I farm, as quite a few folks have at least a
background in farming around here. I put 300 hours per year as a minimum on
each of 6 tractors. I looked at these China tractors, Jinma dealer
& Homier sales. They have poor paint, rusting
already & weren't even sold. They have very,
very poor looking hyd controls on the loader
controls, I would break them in 50 hours, and
i'm pretty gentle on my equipment. The whole
fit & finish looks poor. Tolerances for various
things just look like parts are waiting to fall off. If someone needs a tractor for 50 hours a
year, you probably could get by without a
tractor, or rent, or get a $4000 old tractor. Buying these China tractors, you will be stuck
with it. No one is going to pay much at all for a
used one. While I have never run one, I've inspected
them, and there is little good to say about their
design or quality. If one has to have a new tractor, and won't
actually use it, and does not need to depend
on it, then I suppose it's an ok purchase. I'm not trying to pick on you Dan, I'm just
offering my opinion to the original poster. I'm
glad the machine has worked well for you. My
local mechanic would have a dozen or so
stories of total falures, with very difficult parts
sourcing. At least the parts are so crude, a lot
he could have built at the local machine shop,
and were far better than oem. Forty years ago cars from Japan were a joke.
Now they are some of the best quality. Welcome to China. We might get good
tractors from them in 40 years..... --->Paul

Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
