Re: They\'re at it again!

I love it when you let them know of the problem, and they give you the proverbial 'hand'.. they don't want to hear it. Or they just 'pass' along the same bad info they were given.

I bought my '51 IH cub.. turned out it was a '66 IH cub.. owner was adamant that they owned it 20 ys.. and it was a 51...dad had it.. etc.. Though serial number leaves no room for question...

Hinomoto did build tractors for MF before Iseki. 205, 210.220, 1010, 1020, 1030, 1035, 1040 are some models that come to mind.

Re: They\'re at it again!

I have a YM2200 listed on eBay right now and I have described it as built in the 70's with over 1000 hours. No bids yet at $2500, but at least it is an honest listing, plus you smart tractorbynet guys won't have to email me to straighten me out! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Re: They\'re at it again!

I was reading on several web sites that hino did make some models for Massey. I also read that Massey was manufactured in about a dozen places around the world--some by AGCO and some under license. Hinomoto, according to these sites did make some tractors for Massey. I guess the implication on ebay is that Hinomoto did and still does make tractors for MF. Apparently they did at one point make some, but not in the last 10 years. Yanmar did fully make some Deer models in the past, but not many (any?) now. They certainly make the engines, but not the full tractor. Just as those who say Deer owns Yanmar, or you can get parts for your Yanmar at a JD dealership, it is deceptive.

I guess the ebay post would be truthful if it said that in these years (whatever they were) made these (whichever they are) models. Deceptive advertising is often not total fabrication, it stretches the truth to some extent to try to get you to buy the product.

Smile, stay well informed and have a forum where people shoot down lies and half truths. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: They\'re at it again!

I was talking to a japanese friend the other day about tractors. He said that Kubota has purchased Hinomoto,
and we may see something in the future out of that deal.
My neighbor bought a massey the other day, and came by to show it to me,
He was very proud that it was made in the USA. until I showed him the metal tag on the frame , made in japan
He was floored and wanted to return the machine !! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Oh well If you cant beat them, JOIN THEM !

Re: They\'re at it again!

I believe the 790 and 990 are still built by Yanmar. The 41oo was built by Yanmar but I don't know about the newer 4110 and 4115.

Re: They\'re at it again!

Right now there's a 1986 Iseki TS1610F with 4.9 hours!! Item number is 2571448201. Wonder how they got the hour meter to read 4.9? It's a 4 place OEM meter.

Re: They\'re at it again!

A new hour meter!

Re: They\'re at it again!

The guy has to know he is de-frauding buyers by claiming JD makes that tractor..

Also.. that is a big yannie for a semingly small rotary cutter..? opinions? Doesn't look heavy duty to me... any idea of a brand...
