[AT] NorTrack tractors

[Dick Day]

All, thank you so much for all of the replies and interesting discussions on 
the topic of off-brand tractors.

My son needs this mostly to mow is 5 acre "lawn". He has 10 acres, half of 
which are a fairly well manicured lawn.   He wants the ability to do some 
light loader work (they have horses) so a zero-turn would not do everything 
he wants.  A neighbor has several NorTrack tractors and has convinced him he 
doesn't need to spend the extra for Deere, NH or the others.  I suggested 
that he look for a used name brand small tractor and get a finish mower.  It 
sounds like his neighbor is willing to be his local support in the event he 
needs some technical help.

I was just curious if anyone had any experience with this brand.

Dick
