I had not really considered that route when I was looking just because I thought that they would be too small (of course, I ended up buying a baby dozer and am very impressed with the capability, so there goes that line of thinking). Do you use the 3 point hitch much? I would think that it would be handy - just think, then I could bushhog the thorn bushes with a dozer and still not get flat tires!
I've never seen a Nortrac dozer personally, but I have seen several Chinese tractors. The ones I've seen seem a little rough around the edges, but certainly servicable, especially for the price.
This little beast works great especially for cutting ATV trails on the hillside. I use the front blade to cut and pull a boxblade in the rear to smooth things out. I can do it in a single pass on gentle slopes. I haven't bushhog with it yet but don't any problem using it. The quality is like any other chinese tractor. It's on the rough side and not very well engineered. I wish I have the time to use it more often and do some mods like re-routing the hydralic hoses that gets in the way. Mine has a steering problem right now. The nortrac does have very good warranty coverage. Mine has 3 1/2 years extended warranty.
