U-C Posted April 6 Author Posted April 6 my advice for the new tractor maker is something I have from a small manufacture in Switzerland that started in 2004, start small maybe ten or 20 tractors a year and increase to 50 a year over time. Quote
CIHTECH Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Leaves me pondering how they can sell a mechanical "P" pump Cummins in North America. At the very least they will maybe wake up the "BIG 3" I've said for a long time something like this built by major manufactures would spread like wildfire. At this time I would gladly accept a stand alone common rail engine, that does not have to drink DEF, and yak with the hydraulic pump, transmission and so forth. After seeing what engines are able to do with performance curves and efficiency, not sure I would want to go back to full mechanical engines. My 05 Dodge has 270 thousand miles, I've owned since 70 thousand. To date I haven't done anything other than change the oil, run fuel treatment and service fuel filter every other oil change. Starts without assist, down to "0" and runs like a champ. 1 Quote

Add manual scv’s and three point valve and I’m interested, until then I’m not interested anything newer than a boxcar magnum, for livestock I need stone cold reliability 3 Quote

I read on their FB post someone mentioned if they have Russian parts or if it is from Russia the thing they commented was they make them in Alberta and get parts over the world.... ya right what I can tell its a Chinese tractor Quote
acem Posted April 8 Posted April 8 How can they meet emissions like that? I thought Canada requires DEF and all the environmental crap? Quote

I have read on a different forum that they get the engine and the tractor separat and assemble them, but I bet if they sell far more they will not get around it for long. 1 Quote

I thought Canada requires DEF and all the environmental crap? they delete anyone ones comment on Facebook that mentions "its a chinese made tractor assembled in Canada" one guy had an article about one that looked very similar in south america his comment got deleted. I reckon they don't like when someone points out the facts. 2 Quote

Ian Beale Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Maybe some connection to this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursus_SA Quote

However I am not sure, read something a Ukrainian company took them over and plans to restart tractor production Quote
