The guy has at least three of them, but there's no labels on anything in the pics. Came up at local auction, and at least looks to be well built despite the PTO shaft being installed backwards. :laughing:
I went through 8 pages of tillers on Alibaba and didn't see any with that side gear box. Do you have anything other than your guess and another auction listing to back up that it's Chinese?
The auctioneer "partner" has been importing them along with some skidsteer attachments. I guess he's sold 9 of them thus far and everyones been real happy with them.
