Comparison JINMA 854(4WD)

Hello....I have a FarmPro 824 that I purchased about 7 years ago. It runs fine, but as I get older, my left leg really dislikes the daily workout it gets clutching the tractor. Can anyone tell me if Foton, or Jimna makes an equivalent (HP, Cab) tractor with a shuttle shift system (hydrostatic if I'm using the correct lingo).

My left leg thanks you!

Shuttle shift and Hydro are not the same. Shuttle Shift still requiers the use of a Clutch every time you change direction or gear. All the Shuttle shift allows you to do is change direction gear wise without having to stop First. It's an improvement, but it's still shifting.

If you do a lot of FEL work, hydro is the only way to fly.

I would be surprised if Farmpro, Jinma and Foton all don't make a Hydro tractor in that HP range. I always thought Farmpro, Nortrac and about 5 other names were all just Jinma's.

That should take AW32 hydraulic fluid.

thanks for that info

That is where it goes, sorry I missed that part of your question. Also note that you check how full it is by just setting the dip stick down, do not screw it in to check.
