I asked them. They are made in China. Personally speaking, you need local dealer support for a tractor and you won't get it with on of these. Resale value...forget it! Good money spent on a good tractor is an investment. One of these tractors is a loss no matter how you look at it. My $.02.

The Nortrak is made in China by the Yancheng tractor factory. They are sold as Jinma tractors. I've talked to the folks at Northern Hyd. and they tell me that they will pay any local (to you, within 35 mi. if possible) tractor repair facility for warranty work and they will ship any parts. I plan to get this in writing as I am seriously considering buying one. If a mechanic is familiar with small diesel tractors, he should be able to work on one of these. Parts are available from Northern Hyd. and any other Jinma importer. I've found 4 in the US and Jinma is also exported to the UK. Look up Jinma tractors on any search engine.

It may be a hollow promise as most dealers will not work on tractors that they are not properly trained to service. They have no manuals or tools and will simply and politely tell you that they are not qualified to work on them. Save your money and buy one of the supported tractor brands unless you want to do the work yourself.

I've found 2 tractor repair shops and a heavy equipment repair shop that say they would fix a NorTrac, Kubota, Kioti, or any brand compact tractor. I'm planning on taking a trip to Minnesota to pick one up. I'm interested in the 254, 25hp - 4wd, with a front loader. I've also found 3 other sources for parts.

Dave did you ever get the tractor? I went to Northern last weekend and took a look at one of them. I am also looking at getting the 25 HP with loader and post hole digger package. I would really be interested in talking to anyone else who owns one of these tractors.

Im thinking real hard about the 25hp 4wd - and using it for mowing, thats a great price for something 8n sized with 4wd and more power....

Hi guys,
Could a Rhino be the same tractor? I have found this also to be made in China. Would like to know where to get parts on this one if something should fail.

Yes, they are. Nortrack, Rhino, and Nelly Belle are all the same tractor. All three have Web sites. They are also known as Jnma tractors. Use a search engine to find the Jnma web site, there you will find a link to the factory web site in The Peoples Republic of China. All have e mail addresses so someone should be able to give you some information.
