In early 1947 Elton MacKissic, the local postmaster, started manufacturing bale hooks and plow trip rope releases in the cellar of his home. Eventually he started selling them in agricultural catalogs throughout the United States and Canada. In 1952 Mac expanded his product line with farm grain wagons which eventually evolved into the farm caterer, a mobile-on-the-farm hammermill and molasses blender. In 1955, MacKissic introduced free-swinging, reversible hammers which made hammermills even more efficient and led to the development of the Mighty Mac® Leaf Shredder for home gardeners.
In 1960 MacKissic introduced the only removable and interchangeable grinding screens for their leaf shredders, another MacKissic first.
In 1966 lawn and garden sprayers were introduced fully launching the Mighty Mac® line. In 1971 the Mighty Mac® Dealer-Distributor Organization was established. The next year the Mighty Mac® Chipper was added to the Leaf Shredder forming the patented Mighty Mac® Shredder-Chipper, the first to utilize a centrifugal clutch for easy starting.
In 1982 new products continued to be developed, such as leaf blowers, walk behind vacuums, and stump cutters.
In 1991 MacKissic acquired Merry Tiller®, a garden tiller with a legendary reputation for strength and durability.
The Easy Auger® product line was aquired from E-Z Industries in November 2001. The Easy Auger® was the first auger of this design type and was originally introduced in 1991; in 1996 the first self-propelled model was developed.
Today MacKissic manufactures under the brand names Mighty Mac®, Merry Tiller®, Easy Auger®, and Merry Commercial with products including shredder-chippers, leaf shredders, three point hitch shredder-chippers, lawn vacuums, leaf blowers, power sprayers, stump cutters, lawn dethatchers, mid-tine® roto tillers, rear tine roto tillers, brush mowers and one-man hydraulic earth drills.
