C144 Hinomoto
UnKnown as for Ratings
Model Year: 0

I just bought the tractor and has to experience what it's reliability and performance will be. It's just to early to honestly answer theses type of questions.

Pros: Seems like a good value for the price.
Cons: Not sure of availability of repair parts.

C144 Hinomoto
Not Sure if this is Value Added
Model Year: 1980

I'm somewhat satisfied with the C144. So far it has been a good tractor. Parts are expensive and hard to find. I've found Agco and MF dealers just want you to trade for their models and are not interested in getting parts. Filters all have to be ordered since no one carries inventory. I guess you just plan ahead when do do service work.

Pros: Seems to be a good tractor so far.
Cons: Few parts.

Tough Little Tractor
Model Year: 0

The starter is the weakest component. I had it rebuilt once and replaced it in May of 2010. The rebuilder told me it was like a Datsun. I got a replacement at NAPA by looking at their pictures. The one that works fits a 1985 Nissan 720 Pickup cranks faster than the original.

Pros: Durable.
Cons: Hard starting in cold weather.

Purchased this unit with loader and blade to level ground and remove ice and snow when we get some. So far has been reliable and gets the job done. Thinking of selling it due to chance of moving.

Pros: Handy to have around for the small jobs. Easy to maintain.
Cons: Has filled tires which makes ride a little rough.
