Ingersoll lawn tractors

The Ingersoll story began in 1983 with Jack Ingersoll’s acquisition of the Case Outdoor Power Equipment Division, a lineage that stretched back to the Colt garden tractors of the early 1960s. Maintaining production in Winneconne, Wisconsin, Ingersoll carried forward the tradition of crafting garden tractors, notably employing the innovative hydraulic drive systems first developed by Colt. After facing financial hardship, Ingersoll filed for bankruptcy in 2005, with Eastman Industries subsequently acquiring its assets. This led to a relocation of manufacturing operations to Portland, Maine, before Ingersoll Outdoor ultimately ceased operations in 2016.
