Hi Malcolm i bought the 50hp ultra agrison not long ago - depends what you need it for? im on 50 acres and i use it for lifting bales around and slashing my property and currently making fence using my post hole digger. i think you gotta be on the ball and keep maintaince up high with these chinese tractors. always check your fluids and tighten all bolts and it will be fine. i try to maintain mine whenever i get the time for it really. hope that helps. ill be loading up the photo of "dexter" thats what ive called my tractor!!!
