After bringing the Summit Tractors brand to market and establishing its network of leading farm & ranch and home improvement retailers and the operations to manage it all, Summit Tractors and ITL joined forces to better serve its retailer customers, its tractor owners and its service partners. Now, ITL is not only the manufacturer of Summit brand tractors, they are now also the owner and distributor of the Summit Tractors brand. The Summit Tractors brand is now firmly established, and growing quickly.
