Ringo Tractor Information

[tdewire]

Hello,
There is currently a Ringo 30HP 4x4 tractor for sale on ebay at a very reasonable price. The spec plate says it was made by the Shan dong tractor company, Tai Shan model 304. Is anyone familiar with this tractor? It only has 100 hours on it but parts availability has me concerned. Thank you for any light you maybe able to shed on the "Ringo". tdewire

I've heard of Rhino tractors. Chinese for sure.
Here is a link that might help for parts. I don't know them so you would have to research more. Try Google to see if theres more.
I looked on EBAY and only seen a Rhino backhoe for sale, but no tractor.

pm one of the chinese tractor dealers on TBN to see if there is much parts support stateside for it . If it can be supported with parts, it may be an ok deal, otherwise stay away from it.

I think this <font color="blue"> </font> www.ringohill.com is the dealer who imported that tractor.
They are not too far from me but I havent been there in years.

Thank you all for the input! The tractor looks like a blue Marc 425 as sold by the McConnell Manufacturing Co. McConnell has a web site - sorry, I don't know how to post a link yet.

I'm pretty sure there was an auction at McConnell this year. Check around to see if they are still an ongoing entity.

We can order parts for this tractor from our factory in China. Some of the chassis parts will be same as TS254/TS354 currenlty imported and might be stock items but in general parts area availble, but most likely with a wait...

This appears to be a TaiShan 254 with 2 cylinder SD295 engine. The loader appears to be a China loader. A good price but it will likely have no warranty at all... buy it as a used tractor. We can special order parts as needed from China for this tractor, even have some parts in stock, chassis is similar to current model TS254C but not identical.
