Phillips Acremaster Progress
The decision to take the plunge and re-enter the tractor market happened as the COVID era was finishing. Commercial chaos in relation to supply and transport hindered our preparation.
Early this year when we were poised to get started with production, Murphy’s Law took over. We lost five people from our small start-up crew. In spite of holdups to our progress we are now in a position to offer modern tractors 300kw (401HP) to 440kw (590HP) with no electronics.
Back To The Future
We will offer Deutz engines with mechanical governors driving a six speed powershift, using manual pneumatic control driving through three ranges allowing for tillage, harvest support and long distance travel.
The following three models are expected to be most popular – 330kw (443HP), 400kw (536HP) and 440kw (590HP).
Our current situation allows us to start taking orders for delivery before next seeding.
