Compact tractors make

their debut

ase IH’s South African distributor, Northmec, showcased

the company’s full line of agricultural solutions, with

an impressive display of tractors (Quadtrac, Magnum

Rowtrac, Magnum CVT, Puma CVT, Maxxum, Farmall JX,

Farmall JXM, JXT and JXT Compact), combines (new Axial Flow 240

series) and hay and forage equipment (new Patriot sprayer series,

Ecolo Tiger) at this year’s NAMPO Harvest Day.

On top of this, the new JXT Compact tractors made their first

public appearance. The three new tractors – JX35T, JX40T and

JX45T – are all below 50 hp and offer the reliability, high performance

and productivity these tractors are known for. Recently launched,

the new compact models join the JXT series that consists of five

tractors ranging from 35 hp to 75 hp. The JXT series is ideally suited

for light cultivation, grassland or specialty crops and represent a

reliable and economical tractor line providing compact solutions to

the producer.

The largest of the three new models, the JX45T, was on Northmec’s

stand. With 47 hp at 2 300 rpm, the tractor is a true heavyweight in

its horsepower segment. It delivers a powerful performance that,

together with its weight, enables it to pull and control bigger loads.

The high hydraulic flow results in fast cycle times on scissor tip trail-

ers. With the independent and ground speed PTO, and the reliable

transmission, it provides an excellent solution for producers who

need a small yet powerful and reliable tractor.

The New Farmall JXM

Among the tractors on display, was another new model, the Farmall

JXM 90 tractor, synonymous of rock-solid reliability under every

working condition. The perfect balance between robust design and

rugged strength, these tractors are versatile and ideal for every

farming need. And, just because not all farming tasks are alike, these

machines come with a choice of transmissions to suit any applica-

tions and thanks to their great PTO they can work with a wide range

of tools and implements.

Exceeding customers’ expectations in terms of productivity and

profitability and supporting them with innovative products and ex-

cellent services is Case IH’s mission.
