     In 1983, Don Wurdinger started Farm Drainage Plows, Inc. in Waverly, Iowa when he had an idea for a tile plow design pulled by farm tractors. This was a very affordable way for farmers to install their own tile, especially in areas where there were few drainage contractors available. With his plows, Don has now helped countless farm operations improve their land and productivity with many of his machines still in use today.

​

     In 2008, Joe O'Connell bought the business from Don and changed the name to O'Connell Farm Drainage Plows, Inc. and moved it to Potosi, Wisconsin. Joe, along with his son Ryan, were able to add to the product line and bring in more technology to serve their customers.  They developed their line of Tile Stringer Carts along with a heavy duty Trench Closer. They also developed a Dual Link tile plow as a third design option giving customers a commercial grade tile plow at the drop of a pin.

​

     In 2022, Jake and Jenna Nicholson transitioned from an O'Connell dealer and purchased the business from Joe and changed the name to Legacy Equipment Co. based in Deer Creek, Illinois.  Honoring the work that Don and Joe did, along with all the other families that have made our lineup of equipment possible.

     Today we are continuing to add to the product line that gives our customers the choices in equipment and technology that best fit them and their operations.
