I hear that the taskmaster tractor is having epa problems and over 100 are at the border. They are no longer chinese and are being made in Canada. We bought one used and are having no problem getting parts, actually a part, that was needed. Got flats in the front tires, we are in Az so that goes with the territory. So far we are happy with it. If it continues to work out well we will get another larger one. EPA can't keep them on the border forever. They are the same tractors they allowed from China!!

Taskmaster tractors have, and as far as I know conitnue to be manufactured by DFAM in China. The prior distributor of Taskmaster tractors did have some EPA problems. A company in Canada did assume the Taskmaster name and continues to import them. There should be no problem with EPA now as there are several EPA compliant engines available. The problems stemed to the TPEM program that allowed limited import of non epa engines under strict guidlines. The TPEM for non EPA compliant engines has expired but there are certian allowances for non compliant engines (ie low quantity) the difference as I understand it is that only the acutal engine manufacturer (not importers as before) can claim an utilize the exemptions. NO matter, as I said many certifed EPA compliant engines are available now. We are importing DFAM tractors under our own brand name "AgTrac" and we can help with parts needs if necessary. Artrac is a joint venture partner and distributor of AgTrac tractors. ....
