Got talking to a machinery rep today about various popular brands who said the solis tractors, particularly the solis 50, are massively growing in popularity. I've found a couple of threads on here about them, but nothing very recent. Has anyone got one? How do you rate it??
Thank you @Deutzdx3, a more on topic, helpful post!!Looked at selling solis when David tunstall was bringing them in before any one else. Chap from solis came down to see us to discuss terms. Very good company. Keen and reliable. They will out last the Chinese machines and Turkish I believe. Strong well built bits of kit. Pretty sure I have the tie still I was given as a gift.

Iāve got a 20 for a year now, simple no frills tractor, turning circle could be better, bit of a gap between 3rd low and 1st high, other than that, no issues, good lift, build quality is good, drives nice, lots of power for a 20hp, have it on a 6ft finishing mower mostly, canāt fault it for the priceI take it no one knows what solis tractors are like then? Maybe I should get one as a case study!!
Here here , empty milk churns make the most noise !!!!!I laugh at these threads. Someone asks about a 'cheaper' brand tractor and others say 'don't get one, they're rubbish, can't get parts, worth nothing after a year, no back up' etc etc.
Then there will be another thread saying 'we all want cheap, basic tractors, why does no one make them any more?'
I have recently bought a sollis 50 with a 4 in1 loader which I am very pleased with except it has a stupid device which if you overload the bucket it will empty it. I have pallet forks and lifted a pallet of firewood The pallet was about 3 ft off the ground and it decided it was to heavy and promptly tilted forward and dropped all my firewood onto the ground which I had to reload again.Got talking to a machinery rep today about various popular brands who said the solis tractors, particularly the solis 50, are massively growing in popularity.

I recently saw an ad for a S50 with iron and earth I think it was for Ā£20k +VAT with 3 yr warranty IIRC. Looks like a really decent tractor. What would be the lifting capacity on yours?I have recently bought a sollis 50 with a 4 in1 loader which I am very pleased with except it has a stupid device which if you overload the bucket it will empty it.

See if you can train it to do it when required rather than when it feels like it.... Stupid safety features , whatever next? Wonder if the dealer can disable it for you. This "safety" feature could actually cause an accident if it did it when you were moving around!I have recently bought a sollis 50 with a 4 in1 loader which I am very pleased with except it has a stupid device which if you overload the bucket it will empty it
