Ag Mechanics
Toolkit is proud to offer the very best Ag Mechanics Training Systems for schools and workforce development programs.
The heartbeat of America’s farmland, nothing would be possible in modern agriculture practices with machinery and technicians who know how to operate, fix, repair, and maintain this machinery.
Ag Mechanics Job Outlook
Ag Mechanics refers to the people and technology that helps farmers and ranchers maintain their lands – from building or troubleshooting hydraulic circuits to welding or diagnosing/repairing a diesel engine.
Known as Agricultural Equipment Mechanic, Combine Mechanic, Dairy Equipment Mechanic, Dairy Equipment Repairer, Harvester Mechanic, Irrigation Equipment Mechanic, Milking Machine Mechanic, or Tractor Mechanic.
The overall job outlook for Farm Equipment Mechanic or Service Technician careers has been positive since 2004. Vacancies for this career have increased by 16.09 percent nationwide in that time, with an average growth of 1.01 percent per year. Demand for Farm Equipment Mechanics and Service Technicians is expected to go up, with an expected 5,580 new jobs filled by 2029. This represents an annual increase of 1.74 percent over the next few years
Toolkit is here to bring hands-on and exciting Ag Mechanics Training Systems to CTE classrooms.
