Ransomes

The story of Ransomes began in 1789 with the establishment of an ironworks by Robert Ransome. As the twentieth century dawned, the company skillfully transitioned from crafting automobiles to pioneering farm tractors. In 1936, Ransomes unveiled the MG2, a compact crawler specifically designed for market gardening applications. Following the Second World War, the company achieved considerable acclaim with its versatile MG series of crawlers. By the mid-1960s, Ransomes strategically shifted its focus, ceasing crawler production to dedicate its resources to the development of premium lawn care equipment. Eventually, Ransomes became part of the Jacobsen family of brands.
