Hey My 35 4wd XT is still going strong the Factory rubber boots here and there just dont last, I coated all of them with heavy layers of silicon adhesive. The Cheap Carter pins that cam with is all yanked and replaced.
. I drained all the oil and all other fluids that came in it and replaced it all with the good stuff from TSC..Electrical wiring at almost 7 years no Issues at all. ( I had heard there would be but none yet) The Rubber on the Coker front end loader got a costing of silicon and gorilla tape. I am suprised that here in Texas the seat ( It is not in a barn outside stored exposed) is still in very good shape. Minor Clutch adjustments had to be done. Battery died this month 7 years on a battery it good. All in All if you can do your own mech work it is not a bad tractor. I still would but it again. IT HAS A PARTS ONLY WARRANTY and that is its main flaw. Mine is the FOTON model not the Jima

Right off the Bat the Low Price for MY 35 HP Nortrac was a big selling point. I did spring for the Extended warranty it parts only. The I had to get over the fact that this is a Parts Only Warranty. That it in a nut shell the first few week where they will send someone to work on it, Just is not true it isw not going to happen. That being said you better be willing to handle parts replacement on your own. If you can and for me its not a big deal. Just a annoyance. Clutch adjustments are a pain but I have had to do them on both mt Ford 800 an my Yanmar.

Most of the parts issues were pins falling off of linkages. PTO and 4WD selector. They will send the pins fast but some retainers(IE Self Made pins hold better.

For now I have had it 16 months it Has done what I asked it to do. Shuttle Shift? Power Steering on my 35XT and a Loader.

Worth it even being my own mechanic for right Now I say yes.

1 Year and two months.
My most major annoyance is the 90 or 60 day in site repair service. It is flat out not happening period. Almost a lie. Good selling point but not true at all.
I fixed the hood once the new latch arrives. The Lath just would not hold I don't see how it ever could. The old latch was defective the new one did work but as with the first one was to far away from the rod on the hood, There appears to be adjustments on the very back of the hood to move the hood around but they were already as fat as they would go. I cut a piece of treated wood 1/2 inch thick as a spacer. Laced it between the frame and the new latch. The hood now latches and stays down, This is a issue that the factory should look at. I cannot be the only one that had this.
Minor Issues. Pin that makes the lift leaver work drops out.
Fixed with a new pin.
Pin in 4wd pull handle fell off. Fixed
Pin in the Shuttle shift Leaver fell out. Tore the rubber boot covering the Front amd rear select.
Low Speed PTO speed wont work, Even though it had never been used, I was told to adjust the clutch. Common issue.I do give the Phone support staff at Nortrac 4 stars, Their advice have been great,
Driving to the Service center It seem they don't want to fool with it,
The tractor Has done everything I have wanted it to do. Still happy with it
Bottom Line Great Price,But you had better be handy with tools and have some mechanical skills.
If you buy one Day one PTO,LIFT,4WD and the Hood Latch check it when it comes off the truck. Have a set of needle nose pliers and some real thin stainless steel wore,
I have found a thin piece of wire through the pins twisted at the ends will hold the pins in place, The Cotter pin used to hold the 4WD pin in place is week in my opinion, I bought some at TSC and I think they will hold better.
Clutch adjustment not done yet I will post how this goes.

NorTrac 35XL Northern Tools Foton I think
