first chinese tractor?

bruce1966us · Jun 12, 2005

Having averaged over 800 units per year since 1998 I am no beginner to either market. I see the Chinese tractor failure rates due primarily to lack of dealer prep. And I don't mean putting them together and checking the fluids. All should be worked under load for a couple of hours. It's amazing how many things can be worked out in that short period of time. And yes I now have a JM224 with a (loader from Ray at Coldwater Tractor) great deal on Ray's loaders! (I'm sure you know him well Buck and Ernie) that I use for my own just because of ROPS and dual stage clutch. Just my 2 cents.

Ray is a good guy and Bruce, you know I agree with you 100% I can’t imagine the problems we would have had if we had been selling them in crates.
I wanted to clarify also that in no way was my post designed to steer people away from Chinese tractors. I think people should buy them from their local dealer and enjoy the savings. If fact right now is the best time before the 25.7%tarrif goes into effect.

Fantastic post Buck. It is so nice to see an honest answer from a dealer. You and Chip and other dealers add so much info to this forum. It is appreciated.
