In Reply to: China Best Tractors posted by Dave Lilly on Thursday, September 30, 2004:
I've owned a Jinma 284 now for three years. Has a FEL (front end loader), which I've used extensively. I also have a 72" finish mower on the back of it. I've had no problems with it except for a hydralic pump shaft failure that I think I caused. The good thing is that advice and parts were readily available and I had it fixed within 48 hours. In turn, I've been very satisfied with my purchase.
There is also a support website for all the Chinese tractor owners around the globe. It is www.ctoa.net Most all of the members are North American but some also from other countries. But it's very informative, with a lot of dealer, parts and service information contained. A very big support group for your purchase. You will even see that there is a poll on the site on the home page that is posted with positive and negative feedback on individuals Chinese Tractor purchase. It runs about 65% positive to 35% negative. Some people have more problems than others but most of the ones that have had issues, didn't have dealer support and didn't know how to handle the problems that they ran into.
So not sure if you've made your purchase yet, but wanted to try and give you some support for your decision.
Take care.
