I have a HT-65, racoon and I have no complaints with it. It has a perkins, air conditioning,heat, bucket leveling. It's very stong, and sure footed. veiw from cab only fair. Only complaint is trying to get maitanence parts and maintanence documents. The super part of it all is the price, you can buy two of these for the same amount for one case or New Holland equivilant. I think the introduction of these machines was at the wrong time, and china did not want to spend the money to set up a parts suport and service network in the USA. So they lost out.... To intoduce them again now to the usa is going to be very costley and difficult. There is also a Magnum skid steer group that is also the same product built By Hero Time Machinery Co. It looks to me that most of the parts in the machine are not made in china but are surplus from other companies. It looks like they took parts and features from bobcat, case, new holland,cat, and a few others,picked the best and came out with a decent machine. The only thing they left oiut was a service and Sales plan. I only put about 200 hrs a year on the machine and have had only minor problems. I have found no parts in the usa for racoons, but they are out there if you can find the part # of the other manufacturers parts...
