I know some here are likely growing tired of this thread. However, consider just how POed I am getting. Yep, the piece of Yanmar lasted an entire four days this time. It's head back to the dealer for diesel in the crankcase for the fourth time. Yanmar American seems to be at a loss, the dealer is frustrated and I am angery. At some point Yanmar is going to have to cough up a new engine or tractor. No one willingly pays over $20,000 for a yard oriniment. To the dealers credit, they seem to have solved the loader issues, if the part that keeps failing holds.
