Chinese tractors are already entering Britain—but the biggest question is not whether they are cheap. I examine what happened at Agritechnica, why Rabe appeared in Zoomlion green, and how Chinese manufacturers are approaching the British market.

I count down five tractor names, from Sirama and YTO to Loval and Zoomlion, while looking at prices, engines, hybrid technology, UK distribution and the challenge of building dependable dealer support.

I also explain the British rules around type approval, Stage 5 emissions, import duty and conformity documents, then set out the checks I would make before buying a Chinese tractor for a working farm.
