So, come on boys, who knows anything about a cute little tractor called a Hinomotor, manufacturer, colour, years they were made, anything, one of you must know something. It is a tractor not a mower........

They are Japanese and usually wear what ever color the company they were making them for wears, Allis, Deutz-Allis, Massey Ferguson, White and I believe a New Holland Model or 2.
In that capacity (rebadged to an established company) they have been pretty good and reliable if not real technologically advanced tractors...provided you have a good reputable AGCO dealer near you. Often people want to trade them in on one of the major brands and get VERY offended when they are given the trade value as they are not a easy resale.
I have yet to see one actually badged as a Hinomoto, and unless I had a good well established AGCO or Massey (same company) dealer with a patient parts person willing to cross reference near me I avoid!

Local White dealer (long since defunct) also sold Longs and Hinomotos in the early '70's - The Hinomotos were a pale blue, as I recall. Japanese tractors were kind of a hard sell in those days, and he sold a lot more Longs. He said they were a pretty good tractor, quality-wise. I don't believe I've seen one since.

Japanese company, built from the 1950s until being purchased by Hitachi in the 1990s.

Hino was affiliated with Toyota in some manner also.

Thanks for the information. Does anyone have a picture of a early model of a Hinomoto, pre 1960. I have just bought one for my son, off a farm and his is trying to date it as well as any information, as all we can find is mordern models.
