Owner reviews
Konstantin, 39 years old, Opochitsy: “I saw a lot of reviews about the Centaur 2080 B on the Internet. I hesitated for a long time to take it, but still took the risk. I liked the device. It turned out to be very maneuverable and easy to control. On my plot of 6 acres I don’t experience any problems with use. I was especially pleased with the low fuel consumption.”
Roman, 56 years old, Buravtsy: “I purchased the device about six months ago. I was completely satisfied. On my site, the soil is of a mixed type with a large predominance of clay; no inconveniences were observed during the work. With its help, it is convenient to hill up potatoes and process row spacing. The only drawback that I found is that it does not start the first time if I don’t use it for a long time. Otherwise, the walk-behind tractor has never failed.”
Anton, 64 years old, Lubnya: “For as long as I can remember, potatoes have always been hilled with the help of a horse, but now finding them in the village is a big problem, and they are no longer the same age. The walk-behind tractor turned out to be the best option for me - low price and a wide range of jobs that can be performed. In 3 years I managed to fully appreciate the convenience of technology. With his help, I calmly planted potatoes, dug them, and transported them. During all the time I used it, there were only a few small breakdowns that I was able to fix myself.”
Maxim, 34 years old, Bryansk: “I thought for a long time about options for a dacha. I settled on "Centaurs". I chose 2080 B only because of the combination of not particularly high price and normal quality. I took it as a set with all the equipment. A year and a half has passed. Nothing changed. With good service there is no problem. Doesn’t require much care.”
