Hesston lawn tractors

In the dawn of the 1970s, Hesston brought forth the Front Runner series—a pioneering range of front-mount mowing machines. The origins of the Front Runner can be traced back to Wood Brothers Manufacturing, an innovative company acquired by Hesston in 1969. Hesston oversaw production of these mowers at their Indianapolis facility for seven years, until 1976, at which point the entire Hesston lawn care division transitioned under the ownership of Toro.
