AGCO’s origins trace back to a pivotal moment when the American leadership team of Deutz-Allis acquired the North American operations, rebranding the entity as AGCO—an abbreviation of Allis-Gleaner Company. Initially, the production of AGCO’s range of lawn care solutions was entrusted to Simplicity, presently under the umbrella of Briggs & Stratton, operating under a licensing agreement to utilize the AGCO brand. These products effectively succeeded Simplicity’s former AGCO-Allis lawn equipment series. Starting in 2009, AGCO progressively moved away from employing the AGCO moniker in its branding.

In 1961, Allis Chalmers initiated a collaboration with Simplicity, tasking them with the manufacture of lawn and garden tractors. Shortly thereafter, Allis Chalmers acquired Simplicity outright, leading to the development of a comprehensive range of lawn tractors. A shift occurred in 1983 when Allis Chalmers divested itself of Simplicity, and subsequently, Allis Chalmers itself was taken over by Deutz. This marked a 25-year dormancy for the celebrated Allis-Chalmers name. However, in 2008, Briggs & Stratton – having become the proprietor of Simplicity – revived the Allis-Chalmers legacy, launching it anew with the innovative AC130 series of lawn tractors.
