Dong Feng

Dongfeng (Dong Feng) is one of the leading manufacturers of self-propelled agricultural machinery and attachments to it. It was founded in the People's Republic of China in the eastern province of Jiangsu, Changzhou City. In 1960, the company began to engage in tractor engineering and since then continues to successfully produce tractors and mini tractors that are widely used in many countries of the world.

The modern Chinese factory Dong Feng covers an area of more than 360,000 square meters, half of which is reserved for production facilities. The company has its own design and research centers, developing the latest agricultural machinery. It supplies to the market compact wheeled tractors registered under the brands DFAM, DF, Dongfeng, which have successfully passed certification according to GOST standards.

The small-capacity tractor equipment Dong Feng was appreciated by Russian farmers and owners of suburban areas. Due to its small size and good performance, it perfectly copes with a whole range of work in confined spaces. In the responses of users noted many of the advantages of these machines, in particular:

- universality;

- wide functionality;

- economical consumption of fuels and lubricants;

- ease of maintenance and repair;

- unification of spare parts with proprietary analogues;

- durability and reliability of the main units, systems and components.

 In addition to the listed factory defects, the owners of Dong Feng mini tractors point out another drawback - the lack of information about the technical features of such machines for troubleshooting on their own. Due to the fact that most domestic landowners prefer to repair their equipment with their own hands, rather than resort to the expensive services of SC specialists, their lack of awareness made them difficult to carry out repairs.
