disadvantages

There is no equipment that does not have flaws, and the model considered in the article is no exception. The main disadvantages include:

• price - in comparison with analog versions, the cost of a mini-tractor is an order of magnitude higher. This is especially depressing for those potential buyers whose business is at an early stage of development and large material costs are beyond their capacity;
• the specifics of controlling equipment - you need to get used to working with the unit - it is more modernized and multifunctional, and therefore difficult to operate. It will certainly take some time to master the basic skills.

  An additional difficulty can be made by an instruction written by the manufacturer only in Japanese (this, by the way, is a sign of the originality of the product and gives confidence to the buyer that it is protected from "Chinese counterfeiting", which provides a manual for operation in many languages);

• the risk of accidental breakdown - due to incompetence and poor user experience;
• selection of spare parts and components - only original elements are suitable for the tractor, which can be purchased only from the representative offices of the company. Permanent access to the dealer network is not always available, and the price for spare parts from the manufacturer is always an order of magnitude higher than for their analog copies.
