From humble beginnings of servicing machinery to manufacturing award-winning grain augers , GrainRite, or Jaeschke’s of Tarranyurk has come a long way in the farming industry.
Run by Ray and Maree Jaeschke, the company has built sold, serviced and reconditioned machinery including, but not limited to, headers, clover harvesters, combines, airseeders, boom sprays, bulk handling equipment, belt shifters and grain augers since the 1960s.
After accumulating years upon years of experience with machinery, the company made the natural move to engineering, building and manufacturing its own grain equipment-specifically grain augers in 2011.
Perhaps it was the years of working with farmers and thoroughly understanding their needs that the company managed to create grain augers which won the hearts of farmers nationwide. In fact, they were so popular that the company’s first year production sold out in a matter of weeks.
One of the models within its “The Green One” range, the GrainRite 60 inch self-propelled auger even snagged the 2012 Machine of the Year award at the annual Wimmera Field Days.
In this video, shot at the Mallee Machinery Field Days in Speed Victoria, Ray Jaeschke explains what sets the company’s products apart from the rest in the market.
