    Saw one today.. pretty nice

    Good point. ITL is partially owned by Yanmar and I was told by upper management that there are 30 Yanmar employees at the plant for quality control. Yanmar engines as I understand will be in the 30hp to 50hp sizes. So, I'm confident in the machines quality and reliability.

Mirrors on it will get torn off and a self leveling loader on a tractor this size is just added expense in my opinion. Full disclosure. I am a Territory Manager who sets up...

    Asssment of Korean Tractor Manufacturers

    I believe Korean tractors to be some of the finest built. However, I believe there will be only a couple that survive in the USA market and below are my reasons why. Here is the order in which I feel they stack up for many reasons. 1. LS Tractors 2. Kioti/Daedong 3. Kukje/Branson 4. TYM/Tong...
