A few weeks ago I went to look at used Kubota on a dealers lot, but it had been already sold.....Left my number with him and he called yesterday to say he's just taken a Foton 454 in on trade. I've tried to look up reviews for a Foton 454 but found nothing......I have found Jinma 454s.....So assuming this tractor is a Jinma ( don't know if it's the same manufacturer ) any input as to the quality to expect?
It's a 2010 with 200 hours on it, heated cab and 4 way bucket. I have read that the tractors themselves are pretty basic and easy to work on. Not a hands on guy myself but the dealer that's selling has been around for a long time and has a full shop with good reputation ( Kioti dealer ) also my neighbour down the road is a diesel mechanic and has his own shop where he works on tractors.
The price seems pretty good but I've seen mixed reviews and know some people who weren't too happy with their Chinese tractor ( don't know if it was Jinma or not )........any advice gents? Thanks
