Cael tractors

[Leonard malone]

I've been seeing adds for Cael tractors. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Thanks,Len

These are all new to me, I've never heard of them. I've got to presume they're either Chinese or Indian by their look.

I don't think I'd touch one with a 10 foot pole, the website sure doesn't inspire confidence.

Those testimonials seem legit for sure.

So, never heard of them, but scrolled down to the 25hp model with the loader, $18,999. So, the Ck2620 with loader, is $20,500. That's just not enough savings to take the risk, IMO. Now, they start pricing like those 1/1.5T mini hoes, about 25% the price of name brand; yeah, I'd take that gamble. I would say, they really need to be down near the $10k price to seriously consider

You know what; as I scroll through their pretty wide variety of stuff; I recognize the fold out home and tool boxes, and green house and shelter buildings from my local auction yard.

Im not anti Chinese imports; but for the tractors; I just would have to see more cost savings.

Some of their stuff are some real head scratchers. This "Mini Road Paver" for instance... OK, so it goes 250mm (10") wide to 1000mm (39" wide); im not seeing guage wheels, screed adjustment, and to top that off; what on earth are you using to fill the hopper? I mean, let's say you are paving a bike trail; first we would need atleast 60" wide, but still;

Seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist

I'm not know why you don't be very pleased with that company. The attentions to details is amazing. Don't worrying for service. In short matter of time Cael will to become serious power house of tractor industry.

The self loading, tracked, concrete mixer, thats maybe a bit more interesting. I could see use in very limited access areas, or very remote places. It's also only 3x the price of a "mud mixer"; but self propelled, and had a drum loader too

I didn't click on Every item, but I did scan through the concrete, asphalt, tractors, mini hoes, and compaction equipment, as well as tractor and skid steer attachments. Everything seems too expensive For what it is. SSQA Forks, 54" bushhog, expensive. Power broom, skid steer hydralic tiller; not too bad, but not smoking deals. Carports and metal buildings, about market rate; gas welder-generator, expensive. Even the golf carts seem high.

If im dealing with a sketchy non-name importer; I need a real attractive price.

 

[paulsharvey]

Anyone else feel the Cael name text, on the equipment maybe mimics Ghel just a bit?

The specs says hydrostatic transmission, that would be new on a Chinese machine.

Ive actually been expecting a large SCUT/small CUT; in the MF 1526/RK25/CK2510 size; given the mini hoe treatment, to hit markets in US. 24hp Vanguard clone gas engine; off the self hydralic pumps; ect; and a price in the $8-12k for a while. Basically, a bare bones, stripped, minimalist tractor, to come out of China, to hit the US market. Basically, if they got the price point down to competitive with Zero Turns; I could easily see them flooding the market.

Ive seen some based on the two wheel tractors, used over seas; and although limited, they are far from "toys".

But these, on the website, $18k is too much for what it is

In this day, is a gear transmission really cheaper to produce than a 2 speed HST? I dont mean HST+, or one with electronic cruise control and auto-throttle. Just a plain 2 speed? In my mind, maybe wrongly, im thinking hydralic drives are way more common, and off the self available, than a gear transmission
