Information searching - What does this mean

[Jim_in_Omaha]

While continuing my relentless pursuit of information regarding chinese made tractors I came across this->

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/chi-america/quesan.html

I'm sure someone has already wrote about this but I've been looking hard at the Jinma's and this site flames them big time. Any substance to the claims regarding the hydraulics and the gear box problems? The site claims that the 254 breaks the gear box and twists shafts. And the thing about dropping the loader on the ground without the engine running will pump the hydraulic fluid out onto the ground?

So far all my research has turned up that the Jinma made tractors are quite good considering all. A few problems here and there. My boss's new Ford Taurus died on him after 4 days. My brother's Harley had to have both jugs overhauled at 3500 miles because of factory defects in the heads. The local Honda cycle shop had to pull an engine on a brand new 1800 Goldwing for internal failure. That does not mean they all will do that. This site makes it seem as if the Jinma is a scourge upon society.

hhmmmmm......

Jim, this has been discussed in great detail on the CTOA boards. Keep in mind, Taskmaster sold Jinma for many years, and only commented on how good they were, while they were selling them. Supposidly, they were not successful with an exclussive contract, like they have with DF now, so now they bash them. Believe in your research, not the competitor's BS.
