Cummings & Bricker

What Cummings & Bricker does

Cummings & Bricker is a privately-held farm equipment distributor founded in 1961 and headquartered in Batavia, United States. The company does not manufacture equipment but functions as a multi-brand distribution intermediary, sourcing agricultural, forestry, landscaping, fencing, material handling, snow, and specialty equipment from 40+ OEMs — including McHale, Wallenstein, PECO, IDEAL (Applegate), Jaylor, Reist, Teagle, Dion, Berti, Brushwolf, and others — and channeling those products to end users through a network of 500+ dealers spanning the Northeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States across roughly 19+ states. Its portfolio is organized into 17 product categories, with hay tools (balers, bale wrappers, tedders, rakes, conditioners), forestry/woodlot management equipment, fencing tools, and grass/pasture equipment representing core lines. The longest-dated exclusive distribution relationship is with Wallenstein Equipment, established in 1999 when C&B became Wallenstein's first U.S. distributor.

The business model is hardware resale through dealer channels, with advertised unit pricing ranging from approximately $167 for low-end wire tools up to $76,873 for high-capacity 10-rotor tedders, and most equipment priced between $2,000 and $18,000. Revenue is generated through transactional equipment sales at dealer-facing margins; the company does not charge subscription or recurring fees. Customers are reached indirectly via a dealer locator on the company website (filtered by brand and zip code), supplemented by organic social channels (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, X), downloadable product brochures and catalogs, and a dealer login portal at dealers.cummingsandbricker.com. End customers are predominantly farmers, livestock operators, and agricultural operations with use cases spanning hay production, livestock feeding, land clearing, fencing installation, and material handling.

Cummings & Bricker operates as a lean distribution intermediary with 11–50 employees, no disclosed technology platform beyond a standard content-managed website, no proprietary software or data products, no APIs, no AI/ML components, and no public funding history. Its economic value is concentrated in the long-tenured manufacturer relationships, exclusive territorial distribution rights (e.g., for Wallenstein in 19 states), and the cumulative footprint of its dealer network built over more than 60 years of operation.
