Jones Manufacturing co.
built from the ground up
Decades ago, a Nebraska farmer had a problem.
Nobody was building a grinder tough enough to handle the work.
So he built one himself.

Where It All Started
Nebraska Made, Operator Proven
Since the day Les Jones decided there had to be a better way, Jones Manufacturing Company has produced the most durable, high capacity, operator-oriented agricultural and industrial grinders in the world – the Mighty Giant Tub Grinder. You get over 90 years of hands-on in-the-field experience in every Mighty Giant we build.
Often imitated, innovation begins at Jones Manufacturing! Jones Manufacturing was the first with a hydraulic opening tub, we built our first unit in 1960, the first with an electronic governor, and the first with a hydrafork. From the single discharge auger, to the rubber lagged top-drive elevator no other grinder has the features, capacity and durability of a Mighty Giant.
New products and new features can sometimes lead to new problems. At Jones Manufacturing, we maintain a relationship with local operators to be sure that all features and designs are field-tested in the same environment our customers face. This same relationship gives us important feedback so that new designs and innovations are the result of experience, not marketing hype.
What Drives Us
Built On These Principles
Every decision at Jones Manufacturing traces back to three things: the operator, the machine, and the work. We do not build grinders from a boardroom. We build them from the field, the shop, and decades of hands-on experience.
01
Field-Tested First
Every feature on a Mighty Giant has been run in real production conditions before it ever reaches a customer. If it does not work in the field, it does not leave the shop.
02
Built To Last
We build machines that can handle high-capacity, high-hour demands without compromise. Out grinders have the ability to grind hay, forage, hemp, grain, fruit, nuts, wood, mulch, manure, plastics, biomass and a host of other materials. The operators who buy a Mighty Giant expect it to run for decades, and we build it that way.
03
Support When It Counts
When your grinder goes down, you need answers fast. Mighty Giant owners get direct access to the people who built their machine. Our parts team and repair team are the same people on the shop floor. That is the Mighty Giant difference.
Small but Mighty
SMALL COMPANY, BIG PRODUCTS
For decades, Mighty Giant has been proving that a small company can make a big impact. Our team combines generations of manufacturing experience with a commitment to innovation, producing equipment trusted by customers across the country and around the world.
While we've grown over the years, we've never lost sight of what sets us apart: quality craftsmanship, personal service, and products built to perform when it matters most. Every Mighty Giant machine reflects the values that have guided us from the beginning—hard work, integrity, and a dedication to helping our customers succeed.
Proud To Be Nebraska
Made Here. Built Right.
Nebraska is not just where we operate – it is who we are. The same work ethic that built this state runs through every machine that leaves our shop. We are proud to employ Nebraska workers, support Nebraska suppliers, and build a product that carries the Nebraska name into operations across the country and around the world.
When you buy a Mighty Giant, you are buying a machine built by people who understand what real work looks like -- because they show up to do it every single day.
