Was just wondering why these tractors are soo much lower than all other tractors. $7,999.00
For a diesel 40 hp 4wd. I dunno but seems too good to be true. I would never buy one, but wondered if anyone here has ever tried these out. Something just doesnt seem right. I dont know about you guys, but I would rather have an old ford or oliver than something like these.

Weeellll, it's not too good to be true. It sounds like you found the ones that Rural King sells. I have one of the Jinma (Tractor King) brands that I bought there three years ago. It's a 25 hp. model and I've only had minor problems with it - stuff that the store took care of. Wheel bolts were loose when I bought it and a 3 fell out (not as bad as it sounds). RK made it good. The worst thing was the steering ram went bad - oil began bypassing the seal in the middle, but RK took care of that for me too. It was out of warranty and they provided the part and gave me a break on labor. I use the little tractor frequently and like it a lot. Pull a 6' bush hog over 35 acres of CRP every year and do all sorts of odd jobs. Pulled my JD 8300 drill with it last fall and sowed all my wheat. Power steering line on my big tractor ruptured last spring and I spread a buggy w/4000 lbs. of nitrate with it. Surprised me, but it did good. Thinking about selling it and buying one of the 40 hp. Fotons. Maybe I've just gotten lucky, but go ahead and laugh, I don't mind!

It's lower because they are made in China.... And in this case, you DO get what you pay for!
