Alpine Tractors... build quality?

Think that's on youtube somewhere - if not it's very similar

We use 2 BCS tractors on the tree nursery I subbie for. They are not an anvil of a tractor, Lots of plastic components, The reversible drive is useful but the 2002 volcan model has now got the steering console held together with cable ties and wobbles.

 

Also the geometrey of the rear linkage does not suit some equipment especially some pto operated equipment

Depending what you are after in a tractor the simpler you can have it the better for hard forest work.

However for power 80-90hp on a small footprint very good. I notice your Kubota is fitted with turf tyres and mid mounted mower, what work would a replacement tractor be doing?

Very very cool, I would drive to the shops in that

 

And come back with an ATM - machine paid for!

We've been running this Alpine from Riko for about seven years. Never failed to amaze us what it can do or where it can go. Road legal and very nippy! 35hp and twice we've pulled the land rover out of the mud with it. I've got a Lenar in the yard, it's from China but earns it's keep. Have been looking at the Land Legend range with a loader but not sure what they are like.
