I bought a motorcycle tractor in December 2016. I myself went to Gomel, ordered it was brought home to the Bryansk region in a month and a half, I didn't like it, but the problems started later. I ran in the tractor according to the instructions and changed all the oils. I bought the Centaur t18V. Spring came and vegetable gardens began , the problems began. First, the rear axle with a box came off the frame. Well, I solved this problem, I cut the plates and strengthened everything. Then the electrical equipment completely stopped working. In the summer, the "Japanese" motor, I think, is of Chinese origin Kama. I began to call the website of the Kronos company, in response, some promises and no action. The tractor is on my guarantee. With grief, I phoned the management in half, they said to take it to Smolensk, and that's 380 km. I brought the engine, it turned out that the crankshaft burst in half. Dali another bu went home. Now in December. cuts off the primary (main) shaft at the checkpoint. Began to call the service, no one wants to talk. He left for work, the tractor is broken, This is the Centaur technique. This is only large e breakdowns, I no longer write for the little things that I fix myself. I took out a loan to buy equipment for the home and garden and bought a problem. Well, how can you believe such sellers, They put up several videos on the Internet with fake grandfathers who have no idea about technician, people watch buy then suffer ... on whatever site I see this tractor for sale, I will discourage everyone from buying it.There are few reviews on the Internet for centaurs. Once again I assure everyone that this is one of the worst Chinese mini tractors. Yes, it is Chinese and not Belarusian. Maybe it is assembled in Belarus, but the components are all Chinese and not of the best quality. I'm not a fan of writing reviews, but here it got enough. year of use and operating time of only 30 engine hours, all the main units were out of order and repairs were at their own expense.
