Dealer Foton dealers

[tangstang79]

Hello, I'm Trying to locate foton dealers in my area. Pennyslvania, maryland, Ohio, west virginia, and Virginia. Any help on locating them would be appreciated.


Also i have a question. Being that i have heard most of these tractors come with a Certificate of origin, how do banks usually loan for these? Do you have to have a title?

thanks

There is a Foton dealer in Pennsylvania. Don't know anything good or bad about them. They have a nice website:

Northern Tool also sells Foton tractors.

those guys are 3 miles away from us. They've been around for just a few months. Can't say I've ever heard a word from any customers good, bad, or even shopping.

Wasn't Northern Tools a Foton seller one time? I think they currently offer Nortrac Units.

Thanks I knew about O&H i was just trying to see if i could locate anymore of them in the distant area.

I just got on northerns website and they have nortrac's, and i don't see any of them with a cab option.

You're right. I pass by there often and can't recall seeing anyone there. I know very little about the Fotons. My impression is they are fairly utilitarian and I don't think offer hydro trannys. They could be a flash in the pan or turn into something big. Hard to tell.

I remember when a car dealer in Lancaster put the first load on Hondas on their lot. Wifey and I almost fell over laughing at them. They were the ugliest tiny little things we'd ever seen. I never would have guessed how successful they would become.

They are already something big.
If you go to Google images and search FOTON you will see that they make everything from tractors to cars, SUVs, vans, buses, dump trucks, semis, you name it. I think they are China's "Hyundai"

the tractors are not new to our market though. they have been around quite a long time. Its not a machine at all tailored to the expectations of an American buyer. I've never heard of us working on or trading any of the tractors, but we have had in some of the JIMA backhoes that they mate to them and they where of unbelievably horrible quality. The one we had in, we ended up replacing every hydraulic hose on the unit... and it was new.

While I would agree with you. There are many in the Chinese tractor section that would not. I wouldn't own 1 .I always wonder if the Chinese people have as many problems with these Chinese tractors as some owners in the US and other parts where they are sold do .

So what are the differences between that and the ones that American buyers expect? I'm new to the tractor thing.
