New guys take on pros & cons of 45 HP range of CUT's

Has nothing to do with my tractor is better than yours. I am not that nieve to thing one 28HP tractor is magically making more power than another 28HP tractor. That being said Jinma rates at a 12 hour average, not peak like so many others. Hince, my 28Hp tractor turned 31 peak PTO hp on the dyno at my dealer. Look at any other 28ish HP tractor that is made today and they are 1000# lighter. That is my point and many major brands have gone away totally from gear drive. Lack of weight and loss of power due to hydro tranny. That was my whole point.

I'm looking at my owners manual, and the gross weight on a Mahindra 2815HST is not to exceed 5070lbs. And if I remember correctly from past posts, they also normally have a few more HP than they are rated at. I think that somewhere you have said that yours weighs 5000-5500lbs with ballast? I think that you may have made a bold statement without actually knowing the weights of all the OTHER tractors out there. But then I very well could be wrong too.

Oh, and since this is way off from the original post, maybe if this is continued, a new thread should be started.

You are correct, the max weight is 5070#. The tractor itself only weighs 2458#.

I am by no means saying Jinma is the best. Its far from it. When I bought this tractor I tried out a NH, JD, Case, MF, Branson, Century, Montana, ect. The Jinma was what I wanted. Something good at pulling. Its just a brute of a tractor with great pulling power and is easy to operate and maintain. They are dead simple and tough as nails. HP for HP I have not seen anything that will out work them. Fit and finish, creature comforts, ect are not their strong suit.

Oh really?

I will put a Jinma 284 up against any current production 28Hp tractor. It will flat drag it around.

Sure sounds like someone saying their tractor is the best to me!

Yeah, it sure sounded that way to me as well.

Saying it would drag around is not saying its the best. I am saying HP for HP there is nothing on the market that I have seen that can out pull it.

I could be wrong but if he's planning to grow Christmas trees they won't be going in with a 3' auger. They usually would be tiny saplings about 6" tall planted with a tree-planting shovel. A tiller might be useful depending on soil. They'd presumably be removed with a chainsaw, maybe backhoe to take out stumps.

I was thinking he was planting "Christmas Tree" sized pines (5-6') with balled bases around his property for privacy. I usually plant them with a Danuser digger and a 3' tree auger.

Diamondpilot, how much does your Jinma weigh, no ballast, no loader, just plain basic tractor?

Seems to me you have a way of insisting everything you own is the best.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I'll likely be planting a variety of Christmas trees of various ages. Mostly, however I'll be planting babies with a shovel, by hand for harvest in a couple years. I figure I'll have a couple of rows of trees around the property and I'll plant new trees in different rows every year so that in a few years I'll be able to harvest Christmas trees every year while still having at least one row of trees maintained for privacy. Also I figured that the backhoe would come in handy for removing stumps. As much as I like to do things to the point of overkill, even I couldn't justify a backhoe for planting trees of the size that I intend to be primarily planting. I think that a CUT mounted backhoe could very well be THE right tool for this task of removing stumps in this application though along with some of the other potential uses I had in mind.

UGH! All I seem to be doing is removing stumps with my backhoe lately. They do work great for that application.
