Pryde Inglis - Pryde Inglis Contracts

Pryde Inglis Contracts is a sports turf renovation and maintenance company, carrying out work for local authorities, sports clubs, golf courses and race tracks, throughout Victoria and New South Wales.  Over three years ago we imported a new type of soil aeration machine from Europe, the first of its kind in Victoria.  With this came the problem of either importing soil engaging blades or having them made locally.  A chance meeting with Shannon from TACA Metro at a field day made the second option very easy!!!

Shannon told me he had a hard facing product that would be as good as, if not better than the original blades which were fitted with a solid tungsten tile.  I was a bit hesitant about using the hard facing at first as I have had almost 30 years experience in agriculture and construction and I have seen and used most of the other types of hard facing on the market with poor results.  My doubts were to be proved wrong as the new blades outlasted the originals almost 3 times over, to which I have only used TACA coated blades since.

The story does not end there however, as both Shannon and Eric have over the past three years continued to improve and develop the quality of the parts they supply to me, in order for me to get the maximum usage/ profit from my blades.  I therefore cannot recommend TACA Metro enough, their service and attention to detail are second to none and I hope to do business with them for many years to come.

Brad Maisel - Sugar Cane Grower

"Our cane cutter disc's are doing in excess of 80,000 ton of sugar cane cutting in abrasive soil saving down time and achieving less cost as to wear parts and replacements. Having tried other tungsten hard facing on our sugar cane discs, the TACA application is far superior to any application we have ever tried. A Great Product".

Bill Boersma - Aussie-Drain

Aussie Drain specializes in the installation of subsurface land drainage, for sports field, agriculture and horticulture industries throughout Australia. Before TACA we had to hard-face our cutters once a day, now with the TACA process we have extended the life of our cutters by as much as 15 times.  We often throw away the chain and simply put the cutters on a new chain.We have been using TACA for several years and cannot recommend TACA enough as an effective solution to save on downtime and wear part costs, along with the helpful service and practical advice always available.

Kevin Donohue - Evans Quarries

"Without TACA the $700 wear-plate in our rock crusher would have to be replaced every week, taking the machine out of service for hours at a time with the resultant effect on production. With the TACA hard-facing process our wear-plate only needs to be replaced every 7 weeks and the plate itself can be re-surfaced with TACA up to 10 times, again with the resulting cost saving benefits. We estimate that by using TACA we have saved at least $100,000 in maintainence costs over the past 2 years."
