How We Began...
In 1939 Walter Binkley began a feed and fertilizer store as well as a
fledgling tractor dealership in Rothsville, Lancaster County, PA. Years
later, David Binkley, Walter’s only son, joined the business which
became known as Walter Binkley & Son. The J.I. Case Farm &
Industrial product lines were eventually added to the Huber Tractor
line.
In 1973 Leonard Hurst and Amos Hurst, Jr, employees of David Binkley,
invested in the business and the company name, Binkley & Hurst
Brothers, Inc, was adopted. In the ensuing years Binkley & Hurst
Brothers Inc. evolved into a workforce of nearly seventy employees
supplying and servicing the agricultural equipment needs of Eastern
Pennsylvania and the surrounding area. In the 1990s Binkley & Hurst
developed a farm toy store, doing business
internationally with multiple toy brands and manufacturers. In 2005
“Outback Toys” moved into their own location in historic Lititz. The
6,000+ square foot showroom attracts visitors from around the world.

Over the
years,
numerous
specialty
lines of
agricultural
equipment
were
added to
the
Binkley
& Hurst
product
offering.
That led
to the
dealership’s
acquisition
of
contracts
with
Sunflower
Mfg.,
Kinze
Mfg.,
McCormick
and
others.
In 2006
senior
managers
of
Binkley
& Hurst
Bros.
Inc.
formed
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP
and
purchased
the
business
assets
from
Amos and
Leonard
Hurst.
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP is an
employee
owned
limited
partnership.
Don
Hoover,
long-time
sales
manager
at
Binkley
& Hurst
Bros.
Inc.,
serves
as
president.
In
addition
to Case
IH
products
and a
variety
of
specialty
products
like
Gehl,
Kinze,
Trioliet,
Apache
and
Landoll,
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP was
approved
as an
AGCO
dealer
in 2006
and
represents
the
following
AGCO
brands:
Massey
Ferguson,
Challenger, Fendt,
Gleaner,
RoGator,
TerraGator,
New
Idea,
Hesston
and Sunflower.
Farmers
are also
able to
order
parts
for
their
Allis
Chalmers,
Oliver,
White,
and AGCO
tractors.
New
chapters
were
written
in the
history
of
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP when
the
assets
of
Lebanon
Valley
Implement
Company,
a
neighboring
dealer
from
Lebanon
County,
Pa. were
purchased
by
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP in
October
2009. A
second
acquisition
in
January
2011,
brought
Web
Enterprises
of
Dayton,
Va. into
the
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP
family.
Several
product
lines
are
common
between
the
entities
and the
addition
of
complimentary
products
serves
to
enhance
the
range of
goods
and
services
offered
by
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP. The
next
addition
to the
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP
family
during
the
summer
of 2012
came in
the form
of an
AGCO
Applicators
center
along
Route
13, just
north of
Seaford,
Delaware.
This
will
enable
us to
enhance
our
service
to
applicator
customers
on the DelMarVa.
Also
added
during
the
summer
of 2012,
was a
rental-focused
location
near
Harrisonburg,
VA. The
facility
has
equipment
rental,
retail
and
service
for
Massey
Ferguson,
Gehl and
Ferris
lines of
equipment.
B&H
Carriers,
LP
was
formed
to
better
provide
for the
transport
needs of
the
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP
group.
B&H
Carriers
also
hauls
for
hire.
This way
the
transportation
capacity
of
Binkley
& Hurst,
LP
will not
only be
used
internally
but will
be
available
as a
service
to other
commercial
interests
in the
region.
