Hard Facing Wear Pads on a Fecon Mulching Head for Keeter Land Management

Fecon mulching heads take a serious beating. The wear pads on these machines are constantly grinding against wood, dirt, rocks, and debris - and when they wear down, your whole operation slows down with them. That's exactly the situation Keeter Land Management was dealing with.

We hard faced the wear pads on their Fecon mulching head to get it back up to spec. Hard facing is a welding process where we deposit a tough, wear-resistant material directly onto the surface of a part that takes heavy abrasion. Done right, it significantly extends the life of that component instead of you having to replace it outright.

You can see the finished rows of weld built up clean and consistent across the pad face. That's not just for looks - that pattern and buildup is exactly what gives the surface its hardness and durability. Every pass matters, and we take our time to make sure the coverage is solid and even across the whole pad.

For a company like Keeter Land Management that depends on this machine to stay productive, downtime is money out the door. Getting these wear pads hard faced instead of waiting on a full parts replacement is a smart move - it keeps costs down and gets the machine back in the field faster.

This is the kind of heavy equipment welding repair work we do regularly. Whether it's wear pads, cutting edges, buckets, or other high-abrasion components, we can help extend the life of your machinery and keep it working the way it should.
