    I'd be curious to see how well the electrical systems hold up. A lot of the European construction equipment I've had experience with the electrical system was the weak point.

    They also don't engineer stuff to handle the cold very well either from my experience.

    Ive wondered about russian equip . I know that the Belarus Ag tractors were good HD no frills equipment. Were imported thru Canada in the early 80's i think but there were a couple dealerships around Mid Tenn back then .

    I worked for an equipment dealer years ago and one of the product lines they sold/serviced was based out of Europe. The HVAC systems in those machines were so inadequate they couldn't even defrost the windows during a typical winter here lol.

    I think if they did market them for over here they’d be a lot more takers than the last time when they were over. Think the late 80’s. North America is the only continent that they don’t sell too.

    How extreme? I've seen -35°C to -40°C without windchill more than a couple times here in Canada.

    They sold a few of them here in the Northeast back in the 1980s,so this would be a “comeback tour” for them of sorts.
