  • I take the Jimna Tractor out and do some digging with its backhoe. This was the cheapest working tractor I could find on craigslist with a backhoe and front end loader.

    That's a nice little tractor! You got a good deal on it especially with it coming with the backhoe attachment! Seems to do the job it was made for.

    You need to get the main backhoe boom as near vertical as possible when transporting. The way had it sticking way out back at around the 8 minute mark in your video, will cause massive metal fatigue and failure with that hanging way out back like that when transporting down the road. Remember, the further back the more stress load your putting on the rest of the tractor as it moves up and down with the imperfections of the road way.

      This especially true with a three point mounted backhoe. Those things damage your hitch or can even bust a tractor in half.

    I think you bought this tractor at the perfect time. Before covid, and sounds like a great deal. Haha. I can't seem to find anything in my area for double the price. 😂 I'm sure something will pop up but definitely nothing for anything close to $6500. $13k even seems like a deal for a TLB. Haha.

    those tractors do not have a synchronized transmission, never shift from one gear to the next while moving. Only ever start out in the proper gear otherwise you will just trash it.

    A lot of people bitch and complain about these Tractors and the fact that China can build them and ship them to America on Websites like Alibaba for under 5 thousand dollars makes me wonder why American Industry can’t build one here that’s Comprable in that price range the people that buy these Chinese Imports review them to be good little work horses and for the money i can’t see much negatives in them I’m American and i’ve tried spending my money on Americanmade products like Automobiles and Trucks in the 80s and 1990s to find out the poor quality was actually a mistake i bought a Jeep that needed a new engine at 65,000 miles and a Chevrolet that needed a new Transmission before the car was paid for ? i’m sorry i began buying Honda’s and Nissans that gave me no major problems and had fantastic resale values when i was done with them Honestly i just can’t afford to throw my hard earned money away on principle only i look at all the financial issues the U.S. Auto Industry has had over the years and i can’t think that they didn’t bring that all upon themselves all the Asian Companies appear to be thriving and becoming more and more Versatile in building things for Global trading heck half of the American branded Automobiles are actually built by the Asian companies and rebranded if it continues on the same path Farm and Heavy Machinery Industries will be going down the same path in the near future ? i read through some of the Comments on these tractors and a few mentioned how hard or expensive it was to get the American Brands Serviced or repaired ? does that make any sense at all
