Weaknesses

Overall

Strengths For parts contact 573-756-4353 Very nice tractor and has good quality.

Weaknesses Reliabale. Doesnt sound like, look like or run like any other chinese tractor coming to the US.

Overall Great quality for the price. Much better then most.

Strengths cheap, strong and very reliable, easy to maintain.

Weaknesses finishing could be better and gear shifting smoother. Meters very basic

Overall overall a brilliant tractor with amazing value. Cannot beat it in price and has the reliability etc to go with it. Bought it brand new in Kenya from Marina Machineries for $20000 with a trailer, plough, harrow, planter, maize sheller and animal feeds grinder, amazing package for a small farmer in rural Kenya in East Africa. Has changed my life and increased my earnings drastically. Full spares backup provided. I highly recommend it. visit www.marinakenya.com and check out what they have, great company with brilliant stuff for the small and medium African farmer!!

Strengths does most jobs

Weaknesses parts ware quickly with repetive use and CAN NOT FIND A PARTS SUPPLIER

Overall not really a bad tractor but NO ONE BACKS THIS TRACTOR> NO PART SUPPLIERS!!!! Please contact me @ superchevyman1@aol.com if you know a parts supplier, PLEASE!!!

Strengths Looks good.Paint is shiny and no more than you can use it it probably will always look good.

Weaknesses 0 parts support....0 mechanics to work on them.Absolute piece of junk,buyer beware!Oil pressure went to 8 lbs within first few hours of operation.Returned to store and got it back 3 months later with a new oil punp and the 4x4 not working,had to fix at home.within 20 hours of operation oil pressure low again.Battery takes up half of radiator so it overheats within just a few minutes.Stop and blow the weed seeds out and go another 15 minutes.They sell a battery relocation kit for $90 which puts the battery up by the front weights.If temp is below 50 deg. the 3 point will not lift until the oil is COMPLETELY warmed up.This is not just an isolated incident.I know of 2 more owners close to me with the same problems.

Overall Parts are almost impossible to get.The tractors sell because they are low priced but trust me,you would be better off either throwing your money in the wood stove and avoid the stress or using the same as you would spend on this heap and purchase a used tractor by another manufacturer

Strengths Price, power, Price

Weaknesses transmission reminds me of old ford tractors, not as smooth or easy to use as new kubotas, etc Manuals leave out some things in the chinese to english conversion

Overall Very affordable tractor capable of small farm or garden work. Excellent choice for the weekender, or small time farmer.
