Janma 45 hp front end

point · Mar 24, 2004

Has anyone heard of jinma front ends breaking on the 400 series when you attach a FEL?
I am looking into the purchase of one and heard Koyker wont put FELs on the because they broke a front end in testing /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Anyone heard anything that may help in the decision making process?
Thanks

Yes that did happen on the 454 tractor sent to Koyker,However Accutech Loaders in Ms. are now
making a loader for the 400 series tractors and the Jinma factory has or is in the process of beefing up thr front axle on the 400 series tractors

Koyker did have a proublem with the 454 series front end with the 235 loader. Jinma will as an option install a HD Front diff for a small upcharge,We have several on order that way.We did not want them as they were do to that issue that Koyker experianced in testing.
We have it in writing as a payed option for the upgraded HD front end on 454Le's,

Hey Affordable and everyone else
Thanks for the heads up on the 400 serise
does the accutech desgin alliviate the front end problems? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
does that problem hold true for the 300 series? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I am sitting the fence and that could sway my decision /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

You may want to check with Circle G tractors in Mississippi,he had some with the Accutech loaders,I think that I would take the advise of Shifty on the HD front axles if you are going to get the 400 series tractor, The 300 series has not been a problem with the Koyker loaders, there are also alot more parts for the 300 series tractors,The 400 series is still pretty new for Jinma and not alot of them in the USA ( 50 or less)
Which could be a problem if you needed some warranty or replacement parts. Good Luck in your search and if we can help you let us know.
