BELLTEC INDUSTRIES
Our Story
-
Humble Beginnings - 1934
Glen Jones leaves the Iowa farm to open a hardware and implement store, later founding New Method Equipment Co., where he develops the Haymaster haystacker and early tractor-mounted loaders.
-
- 1945–1947
Glen launches Continental Farm Machine Co. in Minneapolis, producing a patented tractor-mounted posthole digger with depth‑control mechanisms. In 1947, operations shift to Belton, Texas, as Continental Belton Co. — managed by Glen’s son, Clyde Jones.
-
Innovation & Expansion - 1950s–1960s
Clyde becomes General Manager in Belton. The product line grows to include sprayers, stalk shredders, and agricultural implements.
-
- 1958–1980s
Clyde departs to form Mohawk Equipment Co., expanding into rotary cutters and tillage tools. By the mid‑1980s, both Continental and Mohawk are sold off but remain industry fixtures.
-
Birth of Belltec - 1988
Clyde, joined by his sons Donny and David, establishes Belltec Industries in Belton, TX. Their first product—a patented down-pressure posthole digger—quickly builds the brand’s reputation.
-
Focus on Earth-Boring Technology - 1990s–2000s
Belltec expands its product range to include hydraulic auger drives, auger bits, and rock‑drilling equipment, solidifying its reputation in the farming, construction, and utility sectors.
-
Innovation & Reliability - 2000s–Present
For over three decades, Belltec has refined its drilling tools—including four major auger‑drive series: LC, M, H, and HTLS—each dedicated to specific flow, pressure, and application requirements. The motto “Drill holes fast, where others fail” reflects Belltec’s commitment to tough terrains—from compacted soil to solid rock.
-
Built in Belton, Texas - Today
Belltec continues designing and manufacturing its complete line of drilling equipment—including posthole diggers, hydraulic auger drives, and consumables—from its Belton, TX facility. The company emphasizes rugged engineering, safety, and technical support for agriculture, construction, and utility industries.
