Homelite lawn tractors
Homelite, an American company, specializes in the creation of robust outdoor power tools, with a particular reputation for its chainsaws. Established in 1921, Homelite initially ventured into chainsaw production in 1949, subsequently broadening its offerings to encompass a comprehensive range of outdoor equipment. By 1964, the company had begun distributing lawn mowers under its brand name. For many years, Allis-Chalmers, and later Simplicity, provided the bulk of Homelite’s lawn tractor supply, a relationship which continued until Homelite joined forces with Jacobsen in 1978. This arrangement concluded when John Deere acquired Homelite-Jacobsen in 1994, effectively discontinuing the Homelite name in the lawn tractor market. In 2001, Homelite transitioned ownership to Techtronic, a large industrial group based in China.

Ingersoll lawn tractors
The Ingersoll story began in 1983 with Jack Ingersoll’s acquisition of the Case Outdoor Power Equipment Division, a lineage that stretched back to the Colt garden tractors of the early 1960s. Maintaining production in Winneconne, Wisconsin, Ingersoll carried forward the tradition of crafting garden tractors, notably employing the innovative hydraulic drive systems first developed by Colt. After facing financial hardship, Ingersoll filed for bankruptcy in 2005, with Eastman Industries subsequently acquiring its assets. This led to a relocation of manufacturing operations to Portland, Maine, before Ingersoll Outdoor ultimately ceased operations in 2016.
