Thank you al for the useful advice. i did buy the Jinma but only because I determined from reading posts that everyone has had different experiences with all brands. Finally decided based on local dealer selling me on his product and services. Thank you all for your advice and happy tractoring. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Ernie, Yes, I did. Spoke to Ray and Henry and am getting one of their Jinmas on next shipment in week or so. He is getting 184's and 284's and since I have yet to see either, I put my name on one of each so I can decide when they get here and let the other go to someone else. 284 is $1100 higher so I'll have to see which way I go. Ray says that 184 is probably all I need so why spend the money. By the way, I am getting the 'in house' built loader installed for an additional $1500 on either Jinma I choose. Do you know how these loaders hold up. I know you have bought some in the past. Thanks again for the help. By the way, where are you in Oregon. I just moved to Wash. from Cottage Grove.
