New tractor at TSC

[Affordable]

The Minot tractors that TSC is selling are Jinmas,brought in by Farmpro for them, with the options that TSC wanted.They also put Koyker loaders on all of them. As a large parts supplier for Jinma in the USA, I would say that a customer with a Jinma Tractor could get parts as fast or faster than any of the Big three.We service all brands of tractors and always have to wait at least day or more for them to get parts in, before they can ship them to us,or we go to pick them up.We ship out Jinma parts the same day the order is received in most cases.Also try to buy a injector pump for a JD or Kubota, it will cost you around $ 900.00-1000.00, a brand new Jinma injector pump is $ 295.00 Assembly is the Key to the Jinma tractors and flushing out all the old fluids, and having all the adjustments made prior to the sale.

And how much confidence should we have that a TSC is going to do all this prep work before sale? Dealer always makes a difference - buying a Jinma from you or another "real" tractor dealer is probably different than buying it from a chain store...

If the local TSC stores start carrying tractors.. I'm afraid my wife may not let me go there unsupervised much any more!!

After looking at the castings and welds I can't imagine the durability factor. I'm glad they are available as competition ... but you won't see one in my drive. I just don't have the big parts problems with my Deere's and New Hollands. Most of them I have seen used for sale are " mechanics specials ".

The idea is to buy a quality product like a JD or Kubota and you won't need to worry about replacing injector pumps. With that said, competition is always great for the consumer. I saw one of these Tractors at TSC this last weekend, they have a long, long way to go to match the fit and finish of the big three. But, then again, it wasn't all that long ago that many said the Japanese tractors were junk and presented no real competion. Hopefully, these tractors will continue to improve and provide competition for the benefit of the consumer.

Oh Boy,

Another heated debate about to begin. Very interesting though..

We all have a need,preference,and budget.The Jinma no way compares to the quality of the big boys (yet) but it does fit the budget of the weekend farmers that use a small tractor to maintain small acreage tracks,mowing,tilling,discing,ect.that does not want or need to spend $20,000. or more to do it.They are looking for replacements to the 8N,9N tractors with something that has 4 wheel drive,diesel,power steering,live PTO thats where these tractors fit in.All equipment has problems read some of the forums on here ,most of the chinese tractor buyers know what they are getting when they buy it,and with parts and service avaliable more and more are buying them .We used to never sell Jinma parts to the big 3 dealers,we do all the time now and they are servicing them,that was unheard of years ago.I have owned and still own a John Deere 6210 tractor,and a Kubota L3300 tractor,Jinma 354LE tractor.They all have a place in the market,if a customer ask us about Jinma we tell them the truth,we are not tring to sell them as a equal tractor.I feel we must be honest about the product and let the customer make his or her own choice depending on budget,what they plan on using the tractor for.Bashing the chinese tractors is not the answer,they are here to stay like it or not

O.K.,I'll say it again,,chinese tractors are not as good a tractor as a big three or even big 4-5,,,no arguement there from any of us chinese tractor guys,that is if they are honest.But,,,they are 1/2 the price,,the little ones anyway as their big whatever counterpart. Now you gotta admit that is a selling point.
And ,despite what a few say,they are not junk,or disposable,,I got a 254 with about 600 hours and its never broke down,never failed to start,,,now some,for whatever reason,maynot have had as good a luck,but many are now getting over 400 hours on theirs without any trouble,they just ain't been out long enough for many thousand hour reports,although have heard of a few.
Also,you can read,[right on here] of the big 3-4 breaking down all the time,,with less hours than I got,,,but,they all break,even the better made ones.
You see men,nobody is saying they are as good as a new big three or four,,,but would rather have a new chinese tractor than a used yanmar,,,or a very used big three,,,they fill a little nich... Right now,,,and it may take 10 -20 more years,,but,they are here to stay,unless we get in a war with china,,,and in that case,it would be wwIII,,and in that case,,who cares about any tractors,,we'll be stealing horses and mules... thingy edit,,tommy,you wrote yours while I wrote mine! will add here for you all,I don't sell them,,,don't make a penny off them,so you can't say thats why I say these things,not saying thats why tommy says what he does,no,he's being honest,,but mine is totally unbiased as they say..if I woulda bought junk,,woulda been the first to yell about it,,thingy again

After checking out the sloppy casting quality on a painted black big name chassis, made me wonder what country it was cast in and I don't think anyone is questioning their durability factor.

Mornin Thingy,
I want to start by saying that I have never bashed Chinese tractors ! And Im certainly not going to start now ! When I decided that I needed a 30-35 hp range loader tractor with a deisel I looked at a bunch of equipment. I have a local dealer that sells the Jinma and I spent some time looking at them mainly because they were in my price range ! I did come to the same conclusion as Joe did, that I didnt like the looks of some of the castings, the IMO chintzy brake and clutch petals etc... I have been a toolmaker all my life and even though I feel I can fix a lot of stuff that breaks, when it comes to failed castings, that could present some major problems down the road... At the point when I ruled out a Chinese machine, my pocketbook hadnt changed so I started looking at used equipment. I finally found a 1986 Massey Ferguson that I could afford. The tractor had 1300 hrs on it at that point and to be fair about it, it was made in Japan. Its powered by a Toyosha deisel. IMO, if you parked that tractor next to a comparable hp Chinese tractor, the difference is like night and day ! Its much more solidly built, heavier and beefier castings etc... Certainly not to say that the Chinese tractors wont do the job, because obviously they ARE doing the job ! This decision worked for me, but it may not be the way for everyone. I personally dont have a problem doing some wrenching on a tractor to reapir it, but thats just me.....
