How long would one of these last on light farm duties??

Till you need spares ! and chain drive , wants to be shaft driven with a carrier on back for me .

Looks like it's made of the finest chinesium. You do see the real thing cone up on ebay or market place sometimes. All they've done is putt putt round a large garden or a stable yard.

True enough, but only 200cc so not much power going through to the back end...

Be alright to potter about around the lambing pens until that Wild hogg takes off without her lamb & you decide to give chase in said chinesium chariot while being just a little bit tired, short tempered & angsty then you'd likely hear a bang then a rumble while all the power disappeared, doubtful if it would make it back to the shed before you torched it.

Chinesium chariot

No mention of 4wd, zooming in on the pics I can't see any evidence of drive to the front wheels, which would be a non starter for me.

Define "light farm duties" ?

200cc will hardly snap a 520 chain anyway it's driven.
If it had a KTM500 powering it then that's a different matter, know how they last in a grasskart - at best 50 minutes of racing

Light yard work they'd do alright, as in a self-propelled wheelbarrow, just don't put 16 cwt on the tray then hook up the tri-axle Ifor.... that's been the downfall of every other light farm vehicle, nobody keeps them light for long

300kg in the back will keep it going....

I was actually surfing eBay for a lightweight 2wd quad and noticed these. The baby compact is even making a mess on the fields!

I would actually say, it has a pretty ample carrier....

the Chinese come up with some brilliant ideas , you look at them and think yea just what i want , but its all just poorly made sh1t , if they were to put some quality into it they would be way ahead of most manufactures ,

Yes, they can do it.... It's the QC on teh factory floor that stuffs them. The good/better stuff coming out of China often is being produced for Western companies with close monitoring of production.

Are you in the middle of lambing by any chance?

We had one it was fantastic only 2wd an 250cc but it was geared low if you put some weight on the tray it would out grip a 4wd I wished we never swapped it

It's probably still a cheaper POS than buying an expensive POS. I don't know, but I am always looking for smaller lighter and more effective ways to get around the farm than "just buy the 1000cc one and hook half the farm on the back, put the other half in your pockets"

I only use 2 wheelers, a ute and a drone.. first I assess the situation from the air and then either put the tools in my backpack and ride out there, or bump around in the Ranger which takes 6 times as long to get there

Less is often more, is I suppose what I'm trying to say

Summertime, 2 wheels is also my choice. but right now, it is just to damned wet!* Just read the Quad thread and can see that buying a £7K+ quad is no guarantee of quality or reliability!

I do see ££££K Mule type vehicles being used like you describe....
