How about the re-vamped Farm Pro website?

It has the "10 series" and "20 series" models (I wonder where they got that idea?) and a decent listing of their implements. The 20 series models look pretty slick.

I'm picked up a used Belarus 250 myself so I'm not in the market for a tractor anymore.

It looks like the old Farm Pro 25hp is now a 2510 and the 2520 is a new/different tractor. Going by the specs it still has the Y385 engine, but no glow plugs. May be hydrostatic trans too...no gears? And a bigger hyd pump. Anybody know anything about this 2520 tractor?

Not personally. But my first thought was that the 20 series represented the EPA-approved versions that included some cosmetic changes, since "no glow plugs" often means direct injection. But then I started noticing errors on the spec sheet. It might just be a case of sloppy webpage editing; 6.00x12 front tires are typically for 2WD, transmission section simply looks like it was never filled in, hyd pump type missing, engine oil capacity of a Y380, et cetera.

No "gallery" either. And it seems only the "legacy" models are represented in the manuals section. To be fair to Homier, maybe that section is still a "work in progress".

These are the new tractors from FOTON, the Foton 25HP is on a smaller chassis with smaller tires/wheels, but I agree there are errors. the Y385 engine has just become available in EPA certified trim and I'm not aware if they have glow plugs or not, I suspect there are some errors on the page.

The Foton 25 has constant mesh transmission, no hydro yet.

The price of the 2520 is a little higer (varies with local dealer) than the old 2425 price. The Foton is a nicer looking tractor with much better fit and finish than the Jinmas so Homier is making it a "mid grade". These may help fill the gap between the Chinese and Korean tractors. The 20 series is only available to dealers by special order at this time. I am patiently waiting for my first shipment of 4020 and 7020 models.

We somehow received one of the 4020's early, and installed a Koyker 160 loader on it---it sold pretty quick--but I managed to get a few photos of it before delivery.(I posted the pics in the photo section, under front end loaders.)
I have not seen the 25hp ones---but if they are anything like the 40hp (which I am sure they are) ---we will be getting some. Definitely a few notches up the quality scale, compared to the Jinmas.
