The supply of tractors/machinery has been a challenge in the past two years for a range of reasons. The supply of tractors/machinery has been a challenge in the past two years for a range of reasons.

After machinery supply constraints in 2021 and into 2022, CNH Industrial has announced a return to healthy levels of stock at its New Zealand dealerships, particularly in the popular lower to midhorsepower sectors of the market.

Supply of Case IH Farmall, Puma and Maxxums, New Holland Boomer 25C, T4 and T7 tractors are strong, so customers in the market for a new tractor or needing an upgrade are being encouraged to act now.

“There’s no doubt supply of machinery has been a challenge in the past two years for a range of reasons, but the situation has significantly improved in recent months and we’re now seeing strong numbers of tractors available, particularly in our mid-size and compact ranges,” said James Perry, CNH Industrial NZ product manager.

“We’d like to thank customers for their patience during what’s been a challenging time for everyone, so it’s now pleasing to see tractors at of our dealerships, with stock continuing to come into the country.”

Perry noted that the recently arrived stock included the newly launched Boomer 25C compact tractor and the new JXM models for the Case IH Farmall range.

“Versatile, manoeuvrable, economical and robust can all be used to describe these Case IH and New Holland ranges, making them popular with customers after a handy utility machine, or as a main tractor capable of handling a range of tasks,” says Perry.
