Rhino International tractor

dclynch · Dec 10, 2012

I have been on this site for a while and have never seen anything about these tractors. I have one and am very pleased with it. Just wondering if anyone else has one or heard of them ? Any opinions good or bad?

Pretty sure Rhino was the name that Benye used on their tractors imported into America. But I think that stopped in 2006. Quite a few Chinese brands decided they didn't want to fool with the 2007 EPA regs.

I believe the one I have is a 1986. the hour meter only shows 650 hrs but was broke when I got it. I beleive it was used in a junk yard, I gave 3500 for it . It is a 404 30HP 4WD with a loader. I have put a clutch and a few odds and end into it. I think I may have about 5000 into it. I also bought a 60" rototiller and a Brush hog for it and it does a great job. I use it for a garden at home and to mow the hunting property it is nice to have a mowed trail right to your hunting spot. I also put in food plots with it. I have had it 3 years now and have not had a major problem with it and fiugre I should be able to get my money back when I decide to trade for a HST model. Wifey doesnt like shifting

I believe you'll find it's 40hp, which - given the Chinese method of rating output - you can legitimately consider as 40 PTO horsepower.

Thanks for the information I did not know that. I do know it has lots of power. When the clutch went out my brother was using to move dirt and it was just about at the top of a large pile before he found the fuel shut off to turn it off. It was pretty funny to watch but could of been a serious accident. The guy I bought it from didnt know much about it and neither did I after replacing the clutch I discovered it was a 2 stage so either the clutch was never adjusted properly or had been bad since I bought it. I get all my parts from Farm boy Tractors and they are great to deal with never have had a problem getting parts with in a couple of days.

I have a Rhino also-its the 554 but it was built by the Shanghai factory,so far its been a good machine. I think Rhino also branded tractors from Jinma, Benye-yours, and Tiantuo Rhino's 8144-81 hp? Farm Boys has been great to deal with, they have had everything I've needed from gaskets to hood latches to headlights in stock... Glad to Know there are a few of us Rhino guys out there who are happy with our machines.

Yes Tim at Farm Boys is awesome. He has helped me a few times and you are correct I have had no problem getting parts I call him and they are here in a couple days.

dclynch · Feb 16, 2013

Well I am getting nervous, I purchased a head gasket last fall and was waiting on the intake gaskets to tear into it got a nolte from Tim saying he got them in so I tore it down Monday and found I have the wrong gasket. Sent a Email to Tim @ Farm boys no reply called him Wednesday and he said no problem he would send the correct one out. I sent back the wrong one . Usually I receive parts in a couple of days well its Saturday and no parts, also sent another Email yesterday asking about some other parts and have not got a respnse yet. Very unusual from what I am used to. Hope I am worrying for nothing.

Well, if you're having the parts shipped by USPS, you need to know that they no longer deliver on Saturdays. Better luck on Monday, eh?

greg_g · Feb 16, 2013

Don't know if this will work or not - presumably you have the TY395 engine. If yes, I have an unused 3 cylinder head gasket for a ShanDong 395T.

My shipments have always arrived via UPS, in about seven days. But I live a little farther away. This a coincidence but I'm expecting a shipment Monday or Tuesday of a new injector and some gaskets. Trying to fix a slight miss when cold and stop a slow leak down of the 3 point. Hopefully your parts will show up first thing next week.

Well, UPS just dropped my order by and everything looks good, heading out to the garage to start working on the injector swap, Anyway did your parts show up and I'm also interested to know who manufactured the engine in your Rhino ?

dclynch · Feb 18, 2013

Still no parts or Email I am not sure who manufactured my motor. May have to find out and see if I can get a gasket somewhere else.

sd455dan · Feb 19, 2013

I looked around on the net a little and found a listing for a Jiangsu or Jianghai TY 395 engine used in Rhino 404 ? Sounds like the same engine Greg G has a head gasket for? Is this one of those engines built off of the same blueprints by more than one manufacturer
You could try getting a hold of Farm boys again. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the engine manufacturer???

dclynch · Feb 19, 2013

thanks I will look it over tomorrow and see if the tag says anything.

My 395T was made by a different Chinese engine manufacturer than is the TY395, but both are essentially based upon the Perkins design. That's why my head gasket might cross over. Photos and measurements provided upon request.

Greg thanks if you could send me a picture and dimensions that would be awesome. My email address is dclynch@charter.net

greg_g · Feb 19, 2013

It's in a big assortment of Chinese tractor parts out in the storage building. Might have to dig a little, but I can likely get to it first thing in the morning.

Greg thanks for all of your efforts. My gasket was delivered today. Again Thanks. It is a good feeling knowing that you may have parts for my tractor.
