Nelson Manufacturing Co. Location: Sibley, Osceola County, Iowa Primary Products:

  • Nelson Dump Racks (their flagship item)

  • Hay carriers

  • Grain racks

  • Wagon attachments

  • Farm‑handling equipment for loose hay, small grains, and fodder

Dump racks were designed to tilt and unload hay or grain quickly from a wagon bed—an essential tool before balers and elevators became widespread.

Most surviving references place Nelson Mfg. Co. in its prime between 1890–1920, with catalog listings continuing into the 1920s–1930s. They advertised heavily in farm journals and implement directories, often alongside regional competitors like:

  • Louden Machinery Co. (Fairfield, IA)

  • Sandwich Mfg. Co. (IL)

  • Minneapolis Steel & Machinery (MN)

Nelson’s niche was affordable, durable wagon‑mounted dump racks for small and medium farms.
