The Beginning Of The Bush Hog® Story
The story begins in 1951 in Selma, Alabama. At the time, clearing an area of land was a time-intensive and laborious process. It could take days! A tractor could be used to cut some brush, but dozens of workers would need to use hoes and axes to chop away the organic material.
Then comes along Bush Hog. The company developed an innovative implement that got attached to a tractor for quick and easy brush clearing. As the story goes, a farmer saw the implement in action and said "that thing eats bushes like a hog". The company got its memorable start and catchy name!
Showing The World Its Success
The first Bush Hog item off of assembly lines was the Model 12. This 5' wide rotary cutter came with a three-point lift and a stump jumper, which was used to clear land. It was built from heavy-gauge steel to ensure durability. At a cost of $320, many farmers could afford to make this upgrade to their agricultural work.
The first company salesman, Earl Goodwin, attached the Model 12 to his car. He drove it around to show off its effectiveness - and got plenty of sales as a result.
Growing Into Today's Legend
Bush Hog saw massive early success, but it didn't stop there. Over the years, the company continued to develop cutting-edge products to help improve farmer's processes. The product line grew into today's grand total of 17 product lines. The items are made in a 500,000 square-foot manufacturing facility, which is a shift from the original dirt-floor factory. Today, you can shop Bush Hog products at over 1,800 farm equipment dealerships!
