International tractor manufacturer carries on post-split
Despite the dissolution of a key joint venture, the world’s largest-selling farm tractor company by volume says a new product lineup will be rolling out over 2026 and 2027.
On March 6, Texas-based Mahindra Ag North America (MAGNA) announced a transition away from Mitsubishi Mahindra Agriculture (MMA), its ag equipment joint venture with Japanese-based conglomerate Mitsubishi.
A MAGNA news release called the move “a well-planned and strategic decision” that “reaffirmed Mahindra’s commitment to delivering high-quality products tailored to the North American market.”
The company plans to introduce several new products over the coming months, including utility tractor models ranging from 26 to 70 horsepower. The new products are intended to replace current models produced through the joint venture.
However, dealers and customers will continue to have access to MMA products throughout the transition. Mahindra also says it will provide ongoing support for existing products — including parts, warranty and service — for years to come.
“Throughout the course of the joint venture, the two companies collaborated extensively in research, product development and engineering,” read the release.
“Mahindra will continue to leverage the shared experience, data and knowledge to design, build and produce tractors that meet and exceed the expectations of its dealers and customers.”
According to a Reuters report, the joint venture has incurred losses “despite multiple structural measures aimed at restoring profitability.”
