I love my Yanmar but I got a 2210 with powershift trans,front end loader, new 4ft brush hog for 6k. I think you should shop around for other yanmars out there.. Go with the power shift...You have ports so I think prices should be lower than Kansas......With Ebay kicking the Gray market Yannys off it is harder to find the good deals. Price are up a little since I bought mine but I think negotiations might be in order.... At least continue to shop around. I am not there to evaluate the quality of this Yanmar either....If your looking at manual transmission there are other gray market brands like hinomoto, mitsubishi,shibaru, etc....I would go with the Yanmar powershift trans.....
