Homelite lawn tractors

Homelite, an American company, specializes in the creation of robust outdoor power tools, with a particular reputation for its chainsaws. Established in 1921, Homelite initially ventured into chainsaw production in 1949, subsequently broadening its offerings to encompass a comprehensive range of outdoor equipment. By 1964, the company had begun distributing lawn mowers under its brand name. For many years, Allis-Chalmers, and later Simplicity, provided the bulk of Homelite’s lawn tractor supply, a relationship which continued until Homelite joined forces with Jacobsen in 1978. This arrangement concluded when John Deere acquired Homelite-Jacobsen in 1994, effectively discontinuing the Homelite name in the lawn tractor market. In 2001, Homelite transitioned ownership to Techtronic, a large industrial group based in China.
