One Response to Foton Citrax FT254 Compact Tractor + Road Sweeper

  • I have been the owner of a Foton-254 (28hp) tractor for the best part of three years and I can say without hesitation or reservation that my Chinese Foton Tractor has been an excellent buy and value for money.

    The only failure that I experienced was after 14mths and out of warranty.
    The issue was rough running and intermittent black smoke.
    My supplier replaced FOC (customer good-will) a faulty fuel injector and I purchased the other two so that I could replace all at the same time believing (Murphy’s Law) that if one has gone, they all will go.

    I since found that the injector failure was of my own doing.
    I had been in the habit of leaving the engine on idle “tick-over” for prolonged periods of time when I got off the tractor to do something and over time, the fuel injectors started clogging.
    The lesson I learnt from this experience is to have a faster tick-over thus preventing the injectors from clogging which on reflection, is a general service condition.

    My tractor has been “good old faithful” and I cannot fault it in anyway. I’ve been so impressed that I am considering upgrading for a new one with more horses under the bonnet and still keep the old.

    If you are having any reservations about purchasing one of these Chinese Foton Tractors, I would highly recommend them as they are very reliable and have a high specification. I purchased several attachments and have not been able to make full use the tractors capability/ potential. These Tractors are not lacking or wanting in anyway.

    Kind Regards,
    Foton-254 Owner.
