Yeah, that's the problem with some of the more expensive Alibaba/Aliexpress stuff. The list price is attractive, but once you add in all the extras like duties, transportation from the port of entry to your location, warranty difficulty etc., there's not much price difference from heading over to the local Kubota dealership.

Still, some of those little tracked tractors on TikTok are interesting. If I could somehow raise enough money to start importing them, I'm sure I could sell quite a few.




A lot of folks find those little chineese tractors at auctions in the US. There are folks who handle all the import and then resell them. Can be a great deal but many of them need some mods, like better cooling, to really shine.
