Xinglaihe TB404-A9 / TB404-H1 Tractor
Xinglaihe builds the TB404 tractor in two travel versions on one XY477 engine rated 29.6 kW at 3600 rpm. The A9 has stepped gears in three ranges; the H1 has continuously variable speed within each range, up to 22.2 km/h forward. The design table lists a front PTO at 3461 rpm and a rear PTO at 750 rpm, two/four-wheel drive and a category 1N linkage. Pick the travel version for your work, then match the PTO and linkage to your implements.

Build my procurement briefStepped A9 gears or variable H1 speeds
The A9 gives fixed speeds for three forward gears and one reverse in each range. The H1 gives a speed span from zero in each range. If neither version suits the job, the TA304-A9 compact tractor and the TC504-A8 from the same maker are worth a parallel quote.
| Range | Design speeds in km/h |
|---|---|
| A9 high | Reverse 11.7; forward gears 1–3: 5.9 /12 /21.2. |
| A9 medium | Reverse 6.5; forward 3.2 /6.6 /11.7. |
| A9 low | Reverse 1.7; forward 0.8 /1.8 /3.1. |
| H1 high | Reverse variable 0–17.7; forward variable 0–22.2. |
| H1 medium | Reverse 0–6.8; forward 0–8.5. |
| H1 low | Reverse 0–3.7; forward 0–4.7. |

Slow work: test it with your implement
The H1 has variable forward and reverse speed spans. The table does not say whether the drive is hydrostatic or how direction and range are selected. Ask Xinglaihe for the transmission diagram and operating instructions.
If your work needs steady slow travel, agree a loaded demonstration with your implement: starting off, holding the pace you need and changing speed and range. The H1 low-forward span of 0–4.7 km/h is a catalogue range; the steady minimum speed and pass quality show up in the field. For the A9, compare its fixed low gears against the pace your job needs.

Front PTO at 3461 rpm, rear PTO at 750 rpm
The PTO row names a front and a rear output. The feature list also mentions forward and reverse PTO and a six-key shaft, without saying which applies to which output or version.
Which output your tool needs
Note front or rear mounting, required shaft speed and power, rotation and driveline layout. Front and rear shafts serve different tools.
Output chart for your build
Ask whether both outputs come on the A9 or H1, their speed relation to the engine and the engagement modes.
Interface and guarding
Get shaft dimensions, couplings, guards and approved tool setups. Match your tool to 3461 or 750 rpm as listed.
Run the tool
See the tool working on the tractor following Xinglaihe's instructions. Power at each shaft will be below the 29.6 kW engine rating.

Published specifications
Read each value with its stated conditions, and ask the manufacturer for any limit not listed here.
| Specification | Published value | Meaning / limit |
|---|---|---|
| Page / printed model names | TB404-A9/H1 / TB404A-A9/H1 [1] [2] | The printed table carries an extra A; check the nameplate model. |
| Engine design point | XY477; 29.6 kW at 3600 rpm [2] | Same engine for both versions. Drawbar and PTO power are not listed. |
| Variant envelope | A9 2760 ×1365 ×2320 mm; H1 2900 ×1365 ×2320 mm [2] | The H1 is 140 mm longer. Check implement mounting and transport for your version. |
| Wheelbase / turning radius | 1666 mm /2500 mm [2] | Same for both, as design values. |
| Clearance | 310 mm [2] | Tractor ground clearance. A mounted tool may sit lower. |
| Front / rear track | 930 mm /1040 mm [2] | Front and rear differ; no adjustment range is listed. |
| Front / rear tyres | 7-12 /12.4-16 [2] | Tube front, tubeless rear, dry-land tyres. Ask about other tyres for soft ground. |
| Drive switching | Two/four-wheel conversion [2] | Selectable drive. Differential lock and traction figures are not listed. |
| H1 speed form | Continuously variable travel intervals [2] | The table does not name the transmission type or describe the controls. |
| PTO position/speed entries | Front 3461 rpm; rear 750 rpm [2] | Ask whether both are fitted on your version, rotation direction and the engine-speed chart. |
| Lift / linkage | Hydraulic lift; category 1N [2] | Built to GB/T1593-2015 as cited. Rated lift and hydraulic supply are not listed. |
| Engine-block mass / emission label | 128 kg /fourth stage [2] | The mass sits in the engine rows; ask for the tractor's full mass. The emission stage is Chinese; ask about approval for your country. |
H1 length, turning and track
Both versions share width, height and the 1666 mm wheelbase. Overall length is 2760 mm for the A9 and 2900 mm for the H1, a difference of 140 mm. The table does not say whether it is at the front or rear, so ask for a drawing before fitting a mounted tool or planning transport.
The 2500 mm turning radius is for the tractor alone; a projecting tool sweeps a wider path. The 930 mm front and 1040 mm rear tracks are measured between tyre centres. Check the full tyre and tool width against your gateways and crop rows. For tight rows, put the TA254-A6 / TA254-A9 compact tractor drawing next to this one and compare the two envelopes.

Buyer questions
Is the H1 a hydrostatic (HST) tractor?
The table shows variable speed spans but does not name the transmission type. Ask Xinglaihe for the transmission diagram. [2]
Are 3461 and 750 rpm two rear PTO speeds?
The table labels 3461 rpm as the front output and 750 rpm as the rear. Ask which are fitted on your version and in which direction they turn. [2]
Why does the table say TB404A?
The printed table carries an extra A that the webpage heading lacks. Ask Xinglaihe to confirm the nameplate model in writing. [1] [2]
Can the H1 creep steadily under load from zero?
The table gives a span starting at zero but no tested minimum working speed. Check it in a loaded demonstration. [2]
Load and hydraulic data to request
Hydraulic lift and a 1N linkage appear in the table. Lift capacity and remote hydraulics are not given, so request them for your tractor.
| For your setup | What to ask Xinglaihe for |
|---|---|
| Transport and operating loads | Complete and loaded masses, permitted axle loads and the options fitted. The 128 kg figure belongs to the engine block. |
| Lifting a mounted tool | Lift force and where it is measured, your tool's mass and centre of gravity, linkage dimensions and clearance through the lift. |
| External hydraulic tool | Flow, pressure, valves, couplers and return line where needed. |
| Drive and soil | Operating limits for your site and how to switch between two- and four-wheel drive. |

Model name and documents
The website says TB404-A9 / TB404-H1; the printed table header says TB404A-A9 / TB404A-H1. Ask Xinglaihe which name appears on the nameplate and documents for your order.
Xinglaihe notes that all figures in the table are design values, including the fourth-stage emission label and the dated linkage standard. Ask for the model manuals, any approvals your country requires and the configuration being quoted. Price and field capacity are not in the table.
