who makes tractors

[TSO]

Regarding COMPACTS ... here's what I know regarding current tractor production (last time I checked).

Manufacturers selling as their own:
Kubota (Japan) - Makes/sells their own.
Daedong (S Korea) - Makes their own, sells as Kioti.
LS Mtron (S Korea) - Makes/sells their own.
Yanmar (Japan) - Makes/sells their own.
TYM "Tong Yang Moolsan" (S Korea) - Makes/sells their own.
Kukje Mfg (S Korea) - Makes their own, sells as Branson.
Mahindra (India) - Makes/sells SOME of their own.
Deere (US) - Apparently currently makes/sells their own.
Mitsubishi (Japan) - Makes their own, BUT not sold in US as Mitsubishi.
Iseki Mfg (Japan) - Makes their own, BUT not sold in US as Iseki.

Companies selling tractors built by someone else:
New Holland - LS makes nearly all of them.
Case - LS makes them.
Massey Ferguson (Parent AGCO) - All compacts (and most machines under 100 HP) made by Iseki Mfg.
McCormick - Currently, compacts built by Kukje Mfg (previously built by LS and Daedong).
Cabellas - Built by TYM.
Mahindra - Compacts built by TYM, Mitsubishi, and a few by themselves.
Bobcat - Compacts built by Daedong (no longer offered, deal expired).

... I think that's everybody.

Don't leave out
SDF (SAME DEUTZ FAHR)
or SL&H SAME Lamborghini Hurlimann. The 325 must certainly qualify as a compact.

Those dang Italians... they make most anything...;-)

Home - SDF

I remember seeing a Mitsu web page but I can't find it now.

As I remember it, the page I saw before was a UK page. There were several tractors listed that I compared my Mitsu built Mahindra to. They were virtually identical..

However, here's a page with a bunch of Mitsu tractors for sale.

I think it depends on your definition of "who makes the tractor".

My perception is that virtually all are assemblers to a certain extent. Probably Kubota makes most of the assemblies that go into their stuff, but I'm guessing certain subassemblies are sourced out.

All seem very good at hiding their alliances. For example, I've never been able to determine who makes the hydrostatic transmission in my LS R3039H.

It is too costly for any manufacturer to do the R&D on every component going into a SCUT or CUT. Margins are just too thin.

Mahindra & Mahindra are 1/3rd owners now in Mitsubishi Agricultural Machinery (MAM), now called Mitsubishi Mahindra Agricultural Machinery. So that muddies the water as far as who builds what. They have a website.

Branson, for being a relatively small player, makes a remarkable amount of their tractors themselves. As do most of the Japanese brands, Kubota, Yanmar, Iseki, etc.

Worldwide, Mahindra makes by far the majority of the tractors they sell. But in the USA, we have a big market for compact tractors and TYM/Mitsu provide a lot of units.

Another Kudo for TSO's listing. Very succinct.

"I think it depends on your definition of "who makes the tractor".<<<<<<<<<<We'll my definition is, a company builds a tractor, put there name on it, distributes them to dealers and has a web site to compare apples and oranges, any thing else don't count, now WHO does that leave besides Who's on first and What's on sec.?

I found out that New Holland has I believe 23 plants worldwide in various countries. My Workmaster 50 was made in India with an Italian engine and FEL made in Tennessee. That is spreading it around.
