Like the Belarus brand (which everyone around here insisted on pronouncing as "Polaris" :banghead: ) Russian farm tractors that were imported for a while, finding parts, even something that should be as easy to replace as a battery, might prove a real challenge.
Hardly Russian.
Belarus actually means that, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus , like the country it comes from.
Fair enough. Since people around here couldn't pronounce the name right, I shouldn't have expected them to get the location of manufacture right, either, but in fairness the dealers who sold them called them "Russian" tractors.
