I'm looking at grey market tractors and like the size/weight/power of the Hinomoto. One importer suggested I stay away from Hinomoto because they are not sturdy enough to run a front end loader. He said the frame isn't built to withstand the front-to-back torsion a loader puts on it, and the front axles aren't beefy enough.
Has anyone else found this to be true?

Thanks,
Dave

I have to agree. I sell alot of parts & get more inquires on damaged Hinomoto front axles & gears. New parts aren't available or if they are , they pretty expensive. Salveage parts are hard to find ,because they are either no good or have all ready been sold. ....

crestlinefarm, If you are looking for a good but inexpensive tractor; take a look at a Jinma (sold under Farm Pro, Ag Pro, and some other names) Homier sells them and I have seen them for sale at my local Rural King store. Under $8,000 for a 35 hp 4WD tractor & FEL is not bad. ....
