The Combine Doctor International as shown above is a registered trademark. The name was created in 1986. We were blessed and absolutely enjoyed providing the farmers and agricultural industry in Alberta and Saskatchewan with professional on-site vibration analysis, dynamic balancing and mechanical services for over 15 years — helping them get through the harvest by avoiding breakdowns. As a distributor for Balmac Inc. (vibration and balancing instruments) we urged many agricultural dealerships to make a small investment in training and equipment so that they could service the farmers better locally. Unfortunately, the response to having in-house balancing services from dealerships was weak, as long as we were able to work the very long days and drive thousands of kilometers every year.
In trying to localize our business and spend more time with family we had to stop this field service in 2000.
We now spend most of our service time working in Vancouver but training and sales can be done anywhere in Canada. So, if there is still interest in balancing training and instrument purchase in the agricultural industry please contact VIBES Corp where the Combine Doctor International is still helping Canadians in all industries.
We can teach you how to field dynamic balance all makes and types of rotating equipment inside the machine without major disassembly:
- choppers
- single rotors
- twin rotors
- cylinders
- shredders
- drives
- fans
- etc.
I look forward to hearing from the agricultural industry at any time and best of luck with the harvest this year.
