My Foton 254 just went to 500 hours yesterday. It had over 450 hours when I bought it. Richard

I am right around 600 hours, well actually 590ish. My tractor is a 2003 Jinma 254 and has been a work horse. Only a few minor issues like a starter that needed replaced and a few small things I broke, or helped along.

500 hrs and no major problems, keeping up with oil chances greasing checking bolts etc is the key. I have seen top dollar machines fall to pieces under the wrong owner.

I've got 391.4 hours on my 2005 Jinma 354 LE. I have become so attached to it I wouldn't give it up even if I won the lotto. Lets face it, these are awesome tractors for the price paid and will do anything any other tractor can at 1/3 to 1/2 the price. If I did win the lotto, I would buy one for each attachment so I could just grab the tractor I needed with the TPH implement already attached!

My Chinese dozer (I guess that should count too) just turned 425 engine hours on the clock, without deducting for backhoe time.
The only significant problems I've had were the ones that I full well asked for, like throwing tracks (I do not consider redesigning or modifying a type of problem ).

We did a clutch replacement on a 2001 Agracat (Jinma 254) that had 1155 hours on it last year,the tractor looked rough but started at a bump of the key,it was well used.The owner loved it,but was eyeballing the shuttle shift models on the lot.He said he would buy another one withour hesitation.

Just clicked over 600 hrs. on a 03' Jinma 204. Best money I've ever spent. Use it nearly every day.

After reading some of your post{and others} here and on the ctoa forum I decided to buy the nortrac dozer. I've put over 100hrs so far and am very happy with its' performance/power. Plus my little 254 keeps chugging along without any major problems.
