Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of Chuvashpiller mini tractors include a low market price with good equipment and versatility of the machines. Ease of maintenance and operation, maneuverability and reliability in operation are noted as a great advantage. Another important parameter of these tractors was the low consumption of fuel and lubricants and the absence of a shortage of spare parts.

The absence of a differential lock and a planetary gear in the gearbox in some models is an omission of the manufacturer. Users often note the low quality of rubber and poor assembly of tractors at the plant in Cheboksary, as there are manufacturing defects in different models. A small engine and the absence of a weighting system also cannot be called advantages of the tractor.

Description

Price and owner reviews

Prices for Chuvashpiller mini tractors in Russia range from 130 to 500 thousand rubles - this is lower than their Chinese and Belarusian counterparts. Reviews from tractor owners include different opinions.

Victor, 43 years old, Samara: “I don’t understand why the sensors on the panel in the 504 model are made inconveniently. You constantly look out from behind the wheel to see what the indicators are. Why split hairs? It would be better if they made a panel like on the 354. Otherwise, I have no complaints about the car. An independent tractor helps to cope with work on a field measuring 3 hectares. It’s not a cheap pleasure, I recommend it only to farmers.”

Albert, 40 years old, Naberezhnye Chelny: “I have mixed impressions from 224, but the price matches the quality. The tractor is from the factory, and signs of rust are already visible (it looks like it has been standing outside for a long time), the wires to the headlights are all stretched, they can come off. The sheet elements look like they were bent with a hammer, the welding seams are weak, and the battery is located right at the bottom at the front. As an experienced guy said: “It takes straight hands to run it all correctly, bring the design to fruition, and lubricate it wherever necessary.”
