Love the design of these they looked great and I'm sure were awesome on fuel but BUYER Beware!!! These were build off a (Hinomoto brand), rebraned just with different sheet metal, paint scheme, decals and company name, same as AC, Deutz, as well as the Simplicity 9518s. I had a Allis 5015... Literally ZERO Engine parts available, When i did some research after owning mine i found out the Hinomoto engine company went under a few years after making these. So... I looked 3 years for a rebuild kit. Impossible. A guy on the Unofficial AC forum for almost 10 years then he found a NOS one. But his had a Factory dealership Cab w/ wiper and heat on it, along with loader and other factory attachments. The rest of the tractor has little too nothing available. unless you go thru Agco and they want Insane $$$ Per usual. Parts tractors is about the only thing u can do... or repower it w/ an adaptor plate etc. Figured i'd mention this! Since they are not super well known... Also Satoh S370 tractors. Same dealio. Just sold mine a month ago. no parts are available. The last company went under. Southern Global Tractor about the only place to find anything brand New, eBay, or NOS. Really good sales advert though!
Great little tractors!
They have a fairly good reputation.
Never knew about these until you mentioned them in a previous video.
Yeah, they were certainly less well known than their farming tractors.
Love the old videos, keep them coming.
Glad you like them. I plan to upload all the ones i have.
These are very cool little yard tractors. I've seen a few here and there, but definitely less common in my area than the larger farm models.
I agree. i think they are cool enough that i might look for and buy one, for collectors reasons if nothing else.
It would be really useful to have one of these. Big enough to run a mower/rototiller/snow plow, but small enough to store in a residential garage.
Agreed. With those tools, it would be super useful for the average homeowner.
I saw one of these for sale on facebook marketplace the other day.
That's cool. if i found one in good shape for a decent price in my area, i'd probably buy it.
YEET
YOTE
