How it's made in the USA Ventrac Tractor

What happens here

Following laser cutting, employees, such as Harold, meticulously separate the cut metal parts from the main sheet. Subsequently, a Trumpf press brake machine is used by an employee named Rob to bend and form these flat components into specific angles and shapes required for the tractor's structure, ensuring precise dimensions.

Goal: Understand the shaping of metal components.
