Today, we celebrate Jim Hellbusch on his induction into Lessiter Media’s 2026 Shortline Legends Hall of Fame.

Jim joined his father's small manufacturing business in 1969, bringing with him a commitment to building safe, innovative agricultural equipment designed to perform and last for generations. That dedication helped shape the strong foundation of Duo Lift Manufacturing, fuel the evolution of its product line and establish a legacy built on quality, innovation and an unwavering commitment to the agricultural industry.

Jim accepted this well-deserved honor during the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association (FEMA) Fall Convention, an organization to which he has devoted countless hours of leadership, service and support.

We are incredibly proud to see Jim recognized for a career defined by hard work, vision and dedication. His impact extends far beyond the equipment we've built. It lives on in the people, relationships and industry he has helped shape along the way.

Congratulations, Jim. This legacy is Built to Perform. Built to Last.
