Dedicated to low-horsepower models, the new partnership with Indian manufacturer International Tractors Limited aims to expand the product portfolio of the AGCO Group brand.
Massey Ferguson, a global AGCO brand, and International Tractors Limited (ITL), among the world’s leading manufacturers of compact and low-horsepower tractors, are joining forces. The new partnership, announced in a joint press release by the two ag-equipment giants, centers on a strategic supply agreement for compact and low-horsepower models.
In essence, through this collaboration, Massey Ferguson will expand its portfolio with a competitively priced new tractor range designed to meet the needs of a broader customer base, while leveraging the significant manufacturing capabilities of ITL, home to brands like Solis and Sonalika. The partnership involves the supply of compact tractor models starting from 20 hp. For now, the initial rollout will target the Europe and Middle East (EME) region with a phased launch throughout 2027.
