European Tractors Sold In Rural Minnesota
You don’t expect to find a sales lot full of European tractors at a rural Minnesota dealership. But many of the used tractors at JB Tractors of Millerville, Minn., are just that, though they look exactly like the Deere, Case IH and New Holland tractors at other dealerships.
They actually are nearly identical and use parts that are readily available, says owner Jan Bart (Bas) Nijland. However, tractors sold in Europe have two-door entries, longer fenders, an extra parking brake and are geared for higher road speeds.
“Our customers like the road speed and other options,” Nijland says.
The Minnesota businessman is from Europe and has access to European tractors through his father’s implement dealership in the Netherlands. With his jbtractors.com website and ability to ship nationwide, location doesn’t matter, Nijland says.
Besides the European-style options, he emphasizes quality service.
“If there are any problems with the tractor’s engine or transmission within 30 hours or 30 days, we make sure we get the tractor back and we’ll fix it ourselves. We’ll make sure you get the tractor exactly the way you want,” Nijland adds, noting that tractors are customized to the customer’s needs.
He maintains a minimum of 50 tractors in inventory – Deere, Case IH, New Holland, McCormick and Massey Ferguson. Most are low hour, newer models with new tires, air conditioning and mechanical front wheel drive.
Prices are competitive, Nijland notes, and the extra options and warranty attract buyers from across the U.S. and Canada.
His website includes a video about the business and information/prices about the tractors available.
Nijland notes that the business was originally a tractor repair business that was respected for quality work. He and his wife, Anneke, plan to maintain that standard of quality with their dealership.
