CELEBRATING 50 YEARS

LOOKING AT OUR PAST HISTORY

          Since its founding in 1960, Husky Farm Equipment Limited has been a leader in the design and production of manure handling equipment throughout the world. Raymond Grose, the president, originally founded the company known as Grose Welding Limited. From the first attempt to manufacture with a small welder and a blacksmith drill in a horse stall, with Ruth managing the books and feeding up to 4 employees for lunch, she became a partner in the dream. The farm land that Husky is located on evolved from milking a few cows, to feeding fat cattle to manufacturing. The name was changed in 1978 to "Husky Farm Equipment Limited" In 50 years the company has been involved in making Agitators,  Truck Mount Tankers, Liquid Manure Spreaders, Liquid Manure Pumps, Grader Blades, Bale Elevators, Feed Carts, Farrowing Crates, Barn Cleaner Elevators, Barn Cleaner Replacement Chain, Snow Throwers, Snow Blowers, Cow Stalls, Hog Pens and has represented several other manufacturers of farm and barn equipment. Ray saw a potential of handling manure in a liquid form and so from this came the start of a growing business in making Liquid Manure Equipment. After the equipment was built the search was on for a customers place to try it out. The place was found near Elmira where a farmer was using an auger to take liquid manure out of an underground tank , Ray hauled out the manure, the farmer said “I don’t know what you want for that but I’ll buy it”, the equipment was sold and the business was moving on. The first drawings were very little more than sketches, Some customers arrived at the office with an order for cow stalls or hog penning and the drawings would be sketched on a piece of plywood, gradually the equipment was standardized, drafting made parts books became more available. Husky is now owned by Gordon & Walter Grose. Husky has a goal to offer quality equipment and fast service, and our staff is dedicated to that goal. Shipping equipment to markets in Porta Richo, Russia, USA and Canada, after 50 years Husky feels blessed to have a wonderful farming family and the pleasure of dealing with people passionate about agricultural Although change in the industry has been constant , one thing has never changed, the Company's commitment to quality and performance, this philosophy has driven the Company for fifty years.
