- First Tractor Company Limited engages in the research, development, manufacturing, and sale of agricultural machinery and power machinery. Its core products include medium and large-sized wheeled tractors with horsepower ranging from 25 to over 100, crawler tractors designed for wet and soft soil conditions, off-road diesel engines ranging from 10KW to 450KW suitable for agricultural machinery and some construction and power generator applications, as well as component products including castings, forgings, gears, gearboxes, cylinder blocks, crankshafts, oil injection pumps, and nozzles. The company operates primarily in China, with an expanding presence in international markets such as Central Asia and the Outer Caucasus, alongside domestic sales. Founded in 1955 and headquartered in Luoyang, Henan Province, China, it is controlled by YTO Group Corporation and includes subsidiaries across manufacturing and trade sectors.
Recent major developments include an increased focus on intelligent and green manufacturing upgrades, launching projects to improve multifunctional tractor capacity and manufacturing high-efficiency, low-emission diesel engines. The company has ramped up R&D investments, successfully released batches of high-horsepower smart tractors in regions including Xinjiang and Northeast China, and initiated production of tractors adapted for hilly and mountainous terrains with successful deployments in Gansu Province. First Tractor has been actively expanding its product portfolio with advanced technologies such as power shift and continuously variable transmission (CVT) tractors and fuel cell wheeled tractors. Its sales structure is being optimized to respond to shifting agricultural mechanization trends favoring high-powered tractors, with domestic and export sales increasing despite challenges in some international markets like Russia. Strategic financial activities include receiving significant funding from Sinomach Finance and continuing cost control and efficiency improvements that have driven profitability growth in recent periods. The company maintains a broad manufacturing system for core tractor parts in-house, supporting high product quality and strong after-sales service networks nationally.
