JOHN BOWNES LTD added the Solis range of “budget” Tractors to their portfolio in 2016. “Whilst we still sell a good number of the traditional used scraper tractors every year, there seemed to be a general shortage of the typical 45-60 HP models required“ says Steve Lewis of John Bownes. “This is probably due to the fact that fewer new small tractors being sold over the past decade and there has generally been a good trade for export. The very tidy models are also fetching good prices from classic collectors.” After searching the market, the specification and quality of The SOLIS tractor fitted in with our requirements and is now very much part of the JOHN BOWNES portfolio. The SOLIS 50-2wd has been a good working tractor in the Dairy sector and has proved to be both a reliable and cost effective model.
SOLIS is the brand name of International Tractors Limited – the company was founded in 1969 and started producing tractors in 1995. They are the number 2 brand in India making 250 tractors every day with 80% of them being for the export market. When their new manufacturing plant is opened it will be able to produce upwards of 400 tractors a day. Known for their simplicity, strength and fuel economy in 75 countries across the world, they are now starting to make their presence felt in the UK. Current models include 20,26,50,60.75 and 90 with some exciting new models being launched in the near future.
