Harkness Equipment was founded by Jim and Doreen Harkness who were both raised on mixed farms near Harriston, Ontario. After 19 years of banking and plant management they decided to settle in Harriston. Jim and Doreen returned to their agricultural roots with mixed farming, beef cattle and cash crops. In 1977, they converted one of their barns to an office building, establishing Harkness Equipment. In 1982, the company was incorporated under Jim Harkness Equipment Ltd – known simply as Harkness Equipment Ltd. The second generation of Harkness’ undertake management roles in the company; Doug Harkness as the Retail Manager of Harkness Equipment Ltd and Jake Harkness as the Wholesale Manager of Harco Ag Equipment (our sister company).
