Moline, Illinois - Deere & Company., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, and Tarter USA., a farm equipment company, have launched a new range of American-made Frontier Flex Wing Rotary Cutters through a strategic manufacturing partnership aimed at strengthening domestic production and serving the evolving needs of agricultural operators.
The new product line is being manufactured at Tarter USA’s facility in Liberty, Kentucky, where advanced production systems such as precision laser cutting, robotic fabrication, and a combination of robotic and manual welding are used to support quality, efficiency, and scalable output.
