Chinese tractor get ink

[Jvilljoe]

I work for a company that make attachments and accessories for heavy equipment. We get bunches of trade magazines every month and of course, most of the articles deal with the big dozers, excavators, skidders and loaders, the really big stuff. So imagine my surprise to find in the January issue of North American Diesel Progress, an article on Chinese tractors! Jinmas were mentioned prominetley as "the most widely imported" brand but all the others (Kama, Taishan,Futian etc.) were mentioned as well as the rebadged Jinmas (Nor-trac, Farm Pro etc.). The article was very fair and discussed the various ways of purchasing, stocking dealers and internet sales, parts availability, crate tractors and preassembled and how they can be 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the NH's, JD's and Kubotas. They also listed web sites including this one, COTA & NYCTOA and John's Tractors.

Joe,

Was this article in "Diesel Progress"? A person from that mag contacted me, back in November. While I was able to point them in some general directions, was unable to ever match schedules for the requested phone interview. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Not sure what I could of added, anyway.

If it is this mag, PM me, I would like to get a copy of the article somehow. Thanks.

I find that very interesting. I'd like to read the article. I googled the name you posted and found North American Diesel progress but the latest magazine online is Nov 05. It is a interesting site. Has about all the news in diesel.
