Brown Mfg Corp. built the first tractor hitch mounted peanut digger, which allowed the peanut combine to be pulled through the field, eliminating the need to haul peanuts to the stationary peanut combine. The current owners, William P. Brown and Richard C. Brown, assumed the day to day operations of the company in 1975. They began to diversify the operation in 1979 with the addition of a new product line which is now known as the Brown Tree Cutter. The tree cutter is used for removing trees and brush from under utility power lines as well as for general land clearing. The outdoor power equipment division was added in 1985 to address the landscaping and mini trenching needs of the professional landscaper and the cable TV and satellite dish industry.
Farm machinery continues to be manufactured by the agriculture division.
These products consist of disc harrows, rotary cutters, tilt-bed trailers, round bale hay movers, and stabilizing courters for planters and cultivators. Thank you for visiting the Brown Manufacturing Corporation website.
