Hi guys, Names PJ. Just discovered this forum and thought I'd check it out. Been on another Chinese forum for some time. One of my tractors is a 60hp Foton with loader and backhoe attachments. Good tractor for the money. Bought it from Northern Tool. PJ Photo in Oklahoma,   |

Welcome. How many hours on the Foton? How do you use it? What do you think of it?

Welcome. How many hours on the Foton? How do you use it? What do you think of it? There's only about 400 hrs on it. I use the loader for many things. It has the Bobcat quick attachment feature and I have forks for it also, which were using for brush clean up right now. That's why the extra forks. The back hoe I've used twice and it works very well. Been using it mostly for bush hogging and cutting hay. The Perkins diesel is extremely fuel efficient and has more than enough power. The AC cab is a blessing when the temp is in the 90s and also when it's raining. It has a class II hitch and extra hydraulic quick attach outlets. It's a very good tractor for the money. I'm pleased with it. PJ |

Howdy PJ and welcome!
Man that's a nice tractor, love the cab and the overall size, looks to be of high quality too. So I see you went BIG on that one. What's it primary use? Oh and I could not help but notice the very nice metal building, what size is it? We all look forward to seeing and reading all about your tractor adventures.

Larry I know it's been months and I apologize for not answering sooner, but I've been too busy to do much on the computer. Larry, to answer your questions, the Foton is used for a little of everything, loader work, ditching and field work, like bush hogging for one. Great tractor. I would buy another one if needed. We have other tractors, but this one is the only one with a cab now. The building is an aircraft hanger. My son has a FAA certified aircraft repair station in it. He does carbon fiber panel repairs for airliners when he's not working for American Airlines. We even have an aircraft runway on the place also. |
