Two new Farmall models have been added to the Case IH tractor range, with the new recruits officially unveiled at the recent FarmFest field days in Toowoomba.
The Farmall JXM 55 and 65hp models will soon be available for customers in Australia and New Zealand, expanding the JXM range to four tractor options. The Farmall JXM range was launched into the local market in 2018 with the 75hp and 90hp models, joining the Farmall B, JX, C and M Series.
Case IH Australia and New Zealand Product Manager for Mid Horsepower & Compact Tractors, Seamus McCarthy, said the decision to bring the JXM Series to Australia and New Zealand four years ago was based on the needs of the hobby farmer and leisure market, and the latest lower horsepower additions would increase the range’s appeal.
“The Farmall JXM has the power and performance Farmall owners have come to expect, but in a very cost-effective package,” he said.
“With the addition of the 55hp and 65hp JXMs, the options are now even greater for those in the market for a low hp utility tractor to meet the needs of farmers with smaller landholdings, and looking for a reliable, robust machine at a very competitive price point,” he said.
“Since we introduced the JXM Series to our Australia/New Zealand range, it’s been very popular so we’ve listened to our customers and provided more choice within this segment. There is a demand for low hp models with a bigger frame and more weight and the 55hp and 65hp JXM’s will fit this market perfectly.”
McCarthy said the JXMs were well suited to a range of farming businesses, whether it be as the hard-working utility tractor in a bigger operation, or the go-to machine in a smaller farm business.
Some of the features of the new JXM models include:
The JXM models are only available in a ROPS canopy configuration.
McCarthy said the Farmall JXM stood apart from the other Farmall series because it offered value and productivity benefits across broad applications, but with a more basic operator interface.
“Our JXM Series is defined by the fact it’s a tractor up to a multitude of jobs in a variety of operations, which it carries out with maximum efficiency and minimum fuss,” he said.
The new JXM models are now available for order from local Case IH dealers.
