Electrical connections

Most farmers have experienced the frustration of a breakdown caused by a faulty electrical connection. With the complexity of modern machinery, it doesn't take much of a fault to bring thigs to a grinding halt.

Whether you are modifying or repairing wiring, the ability to make a reliable electrical connection is paramount.
