See how they're used in seeding and fertilizing equipment to apply exact quantities and cut input waste.
Platform & Floor Scales for Farm Use
For weighing feed bags, produce, equipment, or general farm goods, our platform scales and floor scales offer a durable, easy-to-clean option that holds up to daily farm use.
Load Cells for Custom Agricultural Applications
Building or retrofitting your own weighing system: a hopper, a mixer wagon, Chaser Bins, feedmix bin, Sheep feeders, a custom feed system? Our load cells are suited to custom integration, and our Custom Solution Services team can help you design something that fits your exact setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a trade-approved (legal for trade) scale?
If you're buying, selling, or invoicing based on weight for example, selling livestock or grain by weight you generally need trade-approved (NMI-certified) equipment to stay compliant. Talk to our team and we'll point you to the right certified option.
How accurate do farm scales need to be?
It depends on the application. Dosing medication accurately requires tighter tolerances than general weight tracking. Tell us what you're weighing and we'll recommend equipment with the right accuracy class.
