They sell those in my town by import tool dealer and his are Farmtrac brand! All these and other brands are made by one Chinese company. There is a bunch of guys that have a website for chinese tractors if you look in the garden tractor forum here. The ones I looked at are real rough castings, the cylinders look undersized on loaders and paint/smoothness of sheet metal is bad. I saw a fellow at a WI tractor show selling same ones, diff name, BUT, he buys American made loaders for his, sells only the 4wd and gets a better clutch and paint job put on. Oh Yes, and more or better gauges in panel too. Seems he can order them to his specs somehow. 'They DID look a little better.
If you've ever bought anything from china with castings, and hit hard with hammer, like a vise or anvil and it broke, I bet these would be about same. Seems Chinese can copy anything someone sends over to them, but the metal work is not that desirable. As to the working conditions of the factories and such, who knows! I would worry about parts 5 or 10 years down the line on these.
