Product overview

Yetter Manufacturing is a family-owned agricultural equipment manufacturer founded in 1930, producing a comprehensive portfolio of farm equipment under the Yetter Farm Equipment brand. The company operates from two manufacturing locations in Illinois (Colchester and Macomb) and serves customers in 40 countries through an extensive dealer network. The product portfolio centers on row cleaners (including the Air Adjust Series with ISOBUS-compatible pneumatic control), closing wheels (the patented 6200 Twister Closing Wheel and Furrow Max system), strip-till solutions (2984 Strip Freshener CC, Maverick HR Plus, and newly launched Rebel for Strip-Till), fertilizer equipment (10,000 Magnum, All Steer Cart, toolbar and planter-mount fertilizer openers), and harvest equipment (the patented 5000 Stalk Devastator stalk roller). In April 2026, Yetter acquired Martin-Till to expand its row cleaner and closing system offerings. The 2026 Farm Progress Show introduced new products including the Rebel strip-till unit, 7500 Narrow Fold Toolbar, and Falcon SF700 (a Kinze partnership product). The portfolio integrates with major planter brands including John Deere, Kinze, Case IH, White, and Monosem.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• John Deere (Deere & Company): Deere is the dominant full-line agriculture OEM offering planters, sprayers, and tillage equipment that overlap with Yetter's planter attachments and strip-till products. Yetter frequently integrates with Deere planters, making Deere both a customer and competitive benchmark.
• AGCO Corporation: AGCO (Sunflower, Massey Ferguson, White planter) competes across tillage and planting categories where Yetter's rotary hoes, coulters, and closing wheels compete for the same farmer budget.
• CNH Industrial (Case IH): Case IH, part of CNH Industrial, offers a broad tillage, planting, and fertilizer-application portfolio that overlaps with Yetter's strip-till, row-cleaner, and fertilizer-opener lines. Yetter's toolbar-mount row cleaners are explicitly compatible with Case IH applicators.

Direct peers

• Bourgault Industries: Bourgault is a Canadian tillage and seeding equipment manufacturer competing with Yetter in large-frame fertilizer applicators and strip-till toolbars, particularly in North American row-crop markets.
• Kinze Manufacturing: Kinze is a major independent planter manufacturer and a strategic co-development partner of Yetter (Falcon SF700). It is directly comparable because both serve row-crop farmers with planting and tillage equipment and collaborate on integrated strip-till solutions.
• AMCO Manufacturing: AMCO is listed as a sister company on Yetter's own website and produces tillage and hay-handling equipment that overlaps Yetter's rotary hoe and toolbar categories, indicating operational and product-line kinship.
• Great Plains Manufacturing (Kubota): Great Plains is a direct competitor in no-till drills, seedbed preparation, and fertilizer-application equipment. It is highly comparable because it sells comparable product categories through a similar independent dealer channel.

Emerging players

• Schaffert Industries: Schaffert manufactures planter attachments (closing wheels, fertilizer openers, row cleaners) that overlap with Yetter's planter-mount product families, serving similar no-till and strip-till farmers.
• Exapta Solutions: Exapta focuses on no-till seeding attachments and coulter/closing-wheel systems for U.S. Great Plains conditions, placing it in direct overlap with Yetter's planting-equipment lineup but at a much smaller, niche scale.
• Dawn Equipment Company: Dawn is a smaller, specialized competitor in row cleaners, closing systems, and fertilizer openers. It overlaps with Yetter's core product families but at a smaller scale and narrower channel presence.
