Summary
Alberta-based startup Ursa Ag is manufacturing tractors with remanufactured 1990s diesel engines that have no electronics, selling them for about half the price of comparable machines from major manufacturers like John Deere and Case IH. The company uses 12-valve Cummins engines with mechanical fuel injection instead of modern electronic systems, appealing to farmers frustrated with complex, expensive-to-repair modern tractors. The company has received hundreds of inquiries from American farmers and is positioning itself as an alternative to high-tech, expensive agricultural equipment.

Not for a John Deere. Not for a Case IH. For a tractor built in Alberta with a remanufactured 1990s diesel engine and zero electronics.
