Founded in Salina, Kansas, in 1976, Great Plains started out building planters, added tillage equipment to its lineup, and continued to expand through acquisitions until purchased by Kubota in 2016.
Read More (Great Plains)Great Plains Manufacturing built its reputation by offering high-quality, highly effective tillage, seeding, and planting equipment. The company was founded in 1976 by Roy Applequist, who built the company’s first 30-foot folding press drill. The Salina, Kansas manufacturer spent 10 years adding to its drill lineup before branching out in 1986 and launching its Land Pride range of grooming mowers, rotary tillers, rotary cutters, and landscape seeding and dirt-working equipment. In 2000, Great Plains expanded its product catalogue through its purchase of Kent Manufacturing, and in 2010 purchased Simba International, a UK-based manufacturer of cultivation equipment.
In 2016, Great Plains was acquired by Kubota, but maintains its headquarters in Salina, Kansas, and manufacturing facilities in central Kansas and Sleaford, England. The Great Plains name also encompasses a financing division, Great Plains Acceptance Corp., and Great Plains Trucking, which delivers products to dealers and brings raw materials to Great Plains manufacturing facilities.
You’ll find new and used Great Plains and Simba equipment for sale on Farm Machinery Locator, including vertical tillage systems, field cultivators, discs, harrows, seedbed conditioners, drills, air drills, compact drills, planters, and more.
