Very few people have 1st hand knowledge of China tractors, not that many out there. This forum is about old American tractors, so you will get some negative comments - just how it is. In general, China tractors leak a lot, and the castings are weak, even if they look big & beefy, they are not good iron & will crack or break.

Just my observations from several years on the internet pages, without any real experience or knowledge of that brand name. --->Paul
