Re: Grey Market, Cheap Market...... What\'s the deal?
You can buy Jinma new for about the price of a use grey market. That should tell you something though. If the new one isn't worth anymore than a 20 year tractor? The thing that would keep me from a Jinma is I understand they have quite a problem with seals leaking. And at 50 hours you have to retighten the head bolts and they say they are hard to get to, have to take off the valve train on some of them. Well, I havn't had one of those, so I can't say for sure.
