G'day and welcome if you suspect it is an engine knock then do not run it until you get your dealer to have a look. Is it still under warranty? If so then let the dealer worry about it, if not then drain the oil into a clean container and look for metal particles, if you find any "glitter" in the oil then i would suspect an engine bearing.

Is the knock from the top side (head), or the bottom side (oil pan)? What has been your outside tempertures? Is the tractor stored outdoors? Does it knock when first starting up? Or after it has warmed up? (20-30 minutes) What weight oil are you using? Sometimes a very cold start, with direct injection engines sounds like a connecting rod knock. Is it a high pitched knock with a ting to it? Or a very low sounding dull thunking knock? Can you put a stick, or broom handle to different parts of the engine, and then using your hand to partically insulate the stick to your ear determine closely where the knock is comming from?

If I were you I would post this in the Chinese section. The info you get over there will be more helpful with out mud slinging about these tractors.
Good Luck, Dave

glitter, as in metalic particles.. a thin film of oil on some white paper or your fingers, when viewed at an angle in the sunlight will show the 'glitter' if present..e tc..

Along with what the others have said can you remove the oil pan? If the noise sounds like it's coming from the bottom I would try to remove the pan and take a look at each of the connecting rods.
