Yeah the price of FEL's has made it in some cases a better deal to buy the used 4x4 china tractor to get the FEL .
I just noticed 3 craigslist china tractors with American loaders for about the money a new US built FEL would cost.
284 Jinma with koyker FEL AND chinese Backhoe for $5000 obo
Rhino 754 with Westendorf 24 or 26 FEL- over 3000 lbs lift for $5900
Rhino 504 with Koyker K2 for $7500
Buy good used loader- comes with with free 28 hp 75 hp or 50 hp 4x4 chinese tractor.
No doubt. I stumbled on this one, original owner thought it had a bad engine. Turns out all it needed was an injection pump. Engine is fine!! has over 400psi compression in all 3 cylinders, quiet as any 3 cyl diesel should be. Got a new pump, 3 new glow plugs and she purrs!!! I'm all in on this tractor with a 5' brush hog for $1300. Add a $1500 loader and Ill still be in for less than $3000. I don't think that's too bad
