Mobile welding in Headland, AL
Mobile welding repair in Headland, AL from a Dothan-based rig with published rates and a flat trip fee. Call (334) 686-0777 or send the form below.
Headland sits in the middle of the hardest-working farmland in the Wiregrass, and peanut country is welding country. Peanut diggers bend shanks in dry clay, shaker chains rip through their mounts, dump carts crack at the hinge plates, and grain trailers split their seams under one more season than they were built for. Every one of those failures happens in a field or a yard, not near a shop, which is why the rig comes to you. Dothan Welding Repair runs Headland as a first-ring service area: fifteen minutes up US-431 from our Dothan base, with the machine still hitched when we get there.
Harvest timing is the whole game out here. When September and October arrive, a broken digger is not an inconvenience, it is peanuts sitting in the ground while the weather decides your year. We hold field-call slots during harvest and take breakdown calls at (334) 686-0777 around the clock. The rest of the year, Headland work is steady maintenance: rebuilding bucket lips and bush hog decks, re-boxing trailer frames, hanging and squaring gates, and putting new legs under feeders and catch pens.
Our rates are published, which no welder serving Henry County can say. The hourly rate, the trip fee, and typical job ranges for implements and trailers are all on the cost page, so a Headland farm can put a number on a repair before calling. The quote you get on the phone comes off that table, and the invoice matches it.
The off-season rule Headland farms swear by
Book winter for the rebuild list. The smart Headland operations bring us their cracked implements in the December-to-February window when the machine can sit, the steel is cheap to schedule, and harvest slots are not burning. A digger re-shanked in January never becomes an October emergency.

What Headland farmers ask us
Can you fix a peanut digger in the field during harvest?
Yes, that is exactly what the rig exists for. Most digger failures are bent or cracked shanks, torn shaker mounts, and split frame welds, all repairable on site in a few hours. During September and October we hold harvest slots and answer the phone after dark, because peanuts in the ground do not wait on business hours.
What does a farm welding call cost near Headland?
The published rate is $85 to $125 per hour plus a $40 to $75 trip fee depending on distance, with a one-hour minimum. Typical implement repairs land between $150 and $600. The full table is on our cost page, and batching several repairs into one visit spreads the trip fee across all of them.
Do you weld cast iron gearbox housings and thick implement steel?
Yes. Cast repairs get pre-heat and nickel rod, thick shanks get beveled and multi-passed, and high-stress points get gusseted rather than just stitched back the way they broke. A repair that lasts one season is a repair we did wrong.
Can you build and hang farm gates and cattle panels?
Yes. Pipe gates, corral panels, head gate frames, and hanging posts set in concrete are standard Headland work. Built at your place from stock we carry, priced by the foot off the published table.
How fast can you get to Headland?
Fifteen minutes up US-431 on a normal day. Emergency breakdowns jump the queue; routine work usually books within two or three days. We are based in Dothan, not dispatching from Daphne or a national call center like the sites that rank for this area.
