History

Frank Lessiter presenting Paul Schaffert with 1976 No-Till Farmer of the Year award

Paul Schaffert, CEO of Schaffert Mfg., started farming when he was in high school and from there he took it to the next level by designing innovative attachments.

In 1976, Paul was awarded the No-Till Farmer of the year and that granted him the exposure he needed to start his own business and promote non-traditional farming practices. Paul also became a Buffalo equipment dealer, giving him greater exposure to farmers wanting to try something new.

This was the real beginning of his short-line equipment company and that ultimately led to the development and patenting of several no-till planter attachments and related equipment.

In 2005, Paul received No-Till Farmer’s No-Till Innovator award in the area of Business & Service. This achievement recognized Paul’s exemplary leadership and contributions to advancement in no-till farming.

Today, Paul, along with his excellent staff, continually look for ways to improve farming practices

Testimonials

  • Dale C.

    I have used your Chicken Trackers for 2 years now on my CIH 1255 planter. They have greatly improved the closing of the seed trench over the OEM press wheels. They will bother a little in sticky conditions but not any worse than the mud buildup on the original press wheels. In good to dry conditions they do a great job. I would also like to comment on your employees. You have a top notch group. They’re all so friendly and helpful and willing to take time to treat me like I’m the most important person there. From the girls up front to everyone in assembly and particularly to Gage and Anthony upstairs for directing me and giving advice I needed on my Dosatron injection system. I sure appreciated doing business with your group.

  • J.V., Michigan

    We have recently ordered a part that was really needed, and Schaffert Mfg. took the liberty of sending the part overnight, and we received it the next morning. The part was sent from Nebraska to Michigan. This action is a great sign of outstanding customer service and is very appreciated.

  • Jake Krause, Nebraska

    I have Schaffert Mohawk closing wheels and was having trouble with a air pocket above the seed when planting a little wetter conditions, I thought it was the press wheels not doing a good job. I talked to Paul and watched a video on how to level the planter. I listened to the manufacturer on leveling the tongue when I needed to get the row unit level. I did exactly that and it was closing like a dream.

  • P.M., South Carolina

    Last winter you were kind enough to spend time explaining the operating principles and benefits of your 4-Link Closers and Rebounders. Having started no-tilling in 1972 (under variable and adverse soil conditions), I have a deep appreciation for products that perform under challenging circumstances. Thank you for your personal service and outstanding products!

  • B.K., Indiana

    The tech support has been the best part. When you call with a question you can actually talk to the owner. If your’re looking for versitility on your planter at a reasonable price, I recommend checking in to Schaffert products.

  • J.F., Illinois

    Thanks for all your help getting me started originally, and I appreciate all you do if I have questions or need parts. It’s nice to have a manufacturer that works hard to make their product work no matter what your situation is. Great products, great company.

  • C.S., Missouri

    I want to very sincerely thank you for delivering the balance of our order last Saturday. I can’t tell you how impressed I was with that action! I seem to spend a disproportionate amount of my life arguing with people over how they are going to correct their mistakes. In this case, I would not even classify it as a mistake. We simply had a miscommunication and you still went the extra mile to get me what I needed. I will remember that

  • D.S., Nebraska

    I have never had any better service from any company than Schaffert Manufacturing. If you call with a question, you can usually talk to Paul, the owner. Or if you have any problems with any of their products, they are handled very quickly, and more than fairly. If every company in the agriculture sector built as good of products, and stood behind them like this company does, my job as a producer would be much easier and more profitable.

  • B.D., Michigan

    I have used the “Out the Back” fertilizer system from Schaffert for six years now and plan to keep using them. The staff and owner at Schaffert are top notch. You couldn’t ask for better service. Great product!

  • M.D., Kentucky

    After testing Schaffert Products this spring, next year I will add more Schaffert Products on the planter. The results speak for themselves. If that wasn’t enough, their customer service is second to none. I am a pleased customer, but better yet, I’ll be a returning customer.
