New Holland equipment runs hard and runs on hydraulics, and when a machine goes down a dealer wait can cost you a week. Ames Hydraulics is the independent shop that does New Holland repair for farms, contractors, and operators across Central Iowa — the hydraulics, the machining, and the welding that keep New Holland equipment working. Free pickup and delivery within 60 miles of Ames.
New Holland Machines We Work On
Tractors, skid steers and compact track loaders, balers, manure spreaders, combines, and haytools. Whatever New Holland built, if it runs hydraulics or needs structural welding, it’s the kind of machine we fix every day.
What We Repair
- Hydraulic cylinders — lift, tilt, boom, and stick — resealed and rebuilt, pressure-tested
- Hydraulic pumps, drive and travel motors, valves, and power units
- Hoses and leaks — new assemblies made same-day
- Cracked booms, arms, buckets, frames, and attachments — welded and reinforced
- Quick couplers, pins, and bushings rebuilt
- Final drives and travel motors on tracked machines
Common Symptoms
Loader hydraulics that are slow or won’t hold are cylinder or pump problems; baler and haytool failures are often driveline, gearbox, and welding; and cracked frames and attachments need structural welding. Whatever it’s doing, we diagnose the real cause and quote it before we start, so a New Holland repair job doesn’t turn into a guessing game.
Tractors, Skid Steers, and a Lot of Balers
New Holland has a huge baler footprint in Iowa hay country, and balers are driveline, gearbox, pickup, and welding work — right in our wheelhouse. On the tractors and skid steers it’s loader cylinders and hydraulics; on the spreaders it’s chains, beaters, and gearboxes. We fix the whole New Holland line, and we can get a baler back together mid-season when a dealer can’t.
Independent — Faster and Often Cheaper Than a Dealer
We’re not a New Holland dealer, and that works in your favor: no long service queue, no dealer-only markup on a cylinder reseal or a welded bucket, and one shop that handles the hydraulics and the steel together. We source the parts to match and get your machine back to work. And because we service every brand, your New Holland equipment gets fixed right alongside the rest of your fleet.
