Keller® Snow Blowers

The first Keller® Snow Blower was manufactured in Rothsay, MN, by Louis Keller in 1949. It was designed to fit on John Deere and WD 45 Allis Chalmers tractors (these were the only tractors with live power).
Louis Keller fabricated approximately 18 snow blowers between 1948 and 1950.
The patent process was started and Farmhand Company was licensed to manufacture blowers. Farmhand began manufacturing blowers on a royalty basis in January 1953 at a cost of $398.00 per blower.
They sold a total of 34 blowers the first three months. Farmhand continued producing through 1961. Approximately 330 blowers were manufactured.
