155 loader

Yanmar Front End Loader - $850 (Visalia)

I have for sale a Front End Loader for a compact tractor. The loader is currently attached to a Yanmar 155d tractor and I believe it is a factory accessory for this tractor model but I expect that it will also fit other compact tractors. I'm asking $850 and the price includes the frame which bolts to the tractor, the lift arms, the hydraulic cylinders and control valve, lines and the bucket. Some of the hoses may need replacement. The tractor is NOT included and not for sale at this time.

Post will be deleted when sold.

E-Mail me if interested.

I saw that, on the Fresno Craigslist.
Front End Loader for Compact Tractor - Yanmar

Visalia is halfway from Los Angeles to San Francisco, about 200 miles from either. I don't think you'll have much competition if you make him an offer.

Will this fit on a YM2000 2wd ?

Way too small for YM2000.

Compare this factory loader on YM186D (which is larger than YM155), with the loader on YM2000 in my sig photo below this post.


And Welcome, neighbor!

Hi California,

Neighbor :wave: ! sort of. Actually in Penngrove. New to Yanmar, but loving the simplicity. How often do just the loaders come up for sale in our area ? Its a really nice to have, so checking my options. New or User or wait for one to come up that has a loader already. Got a pretty good deal on this YM2000.

Thoughts ?

check out cold water tractors for loaders. (If you are going to buy a new loader) . you can't beat the price. If you wait for a used loader. It might be a while

Hiya Vern :wave: !

My apple orchard is a few miles miles NW of you. Speaking of Penngrove, I'm a SSU graduate! Back in the 60's I think.

In ten years I've never seen a suitable used loader advertised within a day's travel from here.

Maybe one of the YM240's with loader for around $4k would be the only solution. I see more than one of those using Searchtempest set for 500 mile radius. I think there are two different ones up by Chico or at least in that part of the state.

Beyond that, a Coldwater loader seems to me to be the only option within a cost that you might recover on resale.

These Yanmars, particularly YM2000/YM240, are amazing toys, no? :thumbsup:

This is what I been waiting for to fit my 135d, even the right color. Now I just need to get it back here to Virginia. Any thoughts?

I'm thinking $1+ per loaded mile.

Speaking of loaders, here might be a good deal. Yanmar Tractor Support Message Board • View topic - YM3110D Parts Tractor 4x4 Just Arived ** NICE LOADER **

Just unfounded opinion!

That whole tractor, and where it is parked (junkyard out back), indicate heavy commercial farming where equipment is operated (probably by inexperienced and uncaring employees) until dead. 'Run hard and put away wet'. Then left out in the rain to rust.

I wouldn't buy that loader without personally inspecting that all its components are there and usable.

Plus freight from the west coast to the east coast for such a large object might be prohibitive.

I think a new Coldwater loader would be a better buy.

Maybe you could find someone nearby to drive out there and verify its complete. Absent that, I wouldn't touch it. (I'm 300 miles north of Fresno - so no. )

Very good & sound advice:thumbsup: Most the time you can tell if equipment has been taken care of or abused,

a friend of mine purchased a FEL for his tractor simply because it was cheap, (800.00).....
when he brought it home he called me over to look at it, The pictures from the ad did it justest, However! EVERY steel line on that thing had been mangled, bent out of it's original position, none were clamp in place,

Even though the remote was included I had to have new hoses mad up, ( dry-rotted/cracked/leaking ) was over 200, Now has 1000 and still not rigged to his tractor,
Next had to have a mount bracket made up, a welder charged I think it was 800 to do this,
Now he has 1,800 in the so called "Good deal loader", But he still needed a 150.00 adapter plate to run the hydraulics from his tractor to that loader, and a few special ordered Bolts, now he has approx 2-k in the loader,

I finally get it mounted to the tractor and all rigged up, everything seem good, except we realized the control has a float feature that we cannot figure out, we tried to bypass it but could not, the loader lifts and curled fine, but when letting it down it would slam to the ground, we tried to put a stop onto the control lever in attempt to try and manage the drop speed, this worked however now it was too slow,

My friend wound up removing the FEL from his tractor, and it now sits in his barn to remind him next time NOT to jump on the first deal that comes along, incidentally he probaby would sell it, Was originally to fit a JD and now it fits a Kubota,

I forgot to mention... about 3 weeks later another ad for a loader came up on CL, only this one was a direct mount from the same kind of Kubota tractor my friend has, the price for it was 1500, Yup! he was sick,
