Just got a new JM200LE. I paid $3599.00 for the machine. A local trailer sales business tried one container and quit. It was a choice of the 200LE or a JM2000 recon for $3295.00. I feel 3 cyl., power steering, the spring seat and new is better. A few problems so far. The throttle linkage will not get low enough or high enough. Seems to be binding somewhere. A small hydraulic leak near the brake pedal area. I had a 2 mile run down the highway shoulder to get a brush cutter installed. Comming back at idle the oil pressure went down to the red line, but would go up with RPM. The temp held 80C the whole trip. Every gearbox control is VERY stiff. Almost can't shift low to high, engage the PTO etc. Fit and finish is way below the Janmar. How is the fiberglass holding up on older machines? The steering at highway speed was vague. Is this normal?
Thanks for any suggestions,
