Foton 824
Series: Other models
Foton – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the FT and TE types to the export names Eurostar, Interstar and Greenstar, three- and four-cylinders of up to 3.2 litres
This page gathers the Foton tractors the register could not assign to a named range. Foton – in full Beiqi Foton Motor of Beijing – is best known as a commercial-vehicle maker and builds farm machinery through its Foton Lovol subsidiary; the register holds both FT- and TE-numbered types and models such as Cougar, Eurostar, Interstar, Greenstar and North Star, under which various importers sell the same production in their own markets. The model numbers mostly track the power class in hp (FT254 about 25 hp, FT504 about 50 hp), G and other letters denote equipment and drive variants.

Foton is one of the big Chinese farm-machinery suppliers and mainly serves export markets in Africa, South America and Eastern Europe, where the tractors are often sold under local trade names rather than the Foton brand itself.
On used tractors, engine condition and origin count (Tianjin Perkins, Deutz, Cummins and other licensed and third-party engines are in circulation), along with hydraulics and PTO, wiring, and on imported units, parts availability through the local dealer rather than Foton directly.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
