JM-204 Jinma
Very Usable Small Tractor
Model Year: 2005

Never had any issues, does everything I ask of it, good pulling power, has more power than the spec sheet lets you to believe! Highly capable. Some of the build quality is a bit slack/could have been made with a bit better measuring. Only one spool is a down side and no fitted trailer light socket or power outlet is a bit of a hold back, but not for everyone. All around a recommendable tractor and parts are obtainable if you know the right people.

Pros: Powerful for size, very reliable, good first tractor.
Cons: Some areas of the build quality could be improved.

JM-204 Jinma
Great Tractor at a Very Affordable Price
Model Year: 2004

Not having an extremely large budget, I opted to purchase this Chinese Tractor. 4x4 is great and I have been able to purchase a lot of extras and have ended up paying a much less for all this than a name brand tractor alone would have cost. I have the standard FEL, a brush mower, a back blade, a landscape rake, a backhoe, and a post hole digger. Everything for less than $15,000 total. All were bought new and everything works quite well. It does take a bit more effort to remove and install some of them but the trade-off is worth it. Shuttle Shift wasn't available from the local distributor when I purchased mine and I wish I had been able to get this feature.

Pros: Does everything the name brands do.
Cons: A little more time to remove and install some items.

JM-204 Jinma
Siromer 204s (Jinma type but one imported english version)
Model Year: 2004

This was delivered in a crate and built by me and a friend. I have had this little tractor since new, it has coped with ploughing, cultivating, towing, mowing, running a hydraulic log splitter and running a chipper all without problem. But on a small scale. I have had a few mechanical issues along the way but nothing major and mainly down to the fact that when you pay so little you don't get top quality engineering and design. I have never had anything to compare this with but all I can say is that it continues to cope with whatever I use it for.

Pros: Cheap to buy and comes with all the gadgets,
Cons: It is basic in its design and rustic in build quality.

JM-204 Jinma
Jinma 204`
Model Year: 2007

The price was the determining factor. Even if I have a major breakdown, I think I'm still ahead as far as price goes. The alternator as well as the regulator died and two glow plugs went south as well. The dealer supplied both with no problems. I will eventually will replace original alternator with a GM one. The boot over steering cylinder had to be replaced. I used a Rancho shock cover. I bought it with a Koyker 120 loader as well as a BH-6600 backhoe. No complaints with the loader. Nothing major with the backhoe other than the swing is hard to control (i.e. speed). Using swing with another function helps slow it down as well as more practice helps. I have developed a small leak in the pto pump gearbox, which I would imagine is just a seal. Hydraulic fittings are #5 JIC but a poor version, threads are poorly formed and hoses are poor quality. All cheap Chinese grease fittings have been replaced (8mm) because they kept breaking off.

Pros: Price & simple mechanics to repair.
Cons: The electrical system is weak at only 15A. The clutch is stiff and the shuttle shift is hard to engage.

JM-204 Jinma
Rhino 204
Model Year: 1992

I would not have bought this tractor had I known how difficult getting replacement parts are. Plus the Chinese tractor cannot do what other tractors can like JD, Case, New Holland and others. I am constantly ready for another breakage of some kind all the time. And it happens all the time. Every 2-3 hours of use something goes wrong.

Pros: Price, small size, & fuel economy.
Cons: Build quality, parts availibility.
