Chinese High HP tractors

[James Joe Dewar]

I see the Chinese now have their sights aimed at the high horse power tractor sector with a 450 HP Lovol P9000 and a 360 HP Liugong LT3604, ??

The Chinese are taking their chances now that the Western brands have pulled back from the Russian market because of the sanctions. Multiple brands unknown to us have showed up lately. The largest dairy farmer in Russia with ca 100,000 cows, who is also the largest John Deere dealer is now selling Lovol. At the Agritechnica Lovol showed a 240 hp CVT tractor and an 11 l  engine and CVT developed in house for a tractor with 380 hp. It's not ready for the European market yet. Believe it said end of this year. This is the 1/1 tractor in China.

 

They're already making this 1/24 version, now let's hope they learn the European market wants 1/32:

BTW, the Liugong is based on a loader, with a 9 l Cummins engine and hydrostatic gearbox:

And here's a 350 hp hybrid Liugong:

And a 440 hp KAT 4404 at 173,000 GBP:

And a 300 hp KAT 3004 with 16+4 synchro gearbox at 134,000 GBP:

400 hp YTO under development:

300 hp YTO with ZF 40+40:

Most European is this Zoomlion with a Deutz 230 hp engine and ZF 40+40 introduced at Agritechnica 2015:

Rostselmash now even puts Chinese engines in the good old New Holland Versatiles

And no more Deutz or Cummins engine in this Belarus

There used to be a 1/24th scale Arbos tractor, Which I guess is now Lovol, And I reckoned the Liugong was based on a wheeled loader, a bit like the Kirivetes K100 style.

This Chinese Tractor is made in 1/32 and I believe this Lovol Combine is made in 1/35.
