They are tractors not approved for the US market.
Approved is not an issue
They are built for sale in a country other than the us and are not supported over here for parts and service.

I'm not gonna cut the jinma down.. but.. do you think you will be able to hit tractor supply in 50 years and buy parts for it? Parts availability down the line is a big part of tractor lifespan...

well that's true with just about anything at TSC, except for basic tuneup parts for 8N's, isn't it?
A MF 135-145 or a Ford 2000-3000 can be had for that. I don't know if they are any tougher than an 8N but they are more comfortable and modern. You can do a lot of work with one.I don't doubt chinese tractors will still be being made in 50 ys.. what i doubt is the parts yo need for a 50 yr old one will still be made. Heck.. in the last 10 ys didn't they already discontinue a 2 cyl engine?
