New to me Jinma 224 : Slew of repairs (throttle, clutch, electrical, ignition, 3pt)

[buickanddeere]

We will see in 10 yrs and 5000hrs how many parts, how much those parts cost, how much labour, how much running around and how much lost production.
Injection pump replacement? Not that few hours.
Re-sale value in 10yrs?

The local thrift store sends us the cotton clothes they do not sell, we have been using them for years. Believe it or not, we get requests for Tee shirt sizes,Short sizes ect., we laugh all the time. We have a pic on the wall with a guy in a Tee shirt saying he may not be able to wait on his next order for the pants

Love it Tommy, thats great.

Unfortunately all the packing you sent me was ... more of the feminine persuasion. I dont think i could get away with wearing much of it.

Repeated because you did not understand the first time.
Anybody here familiar with any instance of when the cheapest price was not the lowest cost ?

Actually I been using mine for 12 years so THERE, last part i needed cost me less than 200 buck repair, almost exact same thing for my BOSSES JD wanna guess how much his cost? HINT he traded it in for a different brand & didn't fix his! OH BTW his has almost as much CHINA MADE parts in it as mine did...

Tommy the last bunch of parts I got I traded the TEE SHIRT I was wearing for the one in the box & daughter was wearing the girls skinny jeans

There's no way you can convince me that it would have been financially prudent for me to buy a much more expensive tractor instead of my Jinma. I bought my 354 in 2007 for $8500. It's done everything I've needed it to do. When I bought it I figured that if it lasted ten years and 1000 hours it would pay for itself and I have no doubt about hitting either of those marks.

Why buy more tractor than I need? By your simplistic logic that more expensive is always better, shouldn't we all be driving million-dollar combines to mow our grass? Think of the resale value!

You know that is an invalid exaggeration .
I still stand by the commonly known real world practical experience that the lowest purchase price is rarely the lowest operating cost and the most productive machine .

If the JD, Kubota. Yanmar, Kioti, LS, Massey or what ever had Chinese parts. They would be built to strict specs and quality control.
