I'm pretty sure they're one and the same tractor out of Singapore. Search for 'Allied tractors' on the web and you'll eventually come up with at least two locations that sell and service the Allied version. In my searching, I ran across the 'Allied' brand, and they look identical to the Northerns, except price. Been looking at/for compacts myself, and was curious as to the actual maker of these things. My first time on and noticed the traffic on NorTracs. I would sure look into the extended warranty also. I'd say if maintainence parts are available and you like a tractor without all the bells and whistles it might be the ticket. The catalog showed a 25hp unit for 6995.00. Looks like to me you are getting raw tractor. They do look a little unrefined up close but with $$$$$ comes refinement and creature comforts. I saw one at the Northern store in Des Moines yesterday. Not trying to change anyones opinion, but thought I should share my observations. This might be okay if you live near there service center. They do offer an extended warranty for 3 years that is around $350. Although with a company like Northern tool standing behind them they may be a better deal. If you read the posts on the board about Rhino tractors, I think you can get the picture. He indicated that they were made by Rhino, and had been in the tractor business for 50 years. I asked the salesman about the tractor manufac. It started good, it was about 10degF and the tractor had was outside. The fuel tank looked like someone hand-forged it over a rock and never ground down the edges. "You get what you pay for"!!įrom a distance the tractor looks alright, but once you get close you begin to see the poor quality and lack of attention to detail in the metal. I have to admit I was sceptical going in. Last week I was in NC and stopped by the new Northern tractor store. If you run into problems with your NorTrac please post it. Ol'Mother Winter is a tough critter to survive up here in Maine. I will have to wait till' spring before buying, even at there price. Good luck and let us know how things work out. You are absolutely correct that at this price it would be impossible to beat. If you would not mind, there are a number of folks here who would be interested to hear you opinions in regard to the tractor and how well it holds up for you. You are the first I know of to take the plunge and glad to hear the Nortrac is working out for you. In my opinion, this is the best best deal for the money. bushog with incredible ease! The tractor is made in china. I recently purchased a 25 horsepower, model 254, four wheel drive tractor form Norhtern Tool and Tractor. Has anyone heard of "NorTrac" tractors, by Northern Tractor Co., sold through Northern Tool & Equipment Co.? There price is to good for a new compact tractor, is it junk ? Who manufactures the NorTrac?
