Yanmars Rebadged as Mitsubishi

[tb8100]

I'm starting to see Yanmars rebadged as Mitsubishi. I'm not sure which importer is handling them, but they have those dinky Coldwater loaders, Mitsubishi blue hoods and fenders, and names like "Mitsubishi YM2000" and similar. Make no mistake- Mitsubishi never made any YM, YMG, F, or FX series tractors. Those are Yanmars, and it's a trick to get them through the port and under radar from the Yanmar attorneys.

Got any pics? Sounds interesting. Who is distributing these impostors?

Lot's of folks wouldn't share your feelings about the Coldwater loaders being "dinky". I have read of many satisfied customers.

here's one company TractorCo.Com | Serving the Pacific Northwest with New & Quality Pre-Owned Tractors, Front Loaders, Backhoes and Mowers by Kubota, John Deere, Yanmar, Mitsubish and others! I don't believe this is a cold water loader though.. Cold water uses a single cylinder for the bucket.. these use a dual cylinder for the bucket

They are clearly misrepresenting the Tractors..They are yanmar tractors being sold as Mitsubishi tractors.... Nothing about these tractors Are Mitsubishi

TractorCo! Haven't heard that name for a while.

Several years ago they apparently joined up with RCO of Texas and sold from the same stock of VN refurbs - this based on displaying identical photos.

What next.... Are they going to paint them orange and call them YM Kubotas? And they are not Coldwater loaders on them, probably some chinese/vietnamese imported loader.

Notice their statement here. Yanmar Notice | TractorCo.Com | Thorp Washington

They states ''we do not sell Grey market Yanmar brand tractors''.. That is a lie ! They are yanmar brand tractors with a Mitsubishi decal

Wonder what story they give the buyer of one of these (Mitsubishi):laughing: tractors when said owner approaches Mitsubishi for parts and then discovers they have a Yanmar??
Sorry we didn't know??
