Scored the top marks on road speed and ease of gear change, but for these high marks the operator has to contend with a raised centre console of levers getting in and out of the machine. The narrow width of the tractor combined with the central levers provides a slightly cramped position for the operator to work in. The high elevation of the tractor would be better served with another step below the footplate.

Good solid tractor, equalling the other tractors on most criteria. Plenty of horsepower for your money. Drawbacks included high fuel filling position, and ripped turf on tight turning circle. The main problem was the close proximity of the four hydraulic couplings to the top link. This would prove difficult when using more than two hoses at once in conjunction with mounted equipment.
We had originally asked for tractors to be submitted between 30-4
TYM 45 Hp, but as testing
was based on each respective tractor, models that were slightly below or above this requirement were included. We did also ask that tractors weren’t supplied with a cab, and that all machines had to be on turf/grass tyres. Manual gear or hydrostatic drive was optional.

Contact Jeff or Cath 01253 799014 An interesting inclusion for this
assessment. The tractor is the newest addition to the Siromer range and the larger horsepower machine was supplied as a prototype. The levers were not labelled because the cowling was not in place and the brakes were not the production brakes. The seat supplied was not for production, the seat in production will be an EU approved seat. All that said and done, it is a good basic tractor with a budget price tag.
Views from the sharp end!
James Mead (Rugby School) “We’re looking to purchase this year, this open day has been professionally organised and leaves me with no need to look elsewhere. St Albans School is also a super venue and holding this event has been a great opportunity as well for them.”
Kevin Duffill (Hawkswell Athletic) “For any operation with scarce funds and resources this has been an invaluable use of time.”
Steve Potter “It’s been great to concentrate on one product, evaluating all the features and benefits in one place without any distractions.”
