Flat Pack Tractor?

[tockmal]

Anyone know if these things are any good? Could you run a logsplitter off one?

Chinese flat pack, make of it what you will. Not bad value by any means, but I would much prefer a nice little Fergie T20 or 35X.

As to logsplitters, yes, it would run one that had its own pump via the PTO shaft

Chinese tractors? I don't know.... I worked for a forestry contracting company down near Alice Holt Research Station years ago. He bought a couple of forestry tractors from China......and we broke every one!

Well I've owned one! I had it for 18 months I built it myself in about 10hrs, its cheap and cheerfull but served us well, I certainly made it pay for its self with a 5ft flail. I lost my mowing contract so sold the machine to the local country park, Its still going well

 

I've been asked to look at some more mowing work and my well consider another in the future. Its like anything if you look after it, it will serve you well.

when i was buying a tractor i took a look at them, utter scrap imo, i'd rather a used kubota grey import any day

Mowing and forestry work is a little different though eh?

I wouldn't call splitting logs forestry! The PTO will run at the same speed. Turning a hydraulic pump isn't as hard as spinning a flail. I used the tractor & Mower to cut 3 miles of paths every week, The first cut in low box took the grass from 3 feet to 4" tall.

 

The park I sold mine to now use the tractor for forwarding/extraction work in winter the tractor is 7 years old now. I wouldn't have expected it to last that long originallly but it has.

 

I was just giving on honest account of our ownership of one.

one of my customers has a DIY tractor for his 5 acre garden, he loves it . " came in a box from India" he told me .

 

Suits him fine but he is no pro user.

And I was just saying that when we worked Chinese tractors in the woods......we broke them.
