How many of these are out in the wild and some general questions.

[blacktruck]

They were supposed to have a larger unit out about a year ago as I recall. 36hp? They even talked about a cabbed unit. Those never came to fruition. Maybe because Solis never followed through?

I have thought the Summit was a good looking tractor since I first saw on GWT YouTube channel. I still do. I have been wanting one since then. My local farm store actually has them in stock now. I was hoping to see a little larger version but really think the TX 25 is the right tractor now. Summit did a good job of putting features that count on it.

I just checked the Solis international website and there is no mention of a tractor in the 35HP range. The Hardy Brothers Outdoors YouTube channel reported on the Fall 2024 Agriculture Equipment show which and the various Solis tractors being sold in the USA and there wasn't a 35HP range tractor. He did mention the 75HP tractors are being brought to the USA now that the EPA has approved that engine. Solis has a 50HP tractor that is sold in Europe but so far not available in the USA.

In November 2023 ITL and Yanmar formed a 'collaboration'. (Solis is the brand of tractor made by ITL.) So I suspect the 35HP Yanmar YT235 will be rebadged for ITL/Solis and maybe to Summit with a few upgrades just as Solis did with their H24 model to make the Summit TX25. Summit sales strategy seems to be to sell through Home Depot and Home/Farm supply stores to small acreage hobby farmers. Whereas Solis is selling at established tractor dealerships that sell brands such as TYM, Mahindra, and LS. The latter is where I think a person looking to buy a larger tractor would likely shop. Thus I think a 35HP Summit tractor wouldn't make commercial sense.

I mean, Summit posted here last year saying fall of 2024 for a 35hp unit, and cabbed unit. Then said spring 2025.

They have not updated that guidance since.

Yep, I would really like to see some input from them here. I think reaching out to the smaller acreage owners and home users of this tractor was/is a good thing. I hope they will rekindle their desire to do that here.

Indeed. They used to be very active here I felt.

Just my $0.02.
The TX-25 is sized right for those looking for a bit more lifting capacity and functionality than can be found in a typical tractor of similar size. I hope they will connect directly with those usually in that market segment. I don't need the pseudo security of needing to buy only from a well known brand. I want value and functionality above all. I have to get retired and back to my home and buy one of these.

Bought my Summit 3 weeks ago here in Minnesota and am using it on my hunting land up in northern Minnesota I have 40 acres of woods with a large clearing in the middle that I hope to turn into a food plot for deer. I am very impressed with this machine, it goes down my trails with no problem and is basically the perfect size for what I am using it for. I have been watching these tractor's since they came out and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a small tractor with awesome standard features at a great price!!!

Contact Summit Tractors about the cabbed TX25 and the forthcoming ~35HP model. And your electrical issue. They’re great to work with.

 

[blacktruck]

I remain hopeful for the 35 HP model. I'm pretty sure I can do everything I want with the TX25 but having more HP is almost always better.

Has Summit stopped posting in this forum? They were pretty active the week I purchased mine, but they haven't replied to anything in a while.

I sure hope they have not given up here. I've loosely been in the market for a new tractor for some time. The Summit has checked all the boxes for me and part of that was the interaction on here. I am remaining hopeful. I still want one when I get home.

So far, mine has served me well. The size and weight of the tractor is absolutely perfect for what we needed and it performs harder work better than my old Kubota BX. One gripe I do have is that the Kubota was a lot more refined. Like when you unscrew something, both sides are painted. The Summit looks to have been painted once assembled to save on costs. The hydraulics on the Summit are a lot more "twitchy" and "jerky". That said, it still does better at what I need it to, and it was less expensive.

I am scared about long term service and warranty work because of the level of interaction (or lack thereof) Summit has on this "official" forum. Fortunately, Solis seems to be actively trying to grow in the USA, so that bodes well for us with parts, even if they are all red.

I read about users doing their own repairs, what is the actual warranty service like? Where does the unit go when I'm not doing the wrenching?

Yep, crosses my mind too. We have a store about 8 miles from home that sells them. I don't think they do any service work there. I would not expect it to need much at all but there is always that possibility that a person would have to take it for a longer drive.

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

Like a wheel bearing fails and I'm not about to replace it... Does Runnings have a shop?

 

[DSER]

Yep, I noticed that too. Being a start up of any kind is a tough thing I suspect. With the additional features and the use of a well proven tractor, I remain hopeful for them to stay the course and make these better known. I am already in that boat with an orphan tractor. I bought a Cub Cadet/Yanmar when they went together and built those about 2009-11 time frame. I bought a new one. A couple years later, the dealer I bought from and local support was gone. Fortunately, the only parts I have needed could be sourced from Yanmar or a couple of online dealers. I haven't needed much so it really wasn't a big deal. I would think this would apply with the Summit tractors. I still like the looks of them, I like the standard features and the size for what I want to do.

Some of the parts in the Spare parts catalogue have solis part numbers. Its a repainted and a few extras from Solis

I saw my first Summit machines, at the local TSC. Solis (ITL) has had a dealer here for a while now, so I'd seen the bones of the tractor, but Summit really does do a nice job cleaning it up so to speak. Plus, that green really is sharp.

I can't help but notice there seemed to be a leak under one of the machines.

Just my opinion, they do make a good looking tractor. I am not a fan of green but that color works on there.

Good Evening, Just bought my H24 Limited Edition and am getting ready to do the 50 hr service anyone know of after market oil filter, fuel filter and Hydraulic filters out there. I am in Canada and theirs only one dealer in my area. I checked with Summit they have a complete kit.

I'd reccomend using the factory filters its hard to get crossovernfilters that actually meet the factory specs
