Jinma Factory Pics

[Mr Bitz]

I have a quick question.. With the pictures above posted why do they show them assembled? Don't all Jinmas come to the U.S. in a crate? Or do they assemble them and then tear them down for shipping reasons? I'm new to this forum but you'll be seeing more of me on here.. Looks to be a great forum..

I believe they're assembled, checked, then torn down for crating.

The machines in the photos may have been for the local domestic market.

trust me, in China market, Jinma is not a big brand which is in top 3 sale in CHinese market.

 

[Mr Bitz]

So, what is big in the China market?

2012???????2012?????????360?

Look at this website, Chinese biggest website for agri machine business information, in the right bottom, it shows the rank for the brand which customer concerned, the rank is: Foton, Wuzheng, YTO, John Deere, Cherry, then is Jinma.

Foton is #1?? That surprises me. I thought the foton was a spinoff of Jinma. I wonder what makes the foton so special? Price? Or overall better quality?

The link worked for me, but unfortunately I don't read Chinese ideograms so it is useless. It could be just a rant from Chairman Mao and I wouldn't know the difference. :thumbdown:

I do know that Jinma has been making tractors in China from as far back as the 1950's, so I 'd say they are well-accepted domestically and quite likely to remain in business a good while longer. I don't know anything about the history or provenance of any of those other Chinese brands mentioned, though I do know Foton has a good reputation these days. In the recent past Foton's reputation wasn't as good as Jinma's, but that very well may have changed - the new Fotons look like pretty polished machines in the pictures I've seen.
