Hesston

Originally an American producer of equipment for harvesting and processing hay and animal feed, Hesston established itself as a key player in the agricultural sector. The Italian firm FIAT acquired Hesston in 1977, and subsequently initiated the importation of FIAT tractors into the United States beginning in 1980, leveraging the established Hesston name for distribution. Later, in 1991, AGCO completed the purchase of Hesston, marking a new chapter in the brand's history.
