1837 A Buffalo industrial legacy begins

Our heritage

Built from American ingenuity.

Before mechanized agriculture reshaped the American landscape, brothers John A. and Hiram A. Pitts were advancing a better way to separate grain from the harvest.

Their 1837 improvements to threshing machinery helped establish a manufacturing lineage that became closely identified with Buffalo, New York. From those early threshers, the enterprise grew into one of the best-known names in agricultural and industrial machinery.

Buffalo Pitts equipment traveled far beyond western New York. Its steam traction engines supplied mobile power for farms and work sites; its threshing machines accelerated harvests; and its steam road rollers helped build the transportation infrastructure of a rapidly industrializing era. Later tractors carried the name into a new generation of mechanized work.

Today, this independent digital resource preserves that history while applying the same practical spirit to modern equipment decisions: understand the work, select capable machinery, and put productive capital to use.

  1. 1837: John and Hiram Pitts secure landmark threshing-machine improvements.
  2. 19th century: Buffalo-built threshers expand into national and international agricultural markets.
  3. Steam era: Traction engines and road rollers extend the name into mobile and municipal power.
  4. Today: BuffaloPitts.com connects industrial history with modern machinery intelligence.

Finance the productive asset

Structure machinery around cash flow—not guesswork.

Equipment financing is more than finding a monthly payment. Asset life, utilization, maintenance exposure, tax treatment, and end-of-term flexibility all affect the real cost of capital. Our inquiry process helps organize those questions before a lender or dealer conversation.

Define the requirement Asset type, use case, budget, timing, and location.
Compare structures Purchase, term loan, finance lease, or operating lease.
Move with context Bring a clearer request to dealers, lenders, and specialists.
