Prioritizing adding value to Turkish agriculture and supporting farmers in every step it takes, LS Tractor, which is the Turkish Distributor of Yanmar Turkey, attracted great attention with its renewed technology and modern designs at the 20th AGROEXPO International Agriculture and Livestock Fair held in Izmir.
Yanmar Turkey, operating as the full subsidiary of Japanese giant Yanmar in our country, introduced the LS Tractor models, for which it has undertaken the Turkish distributorship as of 20, at the 2025th AGROEXPO International Agriculture and Livestock Fair held in Izmir this year.
Yanmar Turkey Agriculture Business Line and Business Development Director Murat Balkan Kanbir stated that LS Tractor models attracted great attention at the fair with their renewed technology, strong performance and modern designs, and said, “Turkish farmers have already known the LS brand closely for many years. Our farmers have been demanding LS tractors from us for a long time. We did not remain indifferent to the trust and excitement of our farmers in LS tractors and undertook the sale of LS tractors under the roof of Yanmar for the first time in the world. This excitement of our farmers was the greatest source of motivation for us. We now offer much more striking and efficient solutions with our new generation technologies.”
LS Tractor Aims to Gain a Strong Place in the Turkish Market
Stating that LS Tractor has been selected as the “Best Tractor Brand in America” in terms of general customer satisfaction, product and spare parts availability in the USA for many years, Kanbir continued as follows: “Turkey is the 4th largest market in the world, our goal at this point will be to gain a strong place in the Turkish market. We aim to bring the LS brand together with our farmers and dealers throughout Turkey in the most effective and powerful way. In this process, we are making comprehensive preparations in order to both meet the needs of our farmers in the best way and to offer a strong business partnership to our dealers. As of 2025, we will bring the superior technology, durability and performance features of LS Tractors to our farmers all around Türkiye with 10 different models that appeal to different needs.”
Intense dealership requests have arrived
Emphasizing that they had a productive fair period in all products, Kanbir said, “We shook hands with many dealer candidates in the domestic market and received intense dealership demands from many points in Türkiye. Our Solis, Yanmar, LS brand tractors and YTAgri equipment that we exhibited within Yanmar Turkey attracted great attention from both Turkish farmers and visitors from the countries we export to. We were met with intense interest throughout the fair with our innovative technologies, durability and efficiency-oriented solutions. We left the fair very satisfied with the products we offer for the needs of Turkish farmers, our wide product range and strong after-sales services. At the same time, the demands from our export markets were also extremely motivating for us. AGROEXPO was an efficient fair that once again revealed the power of our brands.”
There is a tractor for every need
Yanmar Turkey's LS tractor portfolio, which will start selling this year, includes the XJ, MT3 series models in the 35-60 horsepower range, which were developed to meet the needs of farmers working in small and narrow areas. It is estimated that the versatile and comfortable tractors will be greatly appreciated by farmers. The XU, MT60 and MT100 series tractors, which are in the 5-7 horsepower range, appeal to farmers with medium and large-scale businesses. These tractors stand out with their durable structure and premium features that take comfort to the next level. Yanmar Turkey also plans to bring LS Tractors to farmers under more favorable conditions with special launch campaigns to be held in the April-May period of 2025.
Farmers' new favorite: Yanmar YH700M combine harvester
Yanmar Turkey has also been highly appreciated by farmers with its Yanmar YH700M combine harvester in addition to LS Tractors. The new generation YH series combine harvester combines environmentally friendly technology and superior performance with its Yanmar branded 70-100 Horsepower Euro 5 engine. It offers maximum efficiency in products such as barley, wheat, rice and corn thanks to its different harvesting tables. It provides a comfortable working environment for long hours with its air-conditioned cabin. Its crawler design can work uninterruptedly on muddy and wet grounds. Independently moving crawlers provide effortless maneuvers on field edges with its tank rotation capability. It offers superior performance by providing the most suitable positioning of the machine in accordance with the terrain structure even on sloping terrain with its ground clearance adjustment. Yanmar YH700M keeps fuel consumption to a minimum thanks to its compact weight of 3.500 kilos, while facilitating the work of farmers with its fast and effective harvesting capability in small areas.
Yanmar Turkey also participated in the fair with its Solis and Yanmar tractors and YTAgri agricultural equipment, which are gaining more and more farmers' appreciation every passing day. In addition to the Solis 80, which is the market leader with a market share of over 26% in its segment, prominent products such as Solis 50, 60, 75 and 90, Yanmar YM 347 and 359, YTAgri equipment and automatic steering were the focus of attention of visitors.
