New Jinma Owner, TODAY !!!

SonOfSubMan · Mar 5, 2005

Hi all,
Being sold on getting a Jinma with turf tires ( in appreciation of the feedback I got the other day) , I called the area dealer and he had 1 Jinma left with turf tires, a Jinma 224 , 4WD, pow. str., 3 cyl., and the rest of the usual for $5495 . plus ag tax and 2 implements - a 5' box blade and rear scoop called an "HandyPan". Couldn't afford the loader right now.
He scratched out the final price , it looked good, I swallowed the frog and bought it, free delivery included.
I attached a composite of pictures I took today, along with some extra details for the benefit of my family member who don't much about tractors.
What a day! Jeff /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi all again,
Just a correction on my post. The composite picture was too big, so I attached a single one.

Greg,
Holy Loch haha takes me back. I too was SS for 12 years served on several 632 and 640 class. First in Holy then Charleston and finially Kings Bay. Were you Subs?

Really nice looking blue tractor. I did not know there were still able to import blue Jinmas. Have fun they are real workhorses

Nope. They tried to recruit me when I went over 10, but I didn't like the idea of holding my breath that long. I was up in Thurso for several years while Simon Lake was duty tender down in Holy Loch.

I'm still curious about this ag tax. In many places tractors qualify for an ag exemption. Strangely enough, we can buy tractors without sales tax in Kentucky, but have to pay tax on any parts we buy to fix them.
