Owner feedback

Alexander, Homel:

“This machine is for small businesses. I write it as it is, I was unlucky and got a weak model, I drew it myself where possible. The trailer was used several times: transported fertilizer to the construction site, transported firewood. I have the impression that I didn’t buy a new model, but a used one. Now, while I’m in the garage, I’ll lock up. Rating three with a minus.
