Taskmaster Tractors

Re: Competition

Good88,

For someone that is going to buy a single tractor vs a whole container, Schmalts offers a very good price. Are you now dealing to the end user that will buy only one? And how do you support them? Just curious, what does it cost for a single 284 with shipping and ALL the fees, etc delivered to mid-USA, say St Loius, MO?

IMO, you cut off all the dealers, and you will end up with nothing. There is no way I can beleive that you can effectively support the tractors from China. As a Jinma owner, I am concerned that this approuch will kill off this tractor.

Competition

Dear Mr. John S,
I am 100% agree with your opnion.
Generally we do not sell only one unit tractor to the end use buyers, the main reason is the aftersales service can not be well done(because we are in China far from USA). Only the dealer of bigger quantity buying can offer them the best aftersales service, like M/S.Taskmaster.
But sometimes at the very beginning, we received many e-mails for the inquiry of Jinma Tractor. Everyone said they will be a bigger buyer in the future. Then I gave them FOB Shanghai offers, then a purchase order (a trial order) for only one set of Tractor. I felt very headache for this.
For the SN tractor, we have agent in USA, that's China Diesel. We do not have agent for HB at present, we are looking for one.

Re: Competition

Good88,

Thanks for clearing that up. Since the initial post was looking for a single tractor, and you directly mentioned Schmalts in the above post, I assumed you meant that you had a better deal to go direct for a single tractor. Didn't make sense, but thats what I read into it. Thanks again.

Can someone give me the name and phone number of a dealer who can sell me parts for a TM532E. I am currently looking for a hydraulic oil filter and any parts manuals, repair manuals or schematics for this model. Please contact me at curtisjoffrion@yahoo.com with any info. Thanks

We have a good supply of DongFeng (company that made Taskmaster) parts. These parts have been ordered for current production and in some cases, don't fit the older tractors, but we are trying to add parts. Are you needed the strainer screen in the tube like housing under the transmission or a spin on ?(we probably have both). you can give me a call or send a PM. I will try to be more attentive here than I have been. it was a busy season for us.
