Jinma 184: The Best Small Tractor for Small Farmers
Model Year: 2005

i must say that from the time I had this tractor it have serve me well. The cost was excellent and to be able to maneuver around my farm in some small spaces at times. It is really good and I will encourage any farmer with small spaces too but this same type of tractor. I had it for, this will make it eight years, and now is the only time that I am having what I will call a major problem. I have no regrets on buying this Jinma 184 tractor. I repeat will continue to encourage small farmers to buy the same.

Pros: Fits into any space. Works very well.
Cons: Need a parts place here I could access parts locally.

Ancient Chinese Secret
Model Year: 2000

Picked up at auction, re-badged western international. Justified purchase with fact it was cheaper than a 4 wheeler and had more capabilities. I have no property but have a very dear friend with property and several immaculate Fords that we use mainly for light logging. Good exercise and keeps us busy. Wouldn't believe he's in his 80s. Felt it best to pick up something of my own to work with (beat up). As of now the tractor is in the garage ripped apart and getting ready for new paint and electronics.

Pros: Cheap, sips fuel, MFWD, small enough to go through woods easily.
Cons: Parts not so easy to come by.
