A four-wheel-drive tractor of this power class marks a light-to-medium field tractor, the kind used for tillage and drawbar work on smaller to mid-sized farms. Manufacturing in China, as with numerous tractors of this power class, targets price-sensitive markets in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe, where a simple design and low running costs matter greatly.
Buying a used tractor of this origin is worth clarifying through which channel spare parts are available in the given market, since dealer networks can differ greatly from brand to brand. Also worth checking at inspection are the function of the four-wheel drive, hydraulic tightness, the condition of the cooling system and the completeness of the operating documentation.
