Hi and Merry Christmas to everyone. I am very new at this and was reading the threads and the term "grey market" came up. What does that mean? How can you tell if a tractor is a grey market vs ? Thanks, Eve
Not that simple. There are virtually NO direct crossovers. Kubota USA does not allow it's dealers to provide parts, service, or any form of support for grey market Kubotas, and there is no other significant source for parts. Yanmar does not allow it's parts dealers to sell parts for grey market yanmars, BUT.....there has been immense development of aftermarket parts for grey yanmars.....to the point where we have a 168 page catalog of aftermarket parts for grey yanmars. Many of those models are now supported better than the same age tractors originally sold in the US.Hope I'm saying this correctly...I was told that grey market tractors from Japan (like a Yanmar) are brought in because Japan has a 500 hr max limit on their tractors for emission control...I've seen those and they are very nice, low hour units...All you need to do is get the English version of the decals as to which lever does what...A local dealer sells a lot of these with a new Koyker FEL...Seriously considered one before I came across my BX23.
