About Us

Treadstone Machinery Ltd. is the authorized dealer for Red Rhino Mini Crushers, Elho Scorpio Rock Pickers and Tornado Mulchers, BearClaw Heavy Duty Trailers, MetalCraft Scrapers, O’Connell Drainage, SD Drain RTK-GPS Technology, and Knegt Electric Tractors.

Treadstone Machinery was conceptualized in 2018 when the family run team at Dutchie Dirt Moving Ltd. saw an opportunity presented to fill a hole in the crushing machine market. Dutchie Dirt Moving Ltd. has been in business since 2001, serving the County of Lethbridge and surrounding area in southern Alberta. With a full line of excavation equipment and their own gravel pit, Dutchie has proven its capabilities to meet the challenge of any earth moving needs. The experience drawn from the years working in the agricultural, earth moving and aggregate industries in Southern Alberta through our sister company, Dutchie Dirt Moving, has provided us with the knowledge and experience that is so beneficial in an equipment dealer. We don’t only sell the machines we know how to work them too!

With our background in the aggregate industry it was only fitting to offer a quality line of crushers to the mix. The British designed and manufactured Red Rhino crushers, screeners, and conveyors fit this bill perfectly. These portable and innovative aggregate machines are great tools used in recycling concrete and other waste material in demolition and construction sites to help keep costs low.

Treadstone’s ties to the agriculture industry in Alberta led to its interest in the ELHO Scorpio rock picker. Treadstone Machinery ltd. recognized that stones in the field can cause huge costs every year when harvesting machines break down because of them. After some investigation, Treadstone Machinery Ltd. felt that the ELHO Scorpio rock picker would be a helpful solution to fix this problem. Manufactured in Finland, the ELHO Scorpio rock picker is a fully hydraulic driven stone collector. The recent addition of the powerful roadside ELHO Tornado mulchers rounds out the ELHO line which can be used for mowing steep ditches, brush and tree lines that may be encroaching in the field.

Coming from a background in excavation and earthworks has created our interest in the BearClaw cargo and construction trailers. These trailers are not your average light weight haulers. If you need to move a lot of dirt, clay soil, gravel, or even silage then the Bearclaw Dump Trailer is the right choice for you.

Treadstone Machinery has recently had the fortune of adding the smart yet simple MetalCraft Scrapers and Graders to our product offerings. These are sturdy earth moving equipment that laugh in the face of hard work and tricky terrains with clever, straightforward designs, making the toughest jobs feel like a walk in the park.

With our experience in field drainage, adding some quality drain tile solutions was a must. O'Connell Drainage tile plows and carts are an affordable yet innovative way to handle and install drainage tile geared towards drainage contractors and farmers to help them improve crop yields and profitability. With a wide variety of tile plow models, there is a plow to meet your needs, from the small 45 series plow, to the largest 70 Dual Link Commercial Grade plow.

To compliment our tile plow and scraper brands we are pleased to offer SD Drain Systems. SD Drain is a suite of machine control products used to implement surface and subsurface drainage solutions for agricultural applications. SD Drain systems use data from an RTK-GPS base/rover system to calculate the optimal drop to make water flow off your field. SD Drain Tile receives elevation data from your RTK-GPS receiver and automatically outputs signals to the hydraulics controlling your tile plow. SD Drain Ditch uses RTK-GPS data to create variable slope ditches where you move the least amount of soil to make water flow. SD Drain Ditch receives elevation data from your RTK GPS receiver and automatically outputs signals to the hydraulics that control your scraper.

Last but certainly not least, we are proud to introduce the Knegt electric compact tractors, the electric tractor of the future! Experience emission-free power and quiet performance with 100% electric driving. The ideal solution for sustainable and efficient working in every sector.
