I have a 06/07 Jinma 254 with the creeper gear that I never use and since I now have a Coldwater loader the shuttle shift option would be nice. I was wondering if it was worth putting a shuttle shift in and if so how much would it cost? I would guess I would have to split the tractor and take...

My 1995 Bobcat 753 cab is rusted and needs repair or replacing. The seat pan bracket is comming apart. I also need to replace the seals on the pincle shafts and it would be easier if the cab was off.

I am thinking of selling my Jinma 25hp 4x4 tractor with loader, my Bobcat 753 skidsteer and my trailer backhoe and replace everything with a Kubota tractor. We have BX2660's (mowers) and a L3200 (loader, backhoe) at work and I think something in between them would work for me. I would want a...

I was brush cutting last night with my Jinma 254 and needed the four wheel drive in a couple of muddy places and found it very hard to engage the 4x4. I did get 4x4 working finally and then was able to put it in 2wd easy when I didn't need the 4x4 but it didn't want to go in 4x4 again. Is there...

Could someone post some pictures and specs of the frame mount backhoe for a Jinma 254? I have a CAD Digger that I want to adapt to my tractor. Also should I use the tractor hydraulics or get a PTO pump? I just put on a Coldwater loader that has the two front mounts for the Jinma backhoe frame.

Where would be a good place to find a used cab, seat plate and radiator cover for my Bobcat 753? Mine is rusted bad. I think it was used in coal or salt mines down in Pa, it's really rusted for a 1995 but it runs and works well. What other models had the same cab?

What Bobcat model backhoes fit my 1995 753? I found a Bobcat 909 for a reasonable price. Anyone try a backhoe on a skidsteer? How well do they work? thanks

I just bought a Bobcat 753 that I knew it would need some work but for the price I couldn't pass it up. It runs and works well. The owner said it had a axle seal leaking. I did notice a small leak towards the back but all the levels were in the safe part on the dip stick. Last night I went out...

I own a Bobcat 610 which works well for being an older, smaller machine. I am thinking of upgrading to a hydro drive and diesel machine. I am looking at a 825 that looks in good shape, might need a few things like a battery but nothing major that i could tell. Does anyone know what engine is in...

We have a John Deere 5510 at work that we use quite a bit. The clutch is very jumpy there isn't a lot of play in it. Is there way to adjust the clutch on it? If so how? We would like to try that before having a new clutch put in. Thanks for any help.

I logged for a week with my Jinma 254 using Norwoods Log Hog three point hitch plate and the tractor worked great! I was really impressed with the power and traction it has! I put over 40 hours on it with only minor problems. The fuel gage stills dosen't work (never has since I bought it) I...

I was brush cutting in the back field when our 5510 just quit (it has just over 6000 hours). It turns over, there is over half a tank of fuel, I checked the fuel filter, bleed the system (fuel is comming out of the injector bleeder but not a lot), it did run for a few minutes then died again...

I have a new crate Jinma 254 that I am getting ready to do some logging with. Here are a couple of problems I am having with it. 1) The tack/hour meter (I have the single gages) won't work, there is a red wire (round spade end) that I don't know where it goes from it. There is a black (ground)...

I finally finished putting my new tractor together. With all the holidays and everything going on it's been hard to get the time to work on it. It runs good, there are a few minor problems the tack and fuel gauge don't work and the hyd. and power steering don't work. I live in central NY State...

I seen a Bulldog 254 tractor at a local John Deere shop, had a Koyker 160 loader, only had 10 hours on it. It looked like a Jinma but the tag read it was made buy someone else, are they similar? I really like the Koyker loader, this one had a quik attach bucket, is that standard on all the...

I am looking to buy a trailer for my Jinma 254 (when I get it), I will have a loader and someday a backhoe, what would I need and how much for a trailer to haul it? The trailer needs to be lite enough for a 1/2 ton pick up (have Chevy Z71 with heavy duty trailer package). Thanks, Ash

I know what tractor I want (Jinma 254) and what extras I want on it. The biggest thing for me to decide is the loader. I know the Koyker is a better loader but I can get the Jinma loader with the tractor for about $2000 (includes shipping). The best I have found for the Koyker is $3500.+. I have...

I was looking at an ad for new Jinma tractors and the dealer said there was 14 different combinations of the Jinma tractors. What are the differences? Are all the engines and transmissions the same? For example do all the 254's have cast iron cylinder sleeves, heat treated gears?

At work I run a couple of John Deere tractors (5200, 5510). On both you can shift the tractor in gear while you are moving like a car. You have to stop to shift between the three ranges. Can you shift the Jinma tractors that way or do you have to stop to put them in each gear? Thanks, Ash

Anyone use a ATV log arch? Where is a good place and brand to get one? We did a small logging job last year with a Kawasaki 650 4X4, Polaris Explorer 4X4 and Sporstman 4X4. They all worked well, but we need to get the front of the logs off the ground so they don't catch, looks a log arch would...

Anyone have any experience (good or bad) with the Nortrac, Overland, small dozers? Thanks

Was talking to my father today about the Jinma tractors and he is very interested in them also. He would want to use the tractor for logging his own woods. He does a very selective cut (my brother is a forester and over sees the timber marking/cutting) every 15 or so years and it is due again...

When I was looking at new Jinmas at a dealer this weekend, I noticed they all had shuttle shift except an older demo model that had an extra low range, no shuttle shift. They told me they are only getting the shuttle shift models. What would be better? I am planning on using the tractor for...

Hi, I am thinking about buying a new Jinma 2544 in crate from a dealer about an hour from here. Was wondering how reliable the tractors are, how easy it is to get parts, and how well do they perform. Most of what I have read about these tractors has been very positive. I use to work at a Case...
