    Moving Large Round Bales with Jinma 304

    I have a Jinma 304 with a Koyker 160 loader, with a bale spear that attaches to the bucket. Periodically, I need to move round bales for our horses. I don't have difficulty picking up smaller sized 4x5 and 5x5 bales, but the real big 6x6 rounds I can't pick up with my loader. I would guess...

    Can\'t Engage 4WD on Jinma 304 After using 4wd last weekend while turning my compost pile, I shifted back into 2wd. Now I can get it to return to 4wd, the lever moves a little but not all the way. I've tried shifting the transfer case with the tractor moving forward slowly, at a stop with...

    Crossover Filter #'s for Jinma 304?

    Crossover Filter #\'s for Jinma 304? I understand that a NAPA Gold 1515 may work for the oil filter, does anyone have a crossover for the fuel filter for the 3 cylinder engine in the 304?

    Cold Weather Starting Problem - Jinma 304

    When the temperature dips below the mid 30's, my Jinma 304 will frequently spin the starter but not actually rotate the engine with the turn of the key. I have a 2004 with the non-epa engine. Using the decompression release does not rectify the situation. However, after 3 or 4 engagements of...

    Jinma 304 Running Cool?

    My new Jinma 304 seems to run cool under all conditions. Last week the temperature here was 60 plus degrees while I was moving gravel, the temp gauge never went above 50 degrees. Anybody else have experience with this? The tractor seems to run fine, plenty of power, exhaust gas looks normal, etc.

    Operation in 4 Wheel Drive?

    Question for the board. I have a Jinma 304, the pigeon english owner's manual indicates that 4Wd should be used sparingly, and turning should be limited. However, when the ground is muddy, do I really risk any damage to the tractor operating it all day in 4wd instead of shifting back and forth...

    Initial Impressions of Jinma 304

    I've got 10 hours on my new Jinma now, and wanted to pass along some of my initial impressions. First, the 304 has plenty of power and it is a larger compact tractor. I could have easily made due with a smaller tractor, like a 284. The 304 doesn't have shuttle shift, an option that would make...
