Company Philosophy
"We are all very proud of this remarkable achievement which is credited to the company philosophy of using the best technology available to produce technologically advanced, top quality, highly durable farm machinery. "

Business Operates
A very high proportion of the manufacturing is done in house including all machining and gear cutting, this means that specific drives can be manufactured for specific applications rather than compromising on a mass produced "off the shelf" drive. Accountability is very much a keyword in the Shelbourne manufacturing philosophy.

Shelbourne Reynolds commitment to innovation has leant itself well to the export market with over half of production being exported to over 50 countries worldwide.

The Kansas base was established in 1996 and serves as a sales office, machine storage facility and parts distribution centre. It supports all of Shelbourne`s customers in the USA and Canada. A team of mobile field support people spend most of the harvesting season in the field supporting customers and dealers.

Industry Leader: The Stripper Header
Shelbourne stripper headers were first sold in the US in 1990 in Kentucky. The concept quickly gained acceptance and sales took off. Initial sales were of 20 foot machines mostly in the Eastern states where the benefits of a fast, early harvest coupled with the benefits of planting soybeans straight back into the stripped straw were quickly recognized. machines were at the same time gaining acceptance in the rice growing states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Missouri. Here the benefits in terms of harvesting productivity were enormous.

The first 20 foot header sold in Kansas in 1993, was mainly as a disaster recovery tool to assist with harvest after hail storms had ripped through the wheat belt and laid large areas of crop on the ground. A 28 foot header was introduced in 1995 and once again sales surged of the wider machine as Western wheat belt farmers started to recognise the benefits of the stripped straw in their No-Till farming systems. It was at this point it was determined that a regional base was needed in order to provide parts and service advice to customers.
