- Jinma 354LE, 2006'ish
I currently have a Jinma 354LE that I bought new in '06. It has served me well. There have been a few minor repairs, but nothing serious.
It's freaking cold at the moment, a couple days below zero. The power steering froze up solid, and almost certainly because it still has the original hydraulic oil. It picks up moisture over the years, the viscosity changes, etc etc. Since I'm overdue anyway, I bought 10 gallons of universal tractor fluid and will replace everything. I did a few searches for flush and fill in the Chinese tractor section and the general forum and didn't find anything very specific.
My tractor has two separate systems, one for steering and one for all other hydraulic circuits. If there is a good thread that would be appreciated, but I will also continue to search on my own.
thx
