Doctor, I'm not sure, but isn't the Rhino one of the cheap Chinese tractors? I don't know anything about their model numbers, but I stopped at a dealership (closed on Sunday) over 5 years ago when I was looking for a tractor and saw what I thought was a couple of rusty old used tractors on the lot and found they were new Rhinos. I didn't look very long.

Every tractor brand can have problems, afterall they are made by us humans.
However, from what I have heard from multiple sources, the Rhinos are maybe a "first attempt" and you should wait for the 2nd or 3rd.
A fellow up by my other property has one, I think 10-15 years newer than my 17 year old NH Ford. I have heard that almost everything has broken on it, including splines stripping on shafts, levers snapping off, stuff you just wouldn't see on a quality unit (NH Kubota MF JD Yanmar, Mitsubishi, probably a few others and those old dependable Ford 2n 9n 8n that seem to refuse to die.
My 2cents, at this time a 10 year old JD NH KU etc beats a new Rhino hands down.
And didn't they bail out of the US recently?

Doctor, I notice You posted the same question under "other brands" Under the same heading you'll find a discussion "Nellie Belle tractors". Along with a discussion on old movie/TV cowboys, there is also some comments about Chinese tractors. It appears to me that a single Chinese brand is entering the American market under several different names. Hence, anyone with the money and desire can buy X number of these tractors, and call it what ever they choose. Most that I've seen are blue, but evidently some are red, and some are green. I can't help but think this is a confusing way to sell tractors.
