MTD Products loves to mow down its foes. The outdoor power equipment manufacturer makes walk-behind and tractor mowers, snow throwers, edgers, and tillers for the residential market under the Cub Cadet, White Outdoor, Yard-Man, and Yard Machines brands; the MTD Pro line is aimed at commercial users. MTD's Mechanical Systems division also makes transmission systems for the appliance industry. The company owns 56% of Shiloh Industries, which bought MTD's auto parts division in 1999. In 2000 the company purchased four of Ryobi's gardening units for $73 million. MTD was formed in 1932 by German immigrants Theo Moll, Emil Jochum, and Erwin Gerhard as the Modern Tool and Die Company. The Moll family owns MTD.
