This information is for those Jinma owners and dealers that are interested. About two years ago the Jinma factory sent some specs. to one of the dealers regarding the capacity of the ZL-20 loader. The factory said it was 7.06 cubic ft. I wasn't convinced that was correct. I did a rough measurement myself a few months ago and I came up with about 8 cu. ft. I measured it again today and tried to be very precise and exact. Subtracting 1/2 gallon for spillage, I came up with 62.06 gallons = 8.3 cubic ft. level. I know it's no big deal, but I wanted you to have the correct information. Thanks.<br>

ZL-20 Loader Capacity

Greetings: I bought my Jinma 284 (Farm Boss) with the ZL-20 loader, which is a great loader,from
Terry at Tractor-0utlet.com exactly two years ago. Other than problems that I caused myself, I have had to replace the 3-point lift handle, which was covered by warranty and quickly replaced without question by Terry. I have had minor leaks caused by bad o-rings, seals, etc. which were taken care of by myself. I have over 240 hours and am completely satisfied with the tractor and would do it again in a heartbeat. Like a lot of us, I don't have the money to buy a well known brand of tractor. I am not a mechanic, but because of the CTOA and the people posting on this board, I have been able to take care of my tractor myself. I bought a crate tractor from Terry and saved about $3,000 compared to buying it from a dealer (the savings are an approximation). Terry also provides a free assembly video that he made. The way I put the tractor together was to take it one step at a time. I watched the entire video and then went back and did it step by step. Doing one thing and then stopping, went back to the video, etc. I bought the 284, 4WD, with loader. It took me less than 40 hours by myself to assemble taking my time. My cost was $8230.00 delivered to Phoenix, AZ where I picked it up and took it back to Prescott Valley, AZ (90 miles). I paid 0 tax becuase OR. has no sales tax. You can look at pictures at the accompanying link. In addition to the cost savings, by buying the crate tractor, I was able to become mechanically knowledgeable about the tractor. Chinese tractors are not for everyone, but if you're willing to get your hands dirty and turn a wrench once in a while, a Jinma or other Chinese brand might be right for you. I hope I have helped someone. Thank you.
