Gray Market Hinomoto
Model Year: 1982

This is a 20-30 year old tractor 4x4 w/ front end loader, it still runs great, but finding replacement parts is a pain. I have had to replace the gear in the steering column and the hydraulic pump. they had to ship me a pump from japan. the original price was $5800 as a gray market rebuild.

Pros: Inexpensive, strong, good diesel power.
Cons: Finding parts.

Hinimoto E2804
Model Year: 1984

This has served me well, it has a bulldog FEL. I think it is rated in the mid 30 horse power. It starts and runs without any issues, has great 4wd. I routinely move or pull things almost twice it's weight. The only problem I have is finding parts. The deal I bought it from used to call a used tractor yard in Oklahoma, I think, but now they won't return my calls and I am in search of someone that can get me replacements when I need them. I have only had to replace the hydraulic pump and the steering shaft gear. Once I got them installation was a breeze.

Pros: Good reliable, nice power to size.
Cons: Hard to get replacement parts.

Old Hinimoto e2804 Keeps Running
Model Year: 1980

This is a great tractor, it always starts, very little leakage, event though it was rebuilt 9 years ago. Pulls logs, bush hog, blades and plow without any issue. I beat the heck out of it and have snapped the frame and had to get it welded lifting rocks with FEL. It is back in action and still running great. The downside is how hard it is to get parts.

Pros: Runs great, pulls and lifts more than it's size.
Cons: Hard to find parts.
