Anyone hear of AfTrak?

There are many now defuct tractor companies that could have made this unit. The photos lack detail but it does not appear to be a TS unit, could be an older DF but most likely one of the brands that is no longer around. You could buy it and run it till it breaks, maybe years, maybe days...
Most of the home market chinese tractors in this size were 2 cylinders, being it is 3, it could be a Yangdong engine in which case engine parts will likely be no problem. Best advise is to buy a brand that is being imported and that has sold in large enough numbers to crate a market for parts. Jinma, KAMA, DF, and Foton, all still manufacturing and sell in fair numbers.

If this tractor is a Fegn Shou, that is what becam Jaingling and now Mahindra. New lenars are made by DF, not Jaingling. (Jainling was something like Jaingxi before going private and becoming the builder of Lenar and Agtrax, this might be a FS tractor, but I would expect parts to be hard to come by for this unit...

Looking more closely at the photos, I'm thinking more certainly that it is an FS (Feng Shou), the curved dash area, 5 lug front wheels are same as Lenar FS274 series. If so probably NOT a yangdong engine. It may be that mahindra will continue to make this engine for thier version of this tractor as they have obtained EPA certification for it. As I recall the engine was called NJ385 which I believe was produced by FS and then Jaingling and now Mahindra China.

Thanks guys. I deleted that particular bookmark as I'm going to pass on it. I figure if the combined knowledge here can't agree on what it is, I'd have no luck with parts!

Take Care,
Mike

Chip, I didn't think it was a Yangdong Y385 because the muffler is on the left side.
