Thirty years ago, Colin and Jacqui opened the doors to BPR Engineering in Corowa. They probably couldn’t have imagined all the people, places and opportunities that would come from that little engineering shop. BPR eventually became Aricks, growing from a local engineering business to supplying disc/air seeder parts to farmers around the world. From all of us on the Aricks crew, thank you. For the long hours, the risks you took, the knowledge you’ve shared and the opportunities you’ve given us. You’ve put so much of yourselves into this business, and we’re proud to be part of it. As you start to enjoy a bit more time for yourselves, we hope you can look at everything you’ve built and feel proud too. Your hard work has made a difference to a lot of people, including the ones who get to work alongside you. We’ve brought together a few familiar faces, memories and messages to celebrate the past 30 years. This one’s for you Col and Jacqui. Happy 30th, from the Aricks family❤️

Fresh 19-inch discs for this 1590 Box Drill in Deniliquin

We had Red E Ag’s Matt on home turf for a look around Aricks HQ. We couldn’t let him leave without checking out a few of the old favourites 🇦🇺📽️🚜

Reckon we’re giving @HarrisonSchust1 a run for his money👀🇦🇺

That’s a wrap in Somerton, NSW. New seed boots, seed tubes, press wheels, non-greasing axles, closing wheels, gauge wheels, bearings, depth-adjustment arms and plenty more.

🚨Worn-Out Wednesday 🚨 This week we’ve got a main frame caster rocker bush and its pin that have seen better days. Be honest, when you’re checking over your disc seeder, are you looking at these, or are you pretending they don’t exist because they’re a pain to get to? You can have your openers dialled in and every part ready to put seed in the slot, but if the frame’s off doing its own thing, all that work is a bit pointless. Before your next run, inspect your transport wheels and pivots by jacking and lifting the main frame off the ground and then give the pivot a wobble to check for slop. Yes, it’s an annoying job. Unfortunately, the suspects know that too 👀

The boys are into another in-house rebuild, this time a full set of openers sent down from Moree, NSW.

Earlier this year somewhere out Boree Creek way. New discs & closing wheel bushes installed to bring this drill back to life.

A few shots from our technician Glen 📸 This 36ft 1890 received new Aricks non-greasing axles and discs, along with disc hubs rebuilt and ready to get back to work.

We’ve been waiting for this reveal 🔥 The Aricks Australia sign is officially up at our Corowa headquarters. A massive thank you to Greg from Corowa Signs for making it happen.

Introducing Aricks In-House Rebuilds. Send your opener to our Corowa workshop and, once we’ve rebuilt it, we’ll cover the freight back to you. You handle the trip in. We handle the rebuild and the trip home.

Our GM Logan has made the trip to Saskatchewan and is catching up with the @ThunderstruckAg team at Ag in Motion. It's exciting to see the Aricks name continuing to grow across North America. Wishing the team a fantastic few days at the show! 🇦🇺🇨🇦
