Benye – other models: the collective page of Chinese compact tractors outside the named ranges, 250C to 724 and Kodiak 25hp, 8.9 to 54 kW
This page gathers the Benye tractors the register could not assign to a named range. Benye is a Chinese maker of small and medium compact tractors; type designations such as 254C, 304 and 354-12 follow the scheme common in the Chinese tractor industry, in which the first digits give the approximate hp class and the suffix after the hyphen marks drive type or equipment, C standing for a cabbed version.

The register lists here 10 versions with 8.9 to 54 kW (12 to 72 hp), all with diesel engines.
Tractors of this size class and design are built in large numbers in China by numerous makers and used both on domestic small holdings and exported to developing and emerging markets, where their simple mechanical build and low purchase cost are decisive. They often come with a PTO and simple hydraulics for implements such as ploughs, rotary tillers or trailers, and are also used as a drive for stationary work such as pumps or threshers.
On used tractors, engine condition and injection, clutch and mechanical transmission, hydraulic tightness and rust on bodywork count; because of the many similar Chinese ranges, spares can often only be matched with an exact model and engine designation.
