YM2210 Should I buy?

[Smoody]

Local here has a YM2210 2WD, Bush Hog, Scrape blade, overrun clutch and 4 new tires, asking $2000

I know that price it good, but he doesnt know the hours of the tractor (broke tach), he has owned it 5 years and said it does leak oil out some of the seals. It doesnt appear to be a recon as it is a bit rusted and just looks its age. If it is just the seals are these expensive repairs? at $2,000 I feel its a deal even if there was a some fix up required. He said he uses it and it runs good.

Opinion?

Well lets just say you bought it and had to put another 2 into it. Your still at 4000 which is a good buy. I don't see how you can go wrong if the motor is running. Is that what he started at? Heck he might take less than that.

Yea he started at 2,000 FIRM, told me to come and drive it. Just seems to good a price just has me curious as to why so cheap, then again it could be a great deal.

I paid 3,000 for a YM2001, but it was in excellent shape and only had 728hours on it and doesnt have a leak nowhere on it.

IMHO, $2000 for a tractor with powershift is a good deal. I would see which seals are leaking and then ask one of the dealers on here for prices to replace them before you make your decision.

I took that picture a while back when I 1 st installed the ROPS. I told you I could take some more if you needed them. I never heard anything else from you.Won't be any problem to take some more.. Do you need me to take some more ??

Smoody,
I have had my 2210BD for 4 years now. It was not a recon tractor, and had only 410 hrs on it. I payed $5000 for it, and feel it was worth every penny. Other than fuel and oil changes, it has not cost me another cent. For $2000, even if it has problems, I'd say go for it. I had a YM135D before this tractor that also worked great with no trouble. I am sold on Yanmar. They are not the best kept secret they once were, and the prices reflect that, but still a great deal as far as I am concerned. Dave
