AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT

TYCROP was founded in 1978 by Gary & Elaine Teichrob, building farm equipment at the family dairy farm. The first problem solved was overcoming the challenges of harvesting forage from wet, muddy fields by designing a new unit that “floated” on larger aircraft tires reducing the impact and increasing harvest capacity.

The success of this product resulted in the creation of a line of agricultural equipment to help local dairy farmers work more efficiently.

TRANSPORT TRAILERS

TYCROP expanded its product offerings moving from the field and onto the roads in the early 1980’s. TYCROP started with trailers for hauling fertilizer and sawdust for the dairy industry.

A few years later, the company designed a new, super lightweight aluminum b-train trailer that maximized capacity for hauling wood chips from the sawmill to the pulp mill, changing the economics for customers across the industry.

Today, TYCROP Trailers operates out of its own facility in Sardis, BC, with a line of moving floor, tipper and self dumping trailer solutions.

GOLF & TURF EQUIPMENT

In 1989 TYCROP entered the golf and turf industry — redefining material handling capability and performance. By 2008, customers in 42 countries relied on TYCROP’s golf and turf equipment products to help them produce the best playing conditions for the lowest possible cost.

Toro bought the golf and turf division from TYCROP in 2009. To ensure the success of the transition, TYCROP continued manufacturing the products for the next 18 months and then assisted Toro with setting up their manufacturing operations in Tomah, WI.
