innovative, customer-oriented and unique import products are admired by farmers, especially our Maxxum, Farmall C, Puma and Optum Series tractors which attract great interest with their compact designs." “Under our customeroriented approach, we come together with our dealers regularly for information exchange and a general assessment, and also to continuously improve the service quality of our dealers,” he said. A significant contributor to Case IH’s market share growth has been the new JXE Series tractor, which is manufactured in TürkTraktör’s Erenler plant. The new Series was launched in February 2020 and has proven to be incredibly popular. Mr Velharticky named the Farmall JX75C, JX100 and JX110 as the most popular
Case IH models during the sales results period, with each tractor boasting numerous features fulfilling requirements of farmers. So far during 2020, the Case IH brand has been most popular amongst farmers of Adana, Kayseri and Denizli. “Furthermore, farmers in Turkey have an easy way to own a Case IH tractor with low interest rates through our TürkTraktör Finance program,” Mr Velharticky said. “We are glad our large product range makes us one of the most preferred brands of farmers.” And it’s not just tractors that Case IH is known for, with the brand also offering a range of self-propelled sprayers, cotton pickers, large square and round balers, and tillage equipment.
