Very well.
I've done about 30 hours in my DF 254 with FEL. And they have been very hard hours indeed. It has not missed a beat. Strong engine and drive train; no leaks; good strong hydraulics. The fit and finsh of mostly cosmetic items is not flash but the amount of money saved by buying a new chinese tractor over second-hand japanese, euro or US machines is staggerring!
I would recommend DF tractors.
I have used the Avenger 384'S,same as DF,just different stickers,strong runnier,strong hydralics,well build overall,What horsepower are you looking for?Im an Avenger dealer here in CT
