Yanmars advertised in California

California · Mar 28, 2012

We no longer have a Yanmar importer any closer to us than than Texas or Seattle so far as I know. (2+ days drive each way).

Prices are getting ridiculous here. Worst example I've seen: YM240 offered for $9,000. Since that ad will expire I'll repeat it here:

yuba-sutter craigslist > for sale / wanted > farm & garden

Tractor, Attachments
Date: 2012-03-27, 11:43AM PDT

All prices negociable, separately, or as a package. Yanmar Tractor (YM240, with 716 hours, 24 HP, PTO, 3 pt.,cat. 1, hydraulics): $9,000. Loader (Johnson Work Horse): $1,500. Disk (INDUSCO, scallops in front): $1,300. Tool bar/shoes (Towner): $850. Package: $11,600.

With loader and disc, that's triple what I paid for the same thing in 2003.

When someone sees a reasonable priced Yanmar near here, please add to this thread.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I think it may be time for me to start listing a machine or two at only moderately exorbitant prices, and see what happens! :laughing: Maybe I can finance myself into a skid steer and mini excavator...

Another tremendous bargain. Deere 1050, only $5000!

"Needs entire transmission." ... "I have over 14k invested."

HAte to say it but he might have $3000 there if someone JUST happened to NEED the Bell housing engine and front axle, say by the end of the week!!

The part about 14K being invested is irrelevant if you bought it NEW 20 years ago! With that logic im going to list my 1990 ranger and say originally $15k invested (wait i did not buy it new, ohwell that dont matter they will never know

) only want $3500. It only have minor body damage and 289,000 miles!!

With the price of new tractors getting higher & higher. I guess the older ones are gaining in value.Which, is good for all of us.. With all the new emission standards. who wants a new tractor with sensors every where like a new vehicle

I just found a YM2202D sitting at the end of a guys drive on a back country road while riding my motorcycle. Had a friend at work looking for a Yanmar, he stopped and bought it for $3,000. Tractor is in excellent condition, 700 hours, tires excellent w/ no weather cracking, included newer 5 foot scraper blade, extra fuel filters and hydraulic filter. Actually I was a little ticked that I didn't stop and ask the price. This tractor is a little smaller than mine but the 4wd sure would be handy at times. I picked it up for him and have it in my barn now, I think he got a heck of a deal! The tractor is very very clean, the paint looks original and is very shiny. The guy even had an owners manual and repair manual from Hoye.

I know, you kind of inspired me. I just finished putting a backhoe on my tiny Kubota B6000. I tested it out this afternoon. I want an excavator now, but it sure beats the daylights out of a shovel!

There have been several excavators around for what seem like reasonable prices, though far outside my "spur of the moment" budget. I just can't justify one. I need to buy a different property so that I can justify buying an excavator.

A skid steer is about the same way for me. I can't think of a reason I would need one, so am not sure why I would buy it. I must be getting old... :laughing:
