Not sure I think it is Chinese.
I saw one last year and it looked like the Northern Tractors.

The Satoh 650G was also called the Bison. Two wheel drive gas powered by an 1100cc Mazda gas engine. Not a bad little tractor. Is it White and red?

If it has a 4 cyl gas engine, it is a Satoh/Mitsubishi, NOT chinese. Good little tractor, but beware: engine parts are rare and expensive. It is a Mazda commercial engine used in this tractor and Yale forklifts of the same age.

I have a Satoh s650g. They were bought out or replaced with Mitsubishi and were then called a bison from what I found out! It has the Mazda motor, with a loader and have a bush hog mower on it and have used it for 3yrs with no problems!! It runs forever on a tank of gas! It has a built in over-running pto clutch, power steering, and locking differential! You can run the pto either 540 or 1000 rpm just by moving the pto lever! 3stp trans with high and low, making it 6spd foward, 2 reverse! Kind of a handy little rig!! Live hydraulics but not pto. There is a picture of it in the tractor photos under Satoh
