LE or not LE, the 200 series can handle light duty rotary cutters of 4'. Many use 5' light duty cutters. If you need a medium or heavy duty, I am not sure if it will handle it. If mowing up hills, and you don't have a fel on, you might want to add some additional front weight.

LE model is specific to a particular importer (China Importers), and their associated dealers, as far as I know. If you are looking at a dealer that offers both, go LE. If comparing LE from one dealer to another dealer that uses a different importer, it is not so clear. Many options that are found on LE can be found on others. It depends on how the tractor was ordered. Some of the LE options, are strickly cosmetic, too. If you could identify the particular option that may or may not be included, I could give you my opinion on in.

Options I am fond of: folding ROPs, front hyd steering cyl, flip-up hood, recessed front battery, new switch panel, and probably a few others.

Options I am neutral on or maybe slightly negative for me, or just a personel choice, but shouldn't be a deal breaker: fiberglass rear fenders, new 3pt tensioning arms, sunshade, side panels, integrated gauge set, underseat hyd port.

Hi, it was probably yourself that sent me a picture of this machine. Very interesting machine. I hadn't seen a reverse steer before. Most of the chinese tractor manufacturers, don't make their own engines. Is that the only label that can be found on the machine? What is the specific engine model number? Assuming, you were unsuccessful with any Benye tractor dealers, another chinese tractor may contain the same or similar engine. You will have to compare though, because the chinese engine model numbers can be deceiving.

Quote: "BTW, I have contacted the Attorney General of Michigan, and I have stated the problems with the support of this machine, I also have stated the obvious safety problems as well. They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease, sooner or later this will have to be looked at."

Well, did they indicate any state laws that were broken and recommend further legal action, or that they commited to an investigation?

Try any Jinma Dealer. See a partial list below. The stabilizer bars are used on newer Jinmas. Earlier ones, like my 284, use chains with turn buckles. Alternatly, you could go to TSC or other tractor supply and get "generic" turn buckle chains. Just may need to mod it to the right length. The bars are easier to set-up, just pins, vs the turn-buckle can be finer adjusted.

The HD hood looks like the same on in the LE pkg. Give John Nelson a call, he'll give you the straight scoop.

FWIW, I generally like the LE pkg, except I prefer metal fenders and individual gauges.

Good to hear you are having allot of "fun" with your new tractor. I would have thought that there would be allot of chatter, from a number of Jinma dealers I know, if Agracat was abandoning their tractor line, all together. Even if true, there are numerous other places for you to get parts.

Nortrac is a Jinma tractor. You will find allot of info on Jinma tractor, at my website below. They are not JDs at much lower prices. They do offer allot of value to someone that can turn their own wrenches, if need be. If you are close to a Nortrac dealer, you can opt for longer than 6 month warrantee. A Nortrac rep has been active on the CTOA board, for some time. Also, they have just started some quarterly online newsletters.

There are a couple of smaller Jinma dealers that are in AZ. See the dealer list on my site.

I constantly get very positive feedback from readers that the Jinma Survey results is one of the best pages for investigating Jinma tractors. Jinma owners, lets keep the input current, such that prospective buyers can tell if this is a tractor that meets their expectations. <br>

Roger, Hardy is not a Jinma tractor, but you can look at my website to find allot of info on Jinma. You will find many owners opinions in the Survey Results area.

I have never seen a Hardy outside of the Internet. Dong Fengs, which I have touched, appear close to Jinma. I think the DF354 might edge out a JM354, at the same price point. Futian looks good on paper and pictures, but haven't touched one of them, either.

The Chinese tractor market has been increasing over the last few years that I have been paying attention to it. Three years ago there was only a handful of Jinma dealers. This increase has been happening even though there has been a large general perception that they are all junk. They fill a niche at a pricepoint where others can't compete.

I received this picture of a pto spray washer, that was under development by the Chinese. I have not heard of any dealer getting this item, yet. In fact, have no additional info outside of the picture :(
