AgTrac farm tractors were a niche line of compact utility tractors imported into the United States between 2007 and 2009. Marketed by ARTRAC of Clarksville, Arkansas, these tractors were based on Chinese-made Dongfeng models and aimed at landowners looking for affordable, lightweight machinery for small-scale agriculture and property maintenance.
Prior to launching the AgTrac brand, ARTRAC had experience importing and servicing KAMA tractors, another Chinese manufacturer. Their familiarity with Chinese imports positioned them to introduce AgTrac as a reliable, American-supported version of Dongfeng’s global tractor offerings.
Brand Origins and Discontinuation
In 2006, ARTRAC reached an agreement with Dongfeng Agricultural Machinery Co., one of China’s oldest and largest tractor manufacturers, to rebrand and distribute selected models under the AgTrac name. These units were customized to meet U.S. standards and were assembled and serviced domestically.
However, due to changing import regulations, market competition, and limited brand traction, the AgTrac brand was discontinued by 2010.
AgTrac Tractor Models and Specs
AgTrac tractors were compact and ideal for mowing, tilling, grading, and other light-duty farm tasks. Below is a list of known models:
| Model | Horsepower | Years Produced |
|---|---|---|
| AT2514 | 25 hp | 2007 – 2009 |
| AT3024 | 30 hp | 2007 – 2009 |
| AT3814 | 35 hp | 2007 – 2009 |
These machines typically featured four-wheel drive, manual transmissions, and basic hydraulics, making them accessible and low-maintenance for rural users.
Features and Use Cases
- Economical pricing made AgTrac tractors attractive for new farmers and hobbyists
- Simple mechanics allowed for DIY repairs and minimal maintenance
- Compact size ideal for gardens, small farms, and livestock properties
- 3-point hitch compatibility for use with mowers, tillers, blades, and more
Although limited in production and no longer actively supported, many AgTrac tractors remain in operation today, often maintained by small tractor enthusiasts and independent mechanics.
Legacy and Support
While AgTrac farm tractors were discontinued over a decade ago, ARTRAC remains active in the compact tractor community. They continue to supply parts and limited support for existing AgTrac and KAMA units.
