My new Jinma

[dfkrug]

Question for you owners of Chinese tractors:
What drove you to these other tiny tractor forums that focus on Chinese
tractors? What is it about TBN that did not meet your needs? It seems
to me that maybe 90% of posts on TBN could be of interest to owners or
potential owners of ANY brand of tractor. I would like to see more
expansion in the area of skid steers myself....it could happen.

("Jinma" in the title, so no hijack here. )

You apparently misread. What they were talking about WAS one of those "tiny sites" that apparently got TOO exclusive. The offended members quit in favor of their own site. Many of them are still participating members here as well.

I think I understand what happened. Rob has been excluded from a
Chinese tractor forum (CTO, I think). Their loss, I am sure! What I
want to know, from the user perspective, is why TBN members with
Chinese tractors felt they needed to join another forum. There is an
area on TBN for these tractors....what value (not provided by TBN) do
they get from these other site(s)?

For me, TBN is great! I love checking out the tricks ALL tractor owners come up with. However, there are so many different Chinese brands and it nice to go to a board that has different levels of our tractors. Here at TBN it's just all clumped together in one obscure thread. Maybe we just want to feel special. Kind of like if your were on HotRod.com but had an import... I guess...

All Chinese All The Time, type of deal. Plus, it seems as tho one guy who has a 30 year old Deere or Kabota thinks they have the right to get snootie just cuz we choose a new Jinma, Kama or whatever.

Lots of guys have pride in their Chinese Ride. So naturally a site just for them is the way to go.

Hmm. I resemble that remark.

Really, I didn't intend to come off snooty. The thread title was Jinma crate tractor against an older Kubota and the guy was asking whether to use Dad's tractor, only 192 hours, or build a crate Jinma. I suggested use what he's already got. If instead he had inherited a 20 year old Jinma fully assembled and under 200 hours, I would have said use that one. Sorry if I went and sat in the wrong pew!

Anyhow, I would like to read more about My New Jinma. I might buy one someday myself.

Hey man, that had nothing to do with your post at all... Unless you consider owning Kabota wheels as actually owning a Kabota... Ha Ha JK...

the other site provides a place to share stuff about chinese tractors or tell a joke or make a wise crack without being hauled off to the principals office.

Hunh? There is a separate TBN area called "Chinese Tractors" and it is quite
active.

Once upon a time, TBN was Kubota-only, and indeed not too long ago TBN
became the place that most Kioti owners and prospective owners came to,
over other tractor forums. Now TBN is prob the biggest and serves all brands.

I own a Kioti and a Kubota now, but that is always changing. I rarely
go to brand-specific areas of TBN. Instead I look for recent posts by
poking "24 Hours" or "Since My Last Visit". There have been plenty of
posts on Chinese tractors that I have found interesting.

Loretta has been pretty busy with her "real" job so I thought I'd post some photos for her. You remember when my son Matt and I went to Scott's yard to pick up the tractor and implements? It was the week after Larry left and Loretta had to go back to work too.
so I got my son Matthew to take off work and help out. We spent all day unloading the crate not only for Loretta's tractor, but for Scott's tractor and all his implements.
Here it is being unloaded and assembled at the yard.



Then we put the wheels on but only after switching them out to the widest stance for added stability. We also put the wheel weights on the inside for the same reason. Then we loaded it on the trailer and drove up to the property late that night and unloaded it. At this time we were not able to start the tractor yet.
