Sanko began exporting pre-owned tractors 15 years ago. Today, we ship some 2,500 units a year to importers in a number of countries. Pre-owned Japanese tractors continue to win a high reputation for quality, reliability and performance, wherever they are sold.Japanese farmers generally run small-scale operations and tend to choose tractors in the 20 hp class. Because these units are mainly used in rice fields, they are only operated for about ten days in the year. Therefore, even a 10 year-old tractor is unlikely to have much more than 1,000 hours on its hour meter. Offering low capital outlay, economical operation and near-new reliability, these high-quality compact tractors are ideal ? and increasingly popular - labor-saving machines for not only small-scale farmers but also hobby farmers and gardeners.
