You get what you pay for. I bought a Jinma and I got a lot more tractor than I paid for. I own a 2000 KIA sportage power windows, power mirrors, full size spare, 6 cd changer, leather. I now has 97,000 miles and is still under warrenty. It pulls my boat, trailor and takes me back and fort to work at 26 miles per gal. You can put 880 lbs of concrete in the back with no problem. The service dept. has been outstanding and has cattered to all my wishes no breakdowns. 6 of my friends and associates have also bought KIA. All this for $18,000. If you saw The report the other day where the american car makers were shut out of the top ten this was the first time ever. When asked consumer reports stated "that american car manafactures need to build better and more reliable units if they want to compete". At this time I do not recommend KIA for industrial use but they dont claim this. I would love to buy American but these imports are a tough act to follow.

You are correct the cheap part is the way they cut cost in the parent country. Jinma ran into emmisions problems. When Farm Pro got on the band wagon they were given a time line to correct the emmisions but they could sell the units already on hand. There were a lot of these due to prior knowledge of the cutoff. The latter units were to spec.
We must all remember the honda civic it was considered a piece of crap, little bitty engine, to small, little tires all around non american it is now the #1 on the top ten and americans are building them state side.
Cheap peice of junk needs to earn that name tag. Everything can be a lemon I prefer enexpensive to cheap. What ever is sold in this country needs to meet all safety and enviromental concerns the same a American products. Now we are back to our law makers carefull who you vote for.
