Soundguy,
I learned that they hire a lot of local help for their sales. Maybe you got one of the "go-fers" minding the tractors that day.

Homier is in town and are advertising their tractors in the flyer. I'm gonna' stop over some night and have a look.

It would be nice if the tractor rang up for 30% off the listed price like everything else. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

I wouldn't doubt it. This guy sounded as if he was reciting the one page ( how to sell a tractor ) manual they passed around to the new help.

Most importantly, the tractor looked at least passible. There were a few QC issues.. but no life / death deal breakers.

For instance, the electronics are huddled together in an open cluster under the hood mounted on a fairly flimsy backing panel. I see that vibrating loose and needing stabilization about half way through bushhogging my pasture.

But again.. like I said.. that is a minor minor issue...
I wouldn't be scared to buy a jinma tractor now that I have ridden one... I would want a manual, and a on paper address of where to order parts from though.

They are Jinma tractors,configured as cheap as possible,Go for a Jinma from a Jinma dealer,good machine for the money,we order them as loaded as possible,I sold a loader assembly to a customer who bought a farmpro from Homer which we found out was ordered from the factory with a oversized battery box .,so the loader mounts had to be modified to fit ,I wont ask why they ordered them that way unless they wanted to be sure bolt on loaders can only be bought from them to increase the $$$

I visited the Homier show last week. They had an 8 page flyer in the paper that included tractors but when I got to the show (the 2nd day of the 3 day event) they were still setting up and only had about 100 item set out for sale. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

No tractors and no one to ask questions. Oh well maybe next time they come to town.

It's getting easier everyday to get parts for these tractors, is in the process of setting up an online Jinma parts site. You can find it at <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.jinmaparts.com/> Jinmaparts.com
