jinma 284

I would like to install an electric winch on my Jinma 284. Any suggestions - it looks like if I installed the winch on the front it would get in the way of the FEL.

Have been having a very difficult time starting my Jima 284. The dealer suggests a block heater made by Temro at 800 watts. Any suggestions or input?? Thanks

I am new to the small tractor scene. Would anyone buy this brand over another brand? Also I have been told that the metal is very weak, that was told to me about six years ago. I wonder if that has changed. I am going to buy a small size tractor in the near future and would like some help on...

I was having battery problems about 6 months ago. I replaced the original battery which was about a year old. The new battery worked fine for a few months but now it is dead every time I use it. I was able to charge the battery or jump it at first but now I can't even get the tractor to turn...

My oil pressure gage has always read high (pinned) with engine running. I just found an oil pressure adjustment located on the oil filter housing and instructions in the manual. Instructions are not complete. The adjustment lock nut was loose. I turned the adjustment in (clock wise) 4 turns...

I was using my Jinma 284. It died and when I tried to restart the battery seemed to be dead. I jumped the battery from my pickup and the tractor ran fine. I tried to start it the next day and it is completely dead. I tried to jump it off and it will not even attempt to turn over. The horn...

I've just fitted an LW-6 to my new Jinma 284. I got all the air out of the system and all the rams are operating, but oil is not returning from the backhoe tank to the tractor. Also, I can only operate the hoe by holding the tractor hydraulic control lever on "Raise". Has anybody else had this...

Hello - New to the forum. My 284LE overheats when I am brushcutting. I run it in 2nd gear. The main issue seems to be the radiator getting grass seeds plugged in it. Also the hood seems to keep the enging pretty hot. If I run it with the hood up in the early morning, it runs at about 100C. I...

Caution! DO NOT USE the knob/valve in front of the seat to regulate 3PH raise/lower speed untill you have examined it throughly and checked that the saftey/bypass valve on the 3PH control valve opens at the correct pressure. I was brushhogging blissfully along on my Mar05 production Jinma...

Have option of 284LE or 224. Does anyone have an opinion if 284 is worth $1800 more than standard 224. 284 is LE with shuttle shift and factory Jinma loader. 224 is older style with Koyker 140.

Hi All! I'm a proud owner of a Jinma 284 Fel and Backhoe for a year now, ( Lovin It ) Trying to find a Fel Grapple Thumb on the Net with little luck. Has anyone completed research or have any ideas?

Hi, I have a Jinma 284 with the front end loader attached. I have fluid spraying on my right leg (by the gas pedal) sometimes and it seems to be getting worse. I cannot track down where it is coming from. Has anyone had this problem before? It does happen all the time but when it does it...

Hi, I have a new Jinma 284 LE that I assembled from the crate. I have been hearing all this stuff about glow plugs and everything but I dont know what it is... Would this of been already assembled in the tractor in crate form? As far as how to initialize the glow plugs, my ignition does say...

Hi, I just got my crate tractor in the other day. I have it on the wheels and was trying to push it in the garage over the weekend but the back left wheel (as your sitting on the tractor) is stuck and I have no clue what to do with it now. The tractor is a shuttle shift (believe its in neutral)...

Hello All, I live in Northern Virginia, have 10 acres of rolling hill. 8 of the acres are virgin woods which I am trying to thin and clear deadfall. I already have an old Ferguson TO20, which I have managed to keep running. It does pretty well dragging things out of the woods but a FEL would...

Does anyone know where I can obtain operating and parts manuals for the Jinma 284? The ones that the dealer gave me are for earlier model Jinma's up to the 254. I'm not having any problems with the tractor, but being a rookie tractor owner/operator I would like to have the correct manuals.

I recently purchased Jinma 284 tractor, first time tractor user. While checking the tractor out, I noticed that the 10 amp preheater fuse was blown. I replaced it with a spare fuse and it blew also. 10 amps may not be the correct fuse for the prheater circuit. Can anyone advise me on this...

Just got my new Jinma 284 and already have a problem. I have used the tractor for 10 hours. Engine stopped and would not restart. Seemed like a fuel problem. I noticed that diesel was leaking from the plastic fuel reservoir. This container was also squeezed together from some type of...

Just bought a 284 last week. What hydraulic, and gear oils are you guys using. I was told buy the dealer that he used 15W40 all around. That sounded o.k. for the engine, but not the trans nor the hydraulic system. Also, I'm getting some seeping of hydraulic (?) fluid from the filler plug nut...

I have been looking at the Jinma line of tractor for the past several months and plan to take a much closer look this weekend. The one common question that the sellers of this tractor in my area can not clearly answer is: will the 354 go slow enough to rottotill? For those of you that have...
