Chinese, poorly made, noted for breaking down a lot. Then I been told by a guy I know who tried selling them for a while parts supply is hit and miss.

I've had a JM354, 35hp, for about 14 years. It's a straight tractor without a FEL. It's been a very good tractor and it's got maybe 3500-4000 hrs on it, hour meter died and I've never bothered to fix it. Parts have been all catalog or online order, but no problems getting them. If it's the 3 cylinder engine model, parts should be easy enough to get. I have read the two cylinder engines were discontinued. There two or three good vendors that I've deal with and all have been very responsive. The few parts I've needed have been very resonably priced. Google the vendors and call them up, you'll see. I'd buy another in heartbeat if I needed another tractor.
 
One of the three tractors I have is a 2008 Jinma 254. Bought it new that year. I use it very seldom though it has been great. Still has the original battery. Very easy to work on though I have only had to do normal upkeep. Parts are as bjr says, easy to get if you can wait for the order to get to ya'. Might not be a good candidate for hard regular use but for homeowner hobby use it's probably ok.

Is there a reputable dealer within easy driving distance? If not, leave it right where it is.
