Yandeer or John Mar ?

[mikehaugen]

can't speak for the new models, buy my jd 1070 is made by yanmar... at least according to tractordata. That is the impression I have been under for quite some time anyway. This would also include all of the "70" models I would assume. I know that everything on it is metric, though the 80 loader has standard fasteners, and metric mounting fasteners. Really has made it difficult to source wheels for it, they pretty much have to be specific to that series tractor.

Yanmar has built many John deere compacts over the years. The old --70 series and790, 990 and 3005 and 4005, were all yanmar built tractors as well as the 2000 series. Just look at the serial number plate, It lists yanmar as builder. The Yanmar ex 2900 and ex3200 use many of the same parts as the John Deere 790-3005 Tractors, but the yanmars are hydro not gear drive. The Yanmar sx3100 shares many parts with the John deere 2720. I have bought parts for my John deere 790 that came in yanmar parts bags!.

From what I get from the Yanmar owners group, and what is written above, current JD and Yanmar models share some parts. Sounds like Yanmar is building JD spec. tractors, but not just rebadging Yanmars.
I did a search on this forum for the e-mail mentioned in post #10 but couldn't find it. I wondered about the date, and whether it was about pre 2004 tractors.
Does the same as, mean just that, or is it like equivalent to our tractor? Sounds like the engine is stock Yanmar, no matter what.

"The Yanmar sx3100 shares many parts with the John deere 2720", and "the 2720 is the same as the yanmar SX3100.", do not mean the same thing.

Good evening gentlemen,

Not all JD are built by Yanmar.
But...some are, and not only the engine.
This 2720 is Yanmar built and sprayed with green paint.
Have a look on this video especially at the minute 1' 35".

It is just mainly cosmetic stuff they are changing, paint hood, fenders, seat, and steering wheel probably. I bet the main components are the same engine, trans, and rear.

Probably, but not necessarily. Depends on how much Yanmar's legal dept. wanted to distance themselves from Deere.

Got a nephew who works there as part of the design crew.

Maybe Nick can find out just what they are designing. Sheet metal or drive components?

Years ago a friend had a Sears chainsaw built by Poulan. He went to the Poulan dealer for parts. Some parts were the same, many were not, and it wasn't just the covers. So he didn't have a Poulan saw that said Sears on it. He had a sears saw built by Poulan.

It's just as likely that the same is true of JD and Yanmar.

So are Deere tractors the same as Yanmar tractors? No. While some models may share a few parts, most of the parts will not interchange. Deere did not want an identical "clone".

That statement from the Yanmar owners .com, would support what I have been told by Deere dealers, and not dispute any evidence provided by others. Make sense?
