Does anybody have personal experience of buying and running (new or used)  any of the Chinese built compact tractors?    I am looking to buy a 28hp compact tractor, but I note that all the importers/dealers of the Chinese imports are very cagey about disclosing info on the warranty with these machines.   I have heard of brand new ones breaking down soon after "launch" on even simple light work  -  and being out of action for months whilst arguing with importers/dealers about warranty and availability of spare parts.   I wouldn't normally by Chinese as a result, but at a third of the price of mainstream compact-tractors in UK, its very tempting   -  if  someone can tell me of a good one to buy I would be grateful?

They may very well be okay, but I've heard of them breaking in half, arriving with the cases full of old oil and water and so on. I wouldn't risk it. You're talking about a great deal of money in either case. I'd go with a know performer. But that's me.

Hey! Welcome aboard Olly! What kind of tractor do you own? How many hours on it?  I've looked at Jinmas and they sure look like well made tractors, but I'm always worried about some of the horror stories you hear from time to time. Have you ever looked at     http://www.tractorforum.com/
