Fransgård Winches, Rakes, Swath Wilters and Mowers Dealer in Central New York

Fransgård Maskinfabrik makes machines for fields, forests and roads at its own factory in Denmark and counts its start from 1967. Clinton Tractor in Clinton, NY is a Fransgård dealer for Central New York farms, woodlots and contractors.

Forestry winches

Tractor-mounted winches for pulling logs, from the V series (3,000 to 6,500 kg of pull) and the W series (3 to 10 tonnes) to the hydraulically driven HW-3019. The maker says the simple mechanical parts keep wear costs low.

Swath wilters, rakes and crimper

Swath wilters, combi rakes and rotary rakes for grass, hay and straw, plus a crimper. Fransgård says its swath wilter has been developed since 2003 and that its rotary rakes are built for extreme conditions.

Disc mowers

Lift-suspended disc mowers in four widths. The maker says they work in many crops, in both large and small quantities, and make a wide, even cut.

Chain mowers

Chain mowers for forest roads, ditches, roadsides and brush, from excavator and crane-arm models to PTO-driven tractor models. The maker says they work as robust, flexible mulchers.

Grapple tongs and log grapples

Grapple tongs and log grapples for lifting, stacking and loading whole or cut logs. The VHZ-2300 adds a built-in 3-tonne winch for a 2-in-1 machine.

Fransgård history: a village blacksmith since 1967

Fransgård Maskinfabrik started in Fredbjerg, a village near Farsø in Denmark. Thorkild B. Fransgaard, a farmer's son, became an apprentice blacksmith in 1959 and took over the smithy eight years later.

The company says it has more than 50 years of experience in machines for fields, forests and road maintenance. It develops, designs and builds them at its own factory in Denmark.

  1. 1959Thorkild B. Fransgaard cycles from his parents' farm to become an apprentice blacksmith.
  2. 1967He takes over the blacksmith business at Fredbjerg; the company counts its start from this year.
  3. Early yearsFransgård shows its first side-delivery rake at an agricultural show in Herning and gets an order for 200 units from Sweden.
  4. NextThe company develops a winch together with professional Norwegian foresters.
  5. LaterSales work starts in North America through a Danish export company, and the products are shown at a trade fair in the USA.
  6. 50 yearsFransgård celebrates its 50th anniversary and says it will keep developing new products with its importers for forest, field and road.
