ORTHMAN

In February 2023, the Orthman agricultural product line and manufacturing facilities in Nebraska were sold to Unverferth Manufacturing, a family-owned farm equipment manufacturer based in Kalida, Ohio. This transition ensures the Orthman brand will continue the long-time tradition of bringing farming innovations to the marketplace and will build high-quality, heavy-duty equipment for years to come. The Henry Orthman home place and Frontier manufacturing locations continue designing and building Orthman and other Unverferth product brands to this day... Orthman Manufacturing was founded in the mid-1960's by Henry Orthman, who was a farmer himself searching for better solutions for his family's operation in Lexington, Nebraska. Initially, 3-point hitch conversion products carried the business until the first complete row crop cultivator was built using a large diameter hollow toolbar. In 1972, Henry patented a folding toolbar design with hydraulic cylinders hidden inside the toolbar..
