Manufacturing Engineer

Since 1883, HCC has been a major innovator in agricultural harvesting equipment and farm equipment products, with the invention of the first commercial grain weigher, the H.D. Hume pickup reel, and the floating cutter bar.  Over the next century, the company expanded, diversified and merged with other cutting-edge agricultural firms to grow into the world’s largest producer of reels, sieves and chaffers for combines.  From our early days of Hart-Carter products, this company, which began with the vision of a Midwest farmer and a storekeeper, has held a close association with the market place to insure that every product is focused on productivity for harvesters.  Today, HCC manufactures agricultural harvesting equipment such as reels, sieves, chaffers and other innovative products for every combine need.  We supply sieves, chaffers, and reels to original farm equipment manufacturers for most every make and model of combine.  We work closely with these manufacturers to match our products with combine specifications and capacities.  HCC continues to develop and test new materials and new products designed for performance.  With over 100 years of experience and advances in technology, no one is more prepared to meet the needs of tomorrow’s farmers.
