They ripped off Tuff Bilt tractor's design, of course nothing new in Cuba including the 50's US cars.Maybe they'll rip off the design for the Chevy Vega that'd serve them right.

But, like I said last year, 2 blue plastic barrels, on the rear, and a couple more up front, and they can drive 'em to Miami...

Wow........I'm really behind on my Allis knowledge as I never heard of Tuff Built until I read this thread!
Whether the builder "stole" a Tuff Built design or not, it's a tribute to the original Allis machine for small farms and I'm pleased. If the price can be kept within the means of the average Cuban farmer I think we'll see a "mini revival" of small tractors of the early '40's.
It's a shame the narrator didn't specifically mention Allis Chalmers though, instead of simply saying "a 1940's design".

Cuban farmers don't own anything its a communist country everything is owned by the state.They'll probably try to pedal them in the USA because they can be built cheap with labor that's paid slave wages set by the gov't.

Yes there are still state run farms but farmers are now allowed to own small farm plots and sell their produce on an open market. The plots are too small for conventional farm equipment so that size of unit is ideal. Some farmers band together to form a cooperative that is large enough to justify more conventional equipment. I had a two week vacation there a couple of years ago and it was one of the safest and friendliest vacations that I have ever had.

Other than having the implements in the front and motor behind there is very little the tractors have in common.Its never been a design that caught on very big anyway all of the
Similar tractors G,Hines H-1600,John Blue,Tuff Bilt added together don't come close to
Farmall Cub numbers.I like the design I've owned a bunch of G's and have 3 Hines H-1600
tractors have their good point and bad.

Yea I hear its a real paradise drive 'classic' cars,make about $50 a month and look at all the boat loads folks from the United States trying to get into Cuba(LOL) Of course there is still one of the Big 3 Homicidal Manics alive and still running the country with an iron fist.

The company is based in Alabama, they are setting up a factory in Cuba. Their problem will be finding the money to finance the farmers wanting to buy the tractors. I got a call from a woman wanting to talk about their US made tractors as they were shipping some to Colorado, haven't called her back yet.
Oh, don't forget the Hefty G, I have one of those.
