If so, look out BX2230, GC2300.....

Don't really think MF or Kubota has much to worry about. If you see these tractors in person, you might walk away shaking your head. At least I did the last time I looked them over real close. I talked with the owners daughter for a bit and she informed me they were made with Chinese engines and some were I think Mitsubishi. They looked to be manufactured in someones garage. I've heard some people bash Jinma, FarmPro, whatever. But these were rougher than that.

I wonder what those Chinese subcuts cost??

The 2504m looks like it might be a reconditioned grey market mitsubishi. It's definately not Chinese.

Well what do you know? That dealer now has one for sale up on E-bay. He claims it is a demo with less than 50 hrs on it, but i say it is a reconditioned mitsubishi. Do you think he would be honest and tell the truth if asked? E-bay tractor
Here is more proof it is him. This page is linked from the one from N. Royalton. And look who he says is his user name on E-bay. Wep Page He shows used mitsubishis on this page.
Sounds like deception to me. And i read before from this guy where he used to speak ouit against Reconditioned tractors....and now it looks like he is selling them, unless of course you believe that 30 year old mitsubishi he is selling on E-bay really has less than 50 hours on it.

It could very well be a "New" tractor. Here's why. A few years back I was at the National Farm Machinary Show and there was a dealer up there that was pushing an Indian (the country, not the guys with Teepees) made tractor that looked just like a Mitsubishi painted a tan color. I mentioned that it sure looked like a Mits. His story was that the Indian company had bought retired tooling from Mitsubishi and was building tractors with it. They looked rough though. They failed to buy the Japanese quality with the tooling.

If it's in fact been manufactured since 1976, I wonder which exemption the eBay seller is claiming - to explain the lack of ROPS (?)

It don't show a rops in the picture,but in the discription it list rops.

How is ebay handling selling used imported tractors. I've seen quite a few examples from other countires.. specifically india.. with no rops.. etc.
