The company Toyosha produces the Hinomoto tractors. Toyosha began building plows in the year 1863. Finally, the Hinomoto tractors were first built in the 1950′s. These tractors were exported all across the globe which makes it easy to find a Hinomoto tractor if you’re in the market for a Japanese used tractor. In the year 1990 Hitachi Construction Machinery bought out the company, Toyosha. The Hitachi Construction Machinery’s headquarters are located in Osaka, Japan. In the year 1997 the name was changed from Toyosha to Tierra.
Additionally, Hinomoto also manufactures drivetrains for Massey Ferguson, which is an American tractor company, and has been for quite some time. Hinomoto tractors are strong, reliable, and comfortable. These tractors are of great value, especially in comparison to the other competitors on the market. Hitachi Construction Machinery, the manufacturer of Hinomoto tractors, prides themselves on keeping up to date on the current trends of the latest construction and agricultural machinery.
When it comes to re-manufacturing a Hinomoto tractor, there are strict specifications that are followed. Each tractor is dismantled and thoroughly checked. Some of the re-manufacturing specifications include a new head gasket, a reconditioned cylinder head, transmission tested and repaired as needed, a new battery, clutch and throw—out bearing are new or reconditioned, and more. There is a list of close to fifteen different re-manufacturing specifications. However, these specifications are not limited to just this list. Tierra wishes to have the best tractors around, which is why they take re-manufacturing so seriously.
Since operations began in the year 1863, these tractors have come so far. As of the year 2006, the company had produced over 100,000 units in total. That number was up 20,000 from 2004. Today, it is quite possible that the company has now produced over 150,000 units. The company will continue to grow as long as they stick to the same standards they have been since their debut in 1863.
