Hesston
From Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki
In 1947, Lyle Yost founded Hesston Manufacturing Co. Hesston, KS. The company specialized in farm equipment, including self-propelled windrowers and the StakHand hay harvester. In 1991, the American-based equipment manufacturer AGCO Corporation purchased Hesston Manufacturing Co.
In 1977, Fiat purchased an interest in Hesston, and began importing Fiat tractors under the Hesston brand. Hay tools, self-propelled windrowers and skid-steer loaders were manufactured in Hesston, KS. In 1991, the hay tools and skid-steer loader portion of the business was purchased by AGCO, and the tractors were discontinued.
AGCO has moved the manufacturing of all combines and hay tools in North America to Hesston, so Gleaner, Challenger, Massey Ferguson and formerly New Idea combines and hay tools are all manufactured along-side Hesston-branded equipment.
