The story behind Rite Way

Company founder Les Hulicsko built his first piece of farm equipment in 1972 out of his welding shop, where he fabricated miscellaneous ironworks. One of his employees encouraged him to build a rock picker, as farmers were eager to buy them. Les researched the rock picker market and found that there were two types of pickers – one to pick up small rocks, and one to pick larger rocks.

Les decided there must be a way to build a machine that could do both jobs, and concluded that a hydraulically-powered reel would be the answer. When others told him it simply wouldn’t work, he was determined to prove them wrong.

Not only was Les right – but hydraulically-powered reels are now the standard for the rock picker industry.

Since then, Rite Way has led the way in the development of durable, efficient and affordable farm equipment.

The patented field/transport pivot wheel system is the heart and soul of transporting, folding and unfolding today’s large farm machinery. And now, the patented FORWARD™ unfolding system makes it even easier for farmers to transport, fold and unfold their Rite Way equipment.

Rite Way has two locations. Its main plant is in Imperial, Saskatchewan where it is a major employer in the area. Its head office is in Regina, Saskatchewan, where the research and development and some of the production takes place
