Nortrac Tractors

[peter nap]

Anyone have one and how do you like it? I'm looking at the 20 hp 4wd model.

not knowing how you plan to use it i can only speculate but at 20 hp if you you have a front loader you will want more power. i bought a 30 hp Kioti and am glad i stepped up to that as i use it for drive maintenance and scooping gravel and mowing my property. Do you know what engine they have as far as who makes it??

If you do a google search there is alot of controversey.
People either love them or hate them there is no in between.
I had considered the one you are talking about at one time but decided against it as there were too many unhappy people who had them and too many bad things said about them.
things like not enough power, broken from the factory, little to no warranty, hard to get parts, poor design and broke easy because of the design, etcetc.
With all the negatives I read it didnt look like it was worth it to me. I need something that is going to work years from now that I can hand down to someone else. I need something with easily accessible parts and a warranty from a company who will stand behind their product.
So it wasnt for me.
But as I say some people either love em or hate em.
You may be one of the ones who loves em.

I'm going to use it for light farm work, drive maintenance, bush hogging and light grading with a rear blade.
Pixel, I read all the posts I could find also and to be honest, It's confusing. I have a Northern near me and everything I've bought had good warranty service and they seem to have a large parts and service dept here.

Most of the complaints that I saw revolved around using too small a tractor for too big a job. There are a lot of complaints about the track dozer but again...too small for the job.
That's why I wanted to hear from people that actually use them.

If I'm not mistaken, they're Jinma tractors, rebadged.

If you're handy with a wrench, I might consider it. If not, I wouldn't.

If you are looking for less expensive, I recomend Belarus. I have heard very good, durable, inexpensive things about them

China made - oh boy.

Someday China will be the Japan of the world, & have the top quality of all manufaturing.....

Today, you have loose oil fittings, poor castings that like to break, awkward controls, weak levers that break......

They are real cheap for a reason. I would buy a good used made in Japan tractor of equal $$$ value, & have much more dependable & servicable tractor.

My only experience was sitting on one on the showroom floor. Yish. That was all I wanted...
