History


Ransomes Jacobsen’s long history begins in 1789 when Robert Ransome started his iron-foundry business with only £200.  Then, in 1832, Ransomes built the world’s first lawn mower, the “Buddings Patent” and a turf care industry leader was born.  Since then, Ransomes and later Ransomes Jacobsen has taken pride in providing superior quality turf maintenance equipment to customers around the world.


Thanks to our unrivalled understanding of turf maintenance, equipment from Ransomes Jacobsen is trusted to maintain some of the world’s most prestigious and sacred areas, such as royal palace lawns, legendary golf courses, cemeteries, monuments and football pitches including those at the World Cup. As we look to the future of our industry, Ransomes Jacobsen will continue to build upon our legendary history through Quality, Innovation and Green Initiatives.
