Equipment Help Built for Bradley
Older blocks closer to Kankakee and newer subdivisions farther out in Bradley share a zip code, but rarely the same equipment needs. A 1950s ranch with a tired masonry fireplace calls for a different plan than a new build with a framed chase ready for an insert. Beyond the village, Kankakee County corn and soybean ground brings its own list: bins that need better aeration, unload systems near the end of their life, and a farm shop that leans on a dependable welder. Midwest Agri-Com handles all of it from one family-owned source, with welding supplies and equipment sales and service, grain handling and drying equipment, fireplace sales and installation, and wood and pellet stoves. Bring your questions to our Ottawa showroom and talk them through with people who know the work firsthand.
Our Service
Five Services Under One Roof
A contractor's truck and a grain operation on the county's edge need very different supplies, yet both can be outfitted from the same counter. On the welding side, you'll find torches, plasma cutters, welding wire, electrodes, filler rods, handles and fuel kits, plus sales and service on the machines themselves. For grain, the team designs and installs in-bin drying, grain handling and unload systems, elevator legs, stirring machines and bin stairs, then stays available for repair and maintenance. Inside the house, our hearth department offers fireplaces with wood mantels, cultured stone, brick and masonry designs, along with tools and accessories. Wood, gas, corn and pellet stoves come in cast iron, steel and soapstone. Installation, inspection, restoration and construction work round out the list, so one call can cover a project from first sketch to final check.

Why Bradley Neighbors Call Us
Big-box aisles give you a price tag, while a family business that has been serving customers since 1975 gives you a conversation. That difference shows up the moment you walk in. Personalized expert consultations come first, so the stove, dryer or welder you leave with fits your square footage, your bushels or your repair habits. Our experienced sales team and professional service crew have seen plenty of Kankakee County homes and farms, and they will tell you plainly what makes sense. You also get competitive pricing on quality products, which matters when you are weighing an upgrade against another season of patching. Free in-store estimates let you compare options with real numbers before committing. Nothing about the process is rushed, and you are never pushed toward more equipment than the job needs.

your questions answered
Find answers about our products and services.
Should I put an insert in my fireplace or add a freestanding stove?
An insert slides into an existing masonry fireplace and turns an open, drafty firebox into an efficient heater, using a liner up the old chimney. A freestanding stove sits out in the room, radiates heat in every direction and suits homes without a usable fireplace. Your floor plan, chimney condition and heating goals decide which fits.
Is MIG or stick welding better for repairing farm equipment?
Aeration needs depend on bin diameter, grain depth and the moisture you are storing at. Stored dry corn typically needs much less airflow than a bin used for drying, which moves far more air per bushel. A fan sized for your bin and storage plan keeps temperatures even and helps prevent crusting and spoilage.
How much aeration does a grain bin need to keep corn safe?
