Case Ih Delivers Maxxum Tractors In Ethiopia

More than 40 Case IH Maxxum tractors were delivered to EthioLease in Ethiopia as part of a program to increase access to agricultural machinery for the country’s farmers.

This latest Case IH tractor delivery was part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) and EthioLease, signed in February 2020. As Ethiopia strives to increase the mechanization of its agriculture industry, smallholder farmers who are unable to purchase their own equipment will now have access to these tractors via ATA farmers’ mechanization centers. 

The delivery included 44 Maxxum 125 tractors featuring 126hp (93kW) rated engines, in a combination of cab and ROPS configurations. Designed for pure functionality, these Maxxum 125 tractors provide all the power needed for land preparation, cultivation, sowing and haulage, while being economical on fuel and intuitive to drive. 

“Over the last two years, Case IH has sold nearly 200 tractors in Ethiopia, increasing visibility of the brand and gaining the trust of the many farmers who are using our machinery,” Nardos Admasu, Case IH Business Manager for Ethiopia. “Our official distributor in Ethiopia, Wereta International Business PLC, will provide spare parts, expert service both in their workshop and in the customers’ fields, as well as operator training, ensuring that these Case IH Maxxum tractors remain productive in the field for many years to come.”
