Price LogPro, LLC

The employee ownership of Price LogPro, LLC makes us unique as an O.E.M. in the forest products equipment business. We have found that this ownership interest gives our customers a big advantage and has stepped up the level of service from what we were able to provide in the past.

Price LogPro, LLC was birthed in 2008 when industry veterans Jim Krauss and Josh Krauss partnered with Baxley Equipment of Hot Springs, AR, to purchase the assets of Price Systems, Inc.  Baxley Equipment is operated by Chris Raybon, Russell Kennedy and Pat Conry, former partners of Hi-Tech Engineering, Inc., along with 13 other employee shareholders. The new company, Price LogPro, LLC, manufactures equipment at a 100,000+ sq.ft. plant in Hot Springs, AR

With over 400 years of combined forest products industry experience, Price LogPro will lead the way to a new industry standard in woodyard equipment.

Price LogPro was founded on the principle of supplying the industry heavy duty/reputable woodyard equipment with a proven background and innovative designs. This principle brought both Baxley Equipment and Price Systems together. Each company will utilize their own strengths and complimentary equipment lines in order to offer customers a balanced mix of steel fabrication and innovative technology. The addition of Jim and Josh Krauss’s wealth of experience coupled with the strengths of both Baxley and Price forms a complete one source solution for woodyard technology. Jim’s strong engineering background with over 34 years of working in the forest products industry form the level of engineering, leadership and experience needed for success. Josh has a well balanced engineering and sales background and the ability to work with customers and service their needs. We believe this is the right recipe for Price LogPro to successfully serve the industry needs.

At Price LogPro, “We’re building Tomorrow’s Woodyards…Today!” is more than a slogan. It is the catch phrase to describe the design rationale of our equipment and our continuing commitment to the industry we serve. Our reputation has been created and maintained by our firm commitment that our customers deserve only the very best.
