They have been to russia and back. Remember when the financial crisis hit last year. Russia imposed a import tax on machinery and that made those tractors that much more expensive.

They may not be spec'd for north american hydraulic requirements but not sure on that.

Also heard there is no new holland warranty on them. May be the deal of the century.
