Since 1947

In 1947 Don Wright bought an Oliver pull-type combine and crossed into Colorado for his first custom cutting job. Three generations later the family still runs the same road, with modern John Deere iron, a fleet of Kenworths, and the same handshake.

What we do

Two trades. One family.

We harvest hard all summer. When the field work winds down, our Kenworths take to the road hauling cattle and farm equipment across the Midwest.

Our story

Don followed his father Joe, who built a 26-foot pull-type combine out of a threshing machine in the 1920s, into custom cutting. He cut his way from Oklahoma to Montana, built his own cabs out of angle iron and glass, and passed the work ethic down to his son Kent and the generation after.

Life on the crew

Work hard. Live well.

A harvest season is long. We make sure the hours off the combine are as good as the hours on it, clean trailers, real meals, and newer equipment that doesn't leave you stranded.
