Dawn Equipment Company is an American corporation based in Sycamore, Illinois, and is a manufacturer of tools for row crop planters, as well as fertilizer openers and Strip-till systems. Dawn's original product line was limited to "screw-adjust" row cleaners. As the company has grown, so has its product offerings. Dawn now manufactures several varieties of agricultural products including: Trashwheels Row Cleaners, Curvetine Closing Wheels, Row unit mounted coulters, the Gfx hydraulic trailing-arm floating row cleaner, the Rfx planter row unit down-pressure system, the 3004/3005 fertilizer opener, the Anhydra Universal Fertilizer Applicator, and the Pluribus Strip-till system. All Dawn products are manufactured in the United States of America, and raw materials are sourced through American Companies.
Dawn's corporate color is Navy Blue, typically set on a white backdrop. The Dawn flag, Dawn corporate literature/signage, and Dawn company vehicles/trailers all carry this color scheme. All Dawn equipment is powder coated black, and can be recognized by the unique screw-adjust handle which regulates height on most varieties of Trashwheels Row Cleaners.
