Reviews

Vladimir Ivanovich, owner of a suburban area, city ​​of Tomsk
The Centaur T-15 was bought to cultivate a vegetable garden with an area of ​​1,5 hectares. I will immediately note the advantages of this technique. Loved the hardy and powerful engine. It starts easily from the starter even in winter. Good hydraulics significantly expand the functionality of the tractor. In general, I’m ready to put a mark of 5 for the components. I really don’t like the build quality. The belt drive is very poorly thought out. During operation, the belts often fly off or twist. Gear shifting is tight, and the cutter that comes with the kit turned out to be incorrectly assembled. In general, all the shortcomings had to be corrected independently. Now the technique works great.

After the order, the company quickly delivered the Centaur T-24. The first day of the break-in satisfied me, but then problems with electrical equipment began. First, the fuses blew, then the headlights went out and the engine began to start poorly from the starter. I didn’t wait for help from the service, I had to do the hauling of the electrical wiring on my own. Now the tractor is working, but the gears are shifted with great effort. Didn’t like the build. In addition, the driver’s seat is so hard that you can not sit on it for a long time.
