I'm sure we have some getting close, but keep in mind the current KAMA models have only been sold in any quantity the last 4 years or so, the average use is less than 100 hours a year on most of these "compact" tractors. but I have ordered parts for many 10 and even 15 year old Taishan tractors previously sold under a variety of names, many of those well used by now so the durability of these tractors is well established. Of course Jinma does not make their own engines. KAMA does, but for US market sources their EPA complaint engines, many from the same places Jinma gets theirs.

500 hours is not really a lot when it comes to diesel engines...and of course it seems that a lot of the higher hour users don't have much time to post about it here.
