Agco to import low-cost tractors for US farmers
By Doug Cameron in Chicago

Agco, the farm equipment maker, plans to start importing low-cost tractors from India to the US later this year to meet surging demand from so-called "rural lifestyle" farmers.

The US group will import Massey Ferguson-brand tractors, built in a joint venture with Tafe in Chennai, to compete with such rivals in the small tractor market as Deere and CNH (NYSE:CNH) . Mahindra & Mahindra, the Indian tractor maker, already exports some models to the US.

The move mirrors efforts by some carmakers to import from low-cost producers such as China to the US, although the market for small tractors is being driven by more affluent buyers.
