HELP ME !!! EPA issue in FLORIDA !

[AndyTractor]

Dear Bruce,

I did not say Jinma is not good.
I only said " <font color="red"> fibreglass hood is not strong enough" </font> & " <font color="red"> Jinma is still a fresh tractor brand to most Chinese farmers </font> ".
I am also selling some Jinma tractors now.
So that I can not say my Jinma is not good & I do not want to offend Jinma Tractor plant. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif


Your question:
<font color="blue">But wonder why other models are not advertised more to the US residents if they are more reliable units. </font>

<font color="green"> Because:</font>

1. Other Chinese tractor plants are of state-own (state-run); while Jinma tractor plant is a sharehold (private-own) plant.

2. In China, state-run companies have more disadvantages (defects) compared with those sharehold (private-own)companies, something like misgoverning, bureaucracy, conservatism, unenlightened, corruption, lacking of management; ....


3. Jinma have a very smart marketing stratege in USA markets ! They grasped the needs of USA markets. Just as Slowrev said :" <font color="blue"> In USA smaller tractor is quite often used as lawnmower</font> ", so that for Chinese tractors in USA, " cheaper " is better than "durable" !

4.Jinma did the technical & the hood modifications on their tractors according the American customers' feedback or requirements much quicker than other tractor plants.

5. Frankly speaking, maybe Jinma's quality is not the best among all Chinese tractors, but Jinma tractor's appearance(looking) is the most attractive to Americans.


6. I am a Chinese in China. I am coming here to find the solution to EPA issue. Maybe I should not say that much about our national system or management. But the truth is that Jinma becomes the most famous Chinese tractor brand in USA in the passed short years. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Andy,

I don't have an EPA solution but thanks for the info you are providing us. I think it's interesting to get a little insight from the Chinese side of our tractors.

Andy:

glad to hear more INORMATION from the china side of things. I looked into many different brands prior to getting my JINMA284 back 3 yrs ago. I have the fiberglass hood and it is holding up very well. (even had 200LB guy use it as scafolding when climbing up the hood and FEL to the barn roof when putting shingles on the barn!) I have had a FEW problems mostly was the Oil Pressure Gauge, and CLUTCH adjustment. I leave my ZL20 FEL on it all the time and have the front tires turned OUT to WIDE front End Stance. I think the heavy use of the FEL was/is why I had to adjust clutch sooner than expected, (300 hrs on it now) Like you said 100 hrs a year for USA side is typical of the CUT use we have, not as many hrs but the tractor feels very strong...

Is the JINMA factory planning on making a HYDROSTAT transmition soon?

thanks for info

Deadly Hurricane Jeanne strengthened as it crossed the northern Bahamas on Saturday on its way to deliver a record fourth hurricane strike in one season on densely populated Florida.

Hundreds of thousands of storm-weary Floridians battened down the hatches one more time, stocking up on batteries, water and gasoline, shuttering storm-scarred homes or streaming into public shelters. But many, emboldened by having survived Hurricane Frances three weeks ago, vowed to remain at home.

As Jeanne's 105 mph winds and 8-foot storm surge began to lash Great Abaco island in the Bahamas, a 700-island chain of 300,000 people stretching from Haiti to off the Florida coast, U.S. officials urged residents not to be complacent and to prepare.
