Land Pride Celebrates 30 Years
Land Pride has long been recognized as a leader
in the landscape and light construction industry

2016 marks 30 years in business for Land Pride www.landpride.com, a Division of Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc. Since beginning operations April 1, 1986, Land Pride has grown to employ hundreds of Kansans in communities across Central Kansas and produces some of the best-selling, durable 3-point implements in the world.

Land Pride has long been recognized as a leader in the landscape and light construction industry, as well as an industry-leading manufacturer of folding rotary cutters in 12, 15, and 20-foot widths.

As it approaches its 30th anniversary, Land Pride is also establishing itself as a major player in the manufacture of skid steer attachments.

The company's anniversary year celebration kicked off in Louisville, Kentucky at the 2016 National Farm Machinery Show, February 10-13, which coincides with Great Plains' 40th Anniversary. The Land Pride and Great Plains booths are always an impressive site in Louisville, but the 2016 versions highlighted both anniversaries with special signage, co-branded displays and over 50 implements occupying over 13,000 square feet.

As part of the anniversary celebration, several employee events are scheduled in April. Additionally, public tours of several Land Pride and Great Plains facilities are planned for late spring. Once plans are finalized, the community will be invited to tour several company locations, including walking tours of the production facilities and the opportunity to see a few of the machines working. Dates and further details will be announced.

Land Pride is based in Salina, Kansas and has manufacturing facilities across north central Kansas, with factories in Abilene, Kipp and Lucas, and a machine shop in Enterprise. Parts, service and research and development facilities are located in Salina, just a few blocks from the corporate headquarters. Land Pride's U.S. dealer network spans the country, with dealers also located in Canada and around the world. For more information about Land Pride visit.
