I was going to say Italy or Romania, but it does look a lot like those tractors you have posted pics of, doesn't it, Larry?

If you can not even figure out what country it is made in I would hate to try and buy parts for it.

I don't know how you would lift anything or get traction with that set back axle and 2 wheel drive.

From a farm publication in 1999.

Made in China

If you're looking for an inexpensive utility tractor, the Tyger 180 may fit the bill. Retailing at $4,995, it's claimed to be one of the least expensive tractors available in the United States.

According to U.S. distributor Masters Farm Supply, the 18-hp Tyger is a fuel-efficient, easy-starting diesel tractor. Contact Masters Farm Supply, Dept. FIN, Rt. 3, Box 392, Hwy. 73, Altha, FL 32421, 850/762-3221.

There were so many fly by night brands over the years. If I had to guess I'd say Yanmar, Mitsibishi or similar or a copy of.

Well, it's a "throw-a-way " tractor when new and now is 20 yrs old so basically it's already been thrown away by a couple owners and probably that's what they are attempting to do now. I wouldn't give over scrap weight price for it , as you may be doing just that in a week or two. Then you can at least get your $$$ back.

Hi, that tractor is no doubt Chinese. It reminds me of a bison. Don't compare it to a Yanmar, Japanese and a good tractor. Ed Will Oliver BC

I wouldn?t say it?s ugly but I?d bet it would get that way real fast for the guy who buys it

Well if the original owner paid the $5000 list price which they probably didn't and used it almost 20 years that is $250/year to have it.Can't buy hardly anything for around $20 month.
Now its not worth $4000 for sure but even if the original owner gets $1500 they still have had use of a tractor at a very cheap price.

I think it's interesting that there are two nearly identical craigslist ads for this tractor. One in Dothan, AL and the other in Panama City, FL.

I'll out bid you at $1000,I have a couple 'orphan' compacts I've picked up and both have given good service and if they broke down the next time I use them I'll be more than gotten
any use out for the money.And if they do break down I can probably sell parts off them to more then cover my initial investment.To junk something like that tractor would be downright foolish.

I can recall seeing one dealer for these, I think, it was east of Corry, PA, on 6. Almost ten years since I was there.

Might be related to the TYM people.

Must not of ever been very popular, TractorData has nothing on them. A good one to walk away from!
