Hurdle After Hurdle: The Story of Yetter's Climb to Success

Apr 05, 2023

The late owner of Yetter Manufacturing, Pat Whalen, says it was a “natural progression,” the way that his grandfather first got the company off the ground and his grandparents were able to start the company in 1930 during the Great Depression.

“At the time, the tractors had steel wheels on them and they were prone to plug up with mud. Harry Yetter, my grandfather, came up with a device that would scrape the mud off,” Whalen says. “His neighbor saw it and it was one of those things that mushroomed from his farm to other farms.”

But that was just the very beginning for the family manufacturing business. Whalen recalls many other products that would be added into production over the coming years to help grow the company even more.

A new day begins, and with it come new challenges. ????? Now it’s all about decisions, not excuses. To make this work, tractors in modern agriculture must, above all, deliver reliably – 24/7 if necessary. The new AXION generation has been developed precisely to meet these tough demands. ??

Built to meet and even exceed the expectations of the most demanding users. ??

For drivers, the new AXION series offers the very best in technology. A completely new sense of space in one of the largest cabs in its class ensures optimal working conditions during long working days. To enable maximum focus, external noise has been consistently reduced to a minimum. ??

Equipped with more automation and assistance, these large tractors are ready for all farm operations. Thanks to the digital connection to CLAAS connect, you always have everything at a glance. ?? CEBIS connect also allows all functions to be controlled individually and precisely. The next step towards autonomy has thus already been successfully taken. ??

With extremely powerful hydraulics and improved fuel efficiency, the new AXION series is ready for anything – no matter what lies ahead. And with the right machine settings provided by CEMOS Assistance, low engine speeds even under full load, and balanced weight distribution, you’ll always stay in the green zone. ??

?? At harvest time, when it really counts, only uncompromising operational reliability matters. With even greater fuel capacity, the reliable and tried-and-tested CMATIC continuously variable transmission, and extended service intervals, the machine remains productive. ?? Maximum success requires a strong team of man and machine. It requires tractors that make your investment pay off. Because that is the only way to turn expectations into reality
