Someone knows them? Xingtai

[Mac624]

As all the compacttractors are too large for my use and used Kubotas are very expensive, I have found this tractor at the net:

http://www.xt-tractor.com/usr_web/Product_put/More.asp?id=115

it has more or less the size of a lawn mowing tractor and would exactly fit my needs. The Problem is, noone knews the brand. Contacting importers in Russia and Romania has shown no results.

Is anybody here, which can help me, finding an importer or an user of the Xingtai?

Iｴm not sure, if it fits the US emission rules. Any answer would be helpfull.

Hi, Timwil

I also had problems to read chinese with my Dueren-County german.

Infact the site isnｴt very helpfull by getting any informations.

But a click at the blue signs will show that:

Distributors site:

Welcome to CCF !

wasnｴt very helpfull,too.

So I tried TBN, maybe someone knews someone who knews someone, who could help me out.

A time ago I have been told, that they are for sale in Finland and Poland. But a friend in SF never has heard about it, neither has seen one and a search at google.pl didnｴt show a result.

What are your needs that a Cub Cadet can't perform? Seems they're about the same size.
If you (assuming you could) purchased that tractor, how would you plan on supporting it? Parts, service, etc.?

Hi, Bob

You may not believe it, but the cub cadet is only known as a mowingtractor here in Germany. We donｴt have that large amount of small/Compact tractors here.

Gebrauchte Landtechnik bei tec24.com

click on right side "Sprache" for "english"
and then "Specialist Crop"

or take that one:

so, if something is for sale, they are really expensive and 1 Euro is appr. 1,44$!

they have small Kubota/Iseki imported from Japan for sale.

Or watch german E-Bay
eBay: kleintraktor, traktor, kubota, iseki

That X-name is not familiar to me either, sorry. But I'm thinking Bob may be referring to the recent marriage of convenience between Cub and Yanmar. See Cub Cadet and Yanmar have joined forces to create a new generation of compact tractors. But I have no idea if it's being market yet in Germany. But even if it is, I suspect that the currently strong Euro may make it an expensive purchase.

Rhe strong Euro makes anything cheaper, which must be paid in US$. so thatï½´s not the main problem.

We have relativly small spaces, so more or less a border for using a walkbehind or a small tractor.

This XT has maximum 18 hp and small measurements. I would choose the 16 hp, more then enough power, cause at the moment Iï½´m working with walkbehind tractors of maximum 8 hp.

Thanks all for Your suggestions and advices. Hopefully I will get some more input.

Edit alert:

I have forgotten this:

I have get it offered for appr. 1600 US$, Side pto and beltdriven

 

[Bob Rooks]

That's an interesting tractor; the engine appears to be transverse mounted on a channel iron frame.

 

[greg_g]

That's an interesting tractor;

But for $1600, I'd hope to at least get a seat cushion and a front end alignment !!

[Mac624]

Yep..I have made complainments about this gardenchair. The engine, is normally is used in walkbehindtractors, tranny is the same.

The tractor is very basic and for sure, easy to repair or to maintain. They are sold a lot to african countries. But the side pto and as there is not hook for a trailer makes it useless for me.

The frame is made from T-Steel. And it seems, that the frontaxle has no kingpin.
