Grey Market Purchase
Model Year: 0
I bought this off Ebay from a dealer in Ohio. This person dealt in various brands of grey market tractors, and I actually won a bid for a different tractor. When I asked him about the overall dependability of the various brands, he put Yanmar at the top of the list. He allowed me to purchase this one instead. It came with a tiller and I had him install a ROPS and an FEL. I did end up replacing the bearings in the alternator and that's been the only repair I have done to this tractor. I did add a new seat. It's been very dependable and is very economical on diesel fuel.
Pros: Dependability.
Cons: Lack of background history due to the way I purchased it. I apparently had been used in the rice fields of China. The finish was weathered.
