ALUMINIUM CASTINGS IN AGRICULTURE
Lightweight revolution in agriculture
Fuel efficiency
The weight of agricultural machinery directly impacts its fuel consumption. Lightweight materials like aluminium sand casting products significantly reduce fuel usage.
Aluminium castings are used in modern agricultural machinery to explore new designs with more integrated functionality and larger dimensions whilst maintaining a low weight.
Lightweight sand casting products help minimise the immense pressure of the ever larger heavy machinery on the soil. This supports better soil health and preserves crop productivity.

Aluminium sand casting products play an increasingly important role in the manufacturing of agricultural equipment and vehicles like tractors or combine harvesters. Aluminium sand casting is vital in agricultural machinery for producing lightweight, complex, durable, and cost-effective components, enhancing the performance and efficiency of agricultural operations.
The agricultural landscape has evolved significantly and the challenges facing farmers have become more complex. We need to meet the increasing global demand for food while developing sustainable practices to protect our environment. Every element of agricultural equipment must be optimised for efficiency to meet these new demands.
We are your experts in manufacturing for complex agricultural machinery, that is durable, lightweight and reliable. At MGG Stahlhofen, we operate the largest sand casting line in Europe, producing castings up to 1.20 x 1.80 metres.
Take your agricultural machinery to the next level. Together we are changing the future of agriculture.
Advantages of aluminium sand casting for agriculture machinery
Increased design freedom
Preserving soil health and yields
High-quality sand casting for tractors and planters
When it comes to lightweight solutions in agriculture, replacing traditional iron castings with aluminium sand casting has proven to be groundbreaking. Aluminium’s unique combination of strength, durability and low density makes it ideal for the manufacture of state-of-the-art agricultural components such as tractors and combine harvesters, planters, ploughs and harrows.
Agricultural machinery often operates in harsh environments where components are exposed to moisture and corrosive substances. The natural corrosion resistance of aluminium ensures a longer service life and lower maintenance costs. Aluminium’s exceptional strength-to-weight ratio ensures that components can withstand the demands of challenging agricultural applications without adding unnecessary mass.

Precision sand casting for tailored agricultural machinery components
MGG is becoming a tier-one design and contract manufacturing partner with worldwide activities. Our competitive advantage comes from our in-house casting, machining and assembly capabilities. Next to our casting and machining businesses, MGG also has extensive high level assembly capabilities.
The connection with our clients is strongly reflected in our assembly operations. After the aluminium is cast and machined to perfection, we assemble the mechanical parts with electrical components to ready-made modules. By doing so, MGG accepts a large part of the logistical responsibility for the end products. For the assembly of complete machines or modules with strict requirements, MGG has an assembly room with ESD installed.
Aluminium sand casting enables the production of such intricate shapes and tailor-made designs, enabling us to meet the diverse requirements of agricultural machinery manufacturers.
Modern agricultural machinery such as tractors and combine harvesters require intricate designs and complex components. We develop your tractor or combine parts using advanced simulation technology to ensure the quality of your sand casting products right from the start. This allows us to identify potential problems long before production begins. We can then make design corrections.
We cast and machine your products in small or large volumes and also have the capabiltity to supply complete assembled modules. You receive your machines ready for use.
