Walter Binkley began selling
Huber tractors and livestock
feeds in the Lititz area. In 1975,
his son David Binkley teamed up
with brothers Leonard and Amos
Hurst, Jr., to launch Binkley &
Hurst Bros.
The company has evolved into
a dealer of seven major brands of
farm equipment throughout the
Mid-Atlantic region today, with
SO employees and a strong focus
on service.
“We built the business on serv
ice,” Hoover said. He noted that
the company provides follow-up
service on every machine it sells,
as well as repair work on other
“brand X” equipment.
Included in the company’s
lineup are Case-IH and McCor
mick tractors, Kinze planters,
