context_page_description: Iseki & Co., Ltd., based in Matsuyama and Tokyo, Japan, is the third largest Japanese agricultural machinery manufacturing company. Its products include tractors, planting and harvesting machinery, components, and engines.
  It was founded in 1926 as Iseki Farm Implement Trading Co. in Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan. It was incorporated in 1936 as Iseki & Co.
  Iseki began building tractors in 1961. Its tractors have been and are sold worldwide under various brands: AGCO, Bolens, Challenger, Massey Ferguson and White. Some models sold in Japan have been built by Landini of Italy and by Massey Ferguson in France.
  Early Tong Yang or TYM tractors were based on Iseki's designs and used Iseki's expertise.
  Iseki also has joint ventures with other companies, among them Donfeng Motor.
  Iseki have changed the way grass clippings are collected on their garden tractors. Unlike most machines where the grass is forced up over the transmission and other elements, the Iseki tractor has a system where the transmission is passed to the wheels by a series of chains, much like a rice paddy tractor.
