Buffalo, NY – Feb 19th, 2025 – WoodMaxx Power Equipment, the veteran-founded manufacturer of American-made PTO equipment, announces its acquisition by The Back Forty Group, Inc., a company established by long-term WoodMaxx executives Tucker Smart and Adam MacBain.
The acquisition marks a strategic evolution for WoodMaxx, as the company plans to strengthen its direct-to-consumer focus while developing an innovative dealer network. This shift aims to enhance the personalized buying experience and customer support that has been the cornerstone of WoodMaxx’s success.
“WoodMaxx’s heritage of engineering excellence and customer-first approach will remain our foundation as we write this new chapter,” says Tucker Smart, President of The Back Forty Group. “Our vision extends beyond maintaining status quo – we’re positioning WoodMaxx to become the definitive name in tractor implements.”
Smart and MacBain, who previously led WoodMaxx’s Manufacturing and Engineering divisions, bring decades of combined experience to their new roles. Their intimate knowledge of WoodMaxx’s operations and customer base positions them uniquely to advance the brand while preserving its core values.
“This transition represents more than a change in ownership,” explains Adam MacBain, co-founder of The Back Forty Group. “We’re investing in a future where WoodMaxx’s reputation for quality and innovation reaches new heights. Our planned dealer network will strengthen the WoodMaxx community while providing unprecedented levels of local support.”
The Back Forty Group, named to reflect the customer-focused mission of maintaining “every acre with pride,” will continue WoodMaxx’s tradition of serving DIYers, homesteaders, and prosumers with American-designed and manufactured equipment. The company plans to expand its portfolio with complementary brands that match their high standards for safety, innovation, and durability.
“When customers choose WoodMaxx, they’re investing in equipment built to span generations,” adds Smart. “That commitment to lasting quality isn’t just a promise – it’s our legacy, and one we intend to build upon.”
