TWO MAJOR TRACTOR MAKERS FORM PARTNERSHIP

AGCO Corporation and SDF have signed a supply agreement that they say will offer farmers a streamlined low-mid range horsepower tractor portfolio for AGCO’s Massey Ferguson brand.

Beginning mid-year 2025, tractor specialist SDF will produce proprietary tractors with up to 80 horsepower for most global markets.

Luis Felli, senior vice president and general manager, Massey Ferguson, said, “We are extremely proud to have a partner like SDF who shares our passion for serving the world’s farmers. This partnership will strengthen Massey Ferguson’s position in the low-mid horsepower tractor segment globally, allowing us to provide more farmers with straightforward, dependable and high-quality equipment to drive their productivity and maximise profit.”

The companies say the new product range will be offered with various powertrain options to match diverse needs of customers and markets. AGCO expects the refreshed Massey Ferguson portfolio to help boost market share in the segment of up to 80 horsepower.

Alessandro Maritano, SDF chief commercial officer, added, “This confirms the value of our in-house expertise and know-how in designing and manufacturing proprietary core components, ensuring excellence and innovation worldwide."

The Massey Ferguson global distribution network will begin transitioning to the new offerings in mid-2025 in a phased approach across most global regions.
