Those looking for the best bang for the buck should look at Jinma or Tytan. I understand there are some great deals on used Tytans right now. Bad dealers should be a huge factor in where to buy and the OP has taken that into consideration.

That would be my overriding concern with either company...
On another note...
Your wants in a tractor describes the older 1720/1920 series from New Holland...
I have a 1720 that weighs in at 2800# before the tires are loaded...
If you can find a decent unit they will bring good money...
Just food for thought...

I own a Kubota B2320 now with 414 hours of trouble free service, and I worked it pretty hard grading land and digging/hauling/pushing boulders.

What I remember most about owning this tractor: A couple months after buying it I stopped in at the dealer to buy chain and grease. I was kidding with the salesman about having only a one year bumper-to-bumper warranty, and that it should be longer if Kubota is truly as good as it's supposed to be. He said "it is that good, go home and TRY to break it." Good enough for me that he has that confidence in the machine.

I took a look at one of the sites that (Jack from China ) provided
And looked at one of the tractors a TYTAN supplier builds.
It was pretty impressive machine with over 150 HP, definitely a serious piece of machinery...

If I was in the market- and KNEW I could get any parts needed to maintain the tractor, I would go to the bankruptcy liquidation for sure... Hard to say if that is how it will work
It does make me wonder what kind of prices the Tytans will sell for.

Many people have said they were built from commonly available parts. That would apply to bearings and seals, etc. So if you are handy and if the price is right..... Failures such as broken crankshafts would be a big concern.
