Has anyone tried a Solis tractor???

[startinghandle]

has anyone tried out or bought a new Solis tractor from Davies Machinery based in Carmarthen??

Dont think spending say £30,000 on one of these type of brands is a good idea or investment. Buy a second hand model from one of the popular brands , and the depreciation will be minimal, and probably far more useful and operator friendly.

A lot these small company’s will have a very poor parts service like these cheap quads people scrap them as they cant get hold of a £30 part

@john432 they’re not near £30k for a 75hp.

I’m sure they sell Armatrac now having given up Zetor.
Mow it, Grow it in Cardigan sell Solis.

Davies impliments definitely lost zetor

Don't confuse Davies Implements and Matthew Davies (Solis and now Zetor)
They seem good tractors and having spoken to Matthew several times he is selling a lot of them and getting good customer satisfaction. I am certainly considering one when I change hopefully next year.

i don’t understand why anyone would buy one a quick look on the Internet finds used tractors of proper makes that’ll last longer and be worth more when your done

Exactly, ok not £30k but £22,500 .... that would buy a far better specd used tractor, with a wet clutch, semi powershift gearbox ,proper lift capacity.. etc ... and probably be worth the same money after 5 years...

I would be wanting a 5 year warranty on these Solis tractors at the very least.
