Flat Pack Tractors Arrive In Australia.
Assemble & Save ! Pacific Supply Group is proud to announce the release of its exciting range of small Tractors, available in Australia as FLAT PACK Tractors. These 20 and 30 HP units are Chinese built and encompass British technological advancements. For the past 3 years, Siromer in the United Kingdom has sold more than 1000 of these and continues to lead the way in the small Tractor market. With the arrival of the Flat Pack Tractor in Australia, it is now possible to build your own compact, resilient, reliable workhorse, on the weekend, at a fraction of the cost of assembled Tractors currently available in the market place. The assembly instructions, engine and operator manuals have been compiled by Siromer in the United Kingdom, and supplemented with Australian specifications and requirements by Pacific Supply Group, in Beachmere, Queensland. All Parts and consumerables are held in stock for easy access. Each Tractor is covered by a 2-year or 1200-hour, parts replacement warranty, excluding consumerables.
