Of the minus points, the lack of rear weights should be mentioned.

High quality Chinese technology. Thanks to a lightweight construction with metal-plastic fenders and a hood, the engine power is sufficient for driving on viscous surfaces.

I use a tractor to harvest firewood for winter and field work.

Pros: A good all-round small tractor with low fuel consumption and a quality cab.

Disadvantages: In the event of a small impact, metal-plastic parts fly away.
