About Pivot Power
Nearly five decades of solving tough power problems.
A family-owned manufacturer in Sioux Falls, South Dakota — building diesel irrigation power units and generator sets since 1977.
Who We Are
Long-term relationships, not short-term margins.
Pivot Power has been building diesel irrigation power units and generator sets since 1977 — solving tough power challenges for farmers, operators, and dealers across the globe.
As a family-owned and operated manufacturer, every decision we make is rooted in long-term relationships. When you call us, you reach people who know the product and care about the outcome.
Our products run on nearly every continent. What started as a local South Dakota operation now serves dealers and end users across international markets — without losing the direct, personal service that defines how we work.
Our History
From a two-car garage to a five-acre campus.
1977
A two-car garage
Don Nix founds Pivot Power to deliver top-notch products and exceptional service to the agricultural industry.

One roof
After moving to the south side of Sioux Falls, every part of the operation is consolidated under one roof.
44,000
Square feet, five acres
Multiple expansions lead to a 44,000 sq. ft. facility on a five-acre campus — with room to keep growing.
Today
Still family owned
Nearly 1,200 dealers, units on nearly every continent, and engine packages serving industries well beyond agriculture.
