Our Heritage
Harper Turf can trace its origin back to the production of an innovative, two-wheeled, self-leveling mower by DewEze. The machine featured dual floating decks and was capable of mowing all types of terrain, including hillsides, crowns and ditches that most machines could not handle.
Offering many of the same safety and operator comfort features as the MC70, the 144 found a home in state, governmental and municipal markets.
DewEze Hydraulics rolls out the electric control valve, an adjustable flow regulator designed to maximize snow plow removal.
This innovative and rugged designed carried five big, round bales sideways or end to end while transporting from field to field.
DewEze Manufacturing is acquired by the Owosso Group.
The 660 Bale Loader bolt-on unit is brought to market, converting any flatbed into a round bale transport/feeder.
The automatic self-leveling system of the ATM72 keeps the operator, engine and controls upright for mowing on slopes up to 34 degrees.
OEM Division gives power on demand for markets in aerial lifting, wreckers, dump bodies and snow removal equipment.
Slide-in technology is updated to the 365 unit from the original 1976 design.
Ranchers turn their farm trucks into a versatile hay handling tool with the 300 Series Bale Bed
