Daniel Best (b. 1838) founded the Best Manufacturing Company, a producer of farm machinery, in 1871. Best, who lost three fingers in a sawmill accident, became physically incapacitated and turned to inventing. He patented 41 inventions during his life, many related to the design of farm tractors. By the turn of the century, Best's tractors, produced in San Leandro, CA, would become some of the most dependable and prized in the West.
