If you would care to look under my user name you will see a list of my tractors. A new Foton 404 is very shortly to be added to the list.
I was a one time owner of an Agricat/Agrison tractor and I at least knew who made the tractor I owned.

As I told the original poster he needed to read all the posts on here. Take what action he thought was the best (which I believe he did) and make up his own mind.

I was of the belief that foton was also a chinese tractor?
dont know what kind of $ you spent on your 404, but my 50hp turbo is an absolute beauty and a friend of mine has gone ahead and purchased the 90hp couldnt be happier. I aim to purchase the 75hp by the end of the year if all goes well.

Agrison 90hp.

I would be interested in an update from your friend with the 90hp.
Has it a FEL and cab and what type of work they have been using it for.

Yes it is a Chinese tractor..One of the quality ones. Unlike the Agricat/Agrison it was delivered to me it was undamaged , complete, did not have faulty wiring from the factory, did not have spare wires hanging out of the steering column, had oil pressure, actually worked, got the manuals, a receipt and it was not falling to pieces . So the choice was fairly simple. Buy a tractor that works , with a warranty, from people who will answer the phone without hanging up on you or buy a tractor from a second tier manufacturer.

I am actually waiting for you or any of your mates to actually name the company who MADE the tractor in China. Requested that from a few people who make the claim they have bought one of the tractors you have but nobody seems willing to answer my question so beginning to believe your all trolls.

Re: Agrison 90hp.

Hi David. Ive just placed my second order for the 75hp agrison hopefully get it by christmas! fingers crossed.
My friend uses his 90hp to lift pallets, hay bales, slashing etc. His got about 400 hours on the clock without a single trouble. Think he paid somewhere around the 40-45k mark.

Re: Agrison 90hp.

And yes, it has a cabin with air conditioning, cd player/radio and also a very heavy duty fel with 4 in 1bucket, it lifts just over 1 tonne which is excellent.
big machine!!

Re: Agrison 90hp.

Thank you for update, sounds as though you have a good dealer, the only one for me is about 150 km away and then I have to find my own mechanic.
Not such a wise move it seems.

Re: Agrison 90hp.

Im from Cooma nsw so almost 700km away, and I have my mechanic doing my services, really cheap too as I have been using the same guy for over 15 years. Alot of other dealers, i find, force you to go with a selected few mechanics who over-charge as the dealer gets kick backs from it as well.service it, look after it, and you will not be disappointed. I shall let you know how I go with my new 75hp hoping to receive it before chrissy!!

Agrison are advertising very heavily here in Australia with a 60hp tractor with 4 in 1 bucket and Aircond cab for roughly $ 30k ?? It sounds a great deal but can anybody out there tell me if they are any good ???

A low price is expensive if the machine is a dud!
Thanks guys.. Hope to hear from you soon!!

On 32 acres in nsw central west and looking to buy 30 - 35 hp tractor for slashing and driveway maintenance. The price of some of the chinese machines makes them very attractive - I've been looking at an Agrison 30 hp and a dong feng zb 35. Anyone out there got any tales to tell?

Yeah, something other than a 30-35 hp Chinese tractor.

And that statement is from someone that has quantifiable experience? :laughing::laughing::laughing::thumbdown:

Nope, never had a Chinese tractor and don't want one. Even if I did want one, there are NO dealers anywhere close to me.

And, my comment was tongue-in-cheek. Note the smiley face.

Then you are speaking solely from an unqualified, biased, and prejudiced point of view.
If I were the OP, I'd just blow off your comments, smiley face or not.

Have a nice day.

I digress.

agrison service and tractors are one of the best in the chinese tractor range here in Australia. I have owned the 50hp with fel and slasher for quite some time now, and have very high hours with minimal problems thats what you call value for money. I have seen the 60hp and it looks identical to my 50hp. Answer to your question: YES they are good value for money, and that is coming from a current owner who has really put his tractor to the test. Hope that helps.

Chinese tractors have come a long way, especially here in Australia. And having a local dealer is not as important as it used to be 30 years ago. Technology has come a long way, paarts can be ordered online and express posted to your door. Just gotta know your machine and its limitations, and have it serviced and looked after regularly.

I believe there are good and bad reviews on EVERY brand ...the internet is a great resource to have.
I could list a whole heap of bad reviews on samsung, apple, foton, john deere you name it.
But the truth of the matter is, there are good and bad reviews on every brand in the world.
