Chinese tractor on the web

[Axing]

If I type "Chinese tractor" in the search box of the international version

The results are shown in the picture, and I click into them and see a lot of brands that I have never seen before, but obviously I know where they are made

There are only a few situations that are not sold in China, the first is that the configuration is higher and more expensive, which is unacceptable to ordinary agricultural mechanics, (high-end agricultural mechanics often choose imported brands )

The second is that there is no way to compete with other brands in China, and the third is that there is no way to pass the official quality inspection in China, and unfortunately these sites often sell the latter two

I don't know if it's easy to buy Chinese agricultural machinery from your side, but if the brand can't be confirmed, then the advice is not to spend too much money to buy, of course, if the price is cheap, it doesn't matter
There is an old saying in China: you get what you pay for
As long as the price is reasonable, there is no unreasonable commodity

If you want to buy the best tractor in China

Please enter lovol, or China yto

These two brands are the best tractors in China, but I don't guarantee that they will be cost-effective when buying from your side

I'm not advertising, because I'm not a dealer, but I don't want to cause a misunderstanding that Chinese tractors are of poor quality
But sir, please remember that you get what you pay for, and any brand has its value

I just inquired about a Jinma 50hp tractor and was told they cannot ship to north america because of EPA.

Sir, I'm very sorry to see this situation, it should be limited by the international situation, I hope you can buy your favorite tractor as soon as possible

If I was looking for used or even new in the 50-60 HP China tractor range, I would not hesitate to buy a new or well cared for Shanghai 504, 554, 654. Not sure if they quit making them , but at one time they were holding over 60% of the China home market in the 50-60 HP class. The pic from the ones you posted appears to be a Shanghai New Holland 654 has the planetary gear outer hub front axle- Shanghai was engaged in a joint venture with New Holland for a while but they were basically the Shanghai models. "SNH" tractors

Mine is over 30 years old and still working hard. See pic of picking up a log below as one of it's early load tests.


I just bought a complete running spare for $3000- locally that has been parked for a decade or so, new batteries and fresh diesel it fired right up and runs smooth. They are built heavy for the 50-60 HP class. As an example the front outer wheel bearings are 4.7" in diameter, and the outer hub ring gear is over 13" in diameter on the 504 and 554 front axles.

Don't, just don't. Buying something made under out of country specifications is NOT the same as buying direct out of country.

what are you trying to say?

Goeduck has very valid points.


The engine accessories can be different or even non existent. On the Shanghai tractors one must specify the engine must be equipped with power steering pump and FEL pump that mount to the front engine timing case. Rear axle can be different with or without PTO also different PTO speeds can be speced.

You have to be specific about configurations. On the Shanghai/Rhino tractors up and until Farm Boys tractors in Tennessee closed it's doors, I could get anything from a complete engine or bare head to the sheet metal, turn signals seals bearings, gears, yada yada.

Importing an older Chinese tractor today is probably a non starter in the USA and many new China tractors are not tier 4 compliant, since the Shanghai's 495A and 4100 series engines were only tier two emissions compliant.

Canada I have no idea, but it could be even more stringent.

Now if I need a part have to search Alibaba and hope I have the right part and that assumes I Can find it listed in the first place.
My point was mainly that of the Chinese tractors sold under the Rhino name, I do believe the Shanghai built units were likely the best built and actually held up mechanically pretty well over decades of use.

Happy owner of a YTO tractor posted in this Chinese tractor forum , but I think that is in the 70+ HP range.​

Good Luck with whatever decision you make, but I would also look locally for a new or used name brand tractor as well as confirm the China unit will actually clear customs after checking the tractors engine for compliance.
