ex450 - Owners speak up!

[jfccac]

Hi,

I'm contemplating buying an EX450 TL in the very near future. I'd like to hear from current/prior owners on the following:

1) How was the loader as far as capacity and durability?
2) How was the transmission with shuttle shift?
3) Any warranty issues?
4) Would you buy it again?

Hi jfccac, I am a new owner of a sx3100. I don't know if this helps you at all but i have to tell you that it is a well built unit and very happy i made the purchase. I did not purchase the unit from a dealer i purchased from a private owner who purchased all the units from a closing dealer. The tractor was never registured with yanmar from the individual i purchased from. The unit was new with .8 hours on it. I contacted yanmar about the warranty and the 50 hours service being free. All i needed to provide was the serial numbers and purchase date along with name and address and everything is suppose to be all set. They even told me the 50 hours service would be free. Yanmar has been great to deal with so far. I just wanted to give you alittle insite about my dealing with yanmar. So far so good.
