Overview of the Isek i-Mini driver lineup. User’s Manual. The main distortions and how to eliminate them
Vector ISEKI Mini is produced by a Japanese company, which began producing agricultural machinery in 1927. The company was constantly modifying equipment, using new technology and trying to consider the labor of the local farmer. After gaining popularity due to the quality of machines produced in their homeland, ISKA managers gradually expanded their market.
In 1991, the management of the brand concluded a contract with the major manufacturer Massey Fergusson for the supply of engines and spare parts. Charged, serviceable units that came from the sponsor did an excellent job.
The models produced were not a development. Two years later, a new and improved “D” series engine was produced in conjunction with Perkins, the company’s diesel engine specialist. Through this collaboration, ISKI began to produce devices with their own engines, which are distinguished by quality and efficiency. ISKI also produces customized units and collaborates with major manufacturers such as Challenger. This is a world-renowned tracked series.
Thanks to mini-tractors, the Russian market is familiar with ISKI, which help improve the efficiency of tillage, are easy to operate and are equipped with reliable mechanisms.
Prices for new units start at $4,300 to $7,500. They are 2 times cheaper on the secondary market.
