International Tractors Limited (ITL) has announced the launch the Solis-Yanmar range of tractors in association with Yanmar Agribusiness Co. Ltd. of Japan. Available in the 40 hp and above power range, the tractor range is expected to complement the current range of ITL tractors, which amounts to 50 models and over 100 variants under the Sonalika brand. Marking a new milestone in the relationship of the two (ITL and Yanmar) major players, the new tractor range comes against the backdrop of the Indian tractor market witnessing double-digit growth for the third consecutive year in FY2018-2019 at 878,476 units. The 14.1 per cent drop in tractor sales during April to June 2019, which marks the highest fall in four years should not be effective enough to lose hope that good times will soon be back. So, adding fuel to ITL’s ambition of selling 50,000 tractors in five years, and to open 400 dealerships in the next two years, the new SolisYanmar tractor range profits from the latest technology Yanmar has to offer. To spring 40 models and 80 variants, the new Solis Yanmar tractor range will address haulage and small farming requirements as well as specialised applications, according to Ken Okuyama, Director, Yanmar Holdings Co. Ltd.
