Brown Manufacturing Corporation
was founded in 1944 by Paul and Sara Brown. Their first product was a mule drawn log
skidding device which was well received by all the portable sawmill owners throughout the
southeast United States. In 1948 they began a transition from the logging industry to the
farm machine industry, as mechanization was rapidly moving to the farm.
Brown Mfg. Corp. was instrumental in mechanizing the digging and harvesting of peanuts.
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. Brown Mfg. Corp. has also built numerous other types of farm
equipment throughout the years, including rotary cutters, tilt-bed trailers, disc harrows,
post hole diggers, portable elevators, row crop cultivators, rolling cultivators, in-row
sub-soiling no till planters and a high residue cultivator to name a few.
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. The products manufactured in this division consist of three models of
mini-trenchers, a flowerbed edger, an industrial grade curb edger.
Farm machinery continues to be manufactured by the agriculture division. These products
consist of disc harrows, rotary cutters, and aerators for pastures, sod farms and sports fields.
The three divisions are co-located at the Ozark facility with each division having its own
marketing structure and sales staff Brown products are sold in every state in the United
States and the company has Tree Cutter and TRENCH MASTER distributors in 15 locations
internationally.
