No personal experience, but saw one at a dealer auction last month. The original buyer had traded it in for a Kubota after ~80 hours. The ergonomics and operator visibility were poor at best and the construction was also fairly crude. The tool factory tool kit was also included at the sale. It included some spare parts, like a head gasket!
If you think you are serious about buying one, do some searches for Jinma tractors, this is the more generic brand for the tractor. There are forums devoted to helping owners troubleshoot and repair them. They seem to have more minor issues than the more expensive brands, but more are easily fixed if you are handy. The problems that scared me away were the random gear and casting failures that some people experienced.
