About Us

We are a family-owned and operated business that specializes in repairing and maintaining pre-electronic tractors, combines, and equipment for local Ontario farmers. Owner Clark Weppler founded Weppler Farm Machinery in 2009, but has been building this business to what it is today since 1992. The company is currently located in the old Fisher Poultry Hatchery that has been transformed into a fully equipped machine shop.

Clark, who refers to himself as a "Millwright" of vintage farm machinery, has been fixing equipment since he was 13 years old, and spent his 20's gaining extensive experience repairing radiators and engines at shops in Hanover and Listowel. Today, with the help of his family, Weppler Farm Machinery not only repairs machinery but also makes expensive, obsolete or hard-to-find parts for older machines.

We are not just a business, but also a family affair, with Clark's wife Agnes and their three children all involved in some capacity. Charlene, who holds a bachelor's in French Studies and a bachelor's in education, helps in the office and around the shop during the summer. Natasha, who has a bachelor's of medical sciences, also assists in the office and shop while pursuing her master's degree in Plant Agriculture at the University of Guelph. Daniel, who has been learning the skills of the trade since he was seven years old, is currently studying mechanical engineering at the University of Western Ontario in London.

Weppler Farm Machinery's commitment to quality, expertise, and personalized service has made it a trusted partner for local farmers. We want to build strong relationships for the long term. With a deep understanding of vintage farm machinery, the company offers reliable and affordable repair and maintenance services that help farmers keep their equipment running efficiently and effectively.
