"I bought this tractor new in 2007. Six attachments came with it and I have used them all. In the beginning, I had to replace the steering arm and have a new bar manufactured which sets the front tire alignment (factory ones did not last). I also had custom nipples manufactured so I could use Napa filters. After this initial work, the tractor has ran great for the last 7-8 years."

"Traded my Jinma 224 for this Jinma 454. The 224 just was under powered for my tall Hay. Now the 454 cuts through like butter with no over heating. "

"I bought this tractor in 2006 with a front loader and a backhoe with the idea of using it to help build cabin in the woods (move dirt, dig ditches, use a box grader on my road, etc...). I only have 200 hrs on it, but have spent all kinds of time fixing it. I have replaced a starter, a bunch of seals on the backhoe, replaced the battery, and now it just died and I think I will have to replace the fuel pump. I would have a hard time recommending this tractor to anyone."

"Great tractor. Great price."
