Len,,no arguments about the chinese tractor being a little rough in the finish,,,but as far as the castings go,,,china makes up for that somewhat by making thicker castings,,,japan can do more with less,you might say,,,and I haven't heard any body say anything about the hoes causeing anything to break,and I am on those chinese boards alot,,,leaks here and there,[as they all do],plumbed wrong,,,but nothing breaking,,,I believe they are all three point attached,,,aren't the littler big three 3 point attached as well?,,don't know,,hear people talking about taking them off and such...We are not talking about a big rubber tired backhoe here,,,small tractor,,that you can put a backhoe on when needed,and take off,when doing other stuff,,,I mean most of us don't need a backhoe period,,,better and probably cheaper to get somebody who has a big rubber tired hoe to do it,,,pay him 3 or 4 hundred,and call him the next time.As far as the reconditioned tractors,,I guess you meant yanmore,,,the same japanese company who makes the smaller john deeres,,,my neighbor bought one about 3 years ago,,got it,,front end loader,brushog,tiller,backblade for under 8,000,,,he,[seems to me anyways],has been trying to tear it up since,,,and it still runs fine,,,thingy
