 Baker & Sons Equipment Company was founded by John Baker in 1958, then primarily to cater to the area's agricultural interests. Baker & Sons Equipment Co. began carrying major brand equipment in 1961 beginning with Massey Ferguson and then New Holland and Bush Hog agricultural equipment. In the 1970's we took a major leap into the logging equipment industry with Franklin skidders, Hood knuckleboom loaders and Hydro-Ax brush cutters. As products were needed by the local industries and as Baker & Sons identified a market for them, they were added to our lines. In more recent years we have added many other respected equipment brands such as Kuhn, Kuhn Knight and Landpride, just to name a few of the agricultural lines. We have also been a successful forestry/landclearing dealer for the Duratech, Pitts, Barko, Rotobec, Sneller, CTR and CSI equipment lines. "Our customers are the backbone of our business and are very important to us, therefore, we are dedicated to providing them with dependable, low maintenance equipment."

Baker & Sons Equipment Co.'s agricultural equipment is managed by Steve Baker who is also President of Baker & Sons Equipment Co. Steve is responsible for the buying and selling of new and used agricultural equipment. The newest addition to our sales team is Roger Crum. Roger assists Steve in handling sales of agricultural equipment. Steve and Roger are available to answer questions regarding our agricultural equipment lines and if needed they can also arrange a demonstration of selected units.  

Since the loss of Greg Baker, Baker & Sons Equipment Co.'s logging and industrial equipment is managed by Greg Christy who has been taking care of customers in the southeastern part of Ohio and West Virginia since 1988 and specializes in the Hood knuckleboom loader and skidder lines. Frank Winland is a longtime employee who joined our sales force in 2003. Frank is responsible for the southern part of Ohio and is very knowledgeable with all of our equipment lines.

Our Parts Manager, Jeff Schnegg handles customer's requests for agricultural, forestry and industrial parts with the assistance of Mike Beckett, Zach Blackstone, and Kevin Marshall, who also manages our used parts department. We are committed to finding the best quality and most affordable parts for our customers and stress having a large inventory of original equipment parts and used parts for agricultural, forestry and land clearing equipment.

Our service department, managed by Mike Kuhn and Jessica Hoover, has factory trained mechanics who handle all major repairs and rebuilds, including transmissions, rear ends and engines. Jessica is also kept busy lining up service commitments and scheduling out our fleet of delivery and service trucks which are equipped and ready for service calls at all times.

Financing and leasing have become a very pertinent part of our agricultural, logging and industrial equipment departments' success. This allows our customers to make monthly payments to free up their cash flow. Baker & Sons Equipment Co. utilizes various finance companies as well as local banks and can offer a wide array of payments terms such as monthly, semiannual, annual and skip payments.
