Unfortunately, there are a bunch of hassles if you sell across state lines, and I can understand a small seller not wanting to get into that.
You might look around and see if there is a freight company that is willing to pallet a tiller and ship it for you. I have had reasonable luck doing that when buying machine tools across the country. Typically the driver turns up with a pallet and banding equipment and the seller just puts the item on the pallet. Often it will be independent drivers who want to pick up some return freight to make a little extra in a back haul. Uship, FreightCenter for example, but there are many others.
All the best,

I reached out and asked if they would ship and sadly they won'tFinding one of those near Texas has been not been easy
From time-to-time, Fredricks does get a few tillers in. And they do a good jog restoring them. They are priced at a good fair market value when I've seen them posted in their available equipment in-stock links. If I still lived 2 hours away from them, I would of asked how to get a tiller model that matched my machine from those Yanmar parts catalogs.
Winston once had a YM2000 with a Yanmar tiller. It's a really nice setup. He's posted a few good pixs here over the years.

Should you get one, give me a jingle. I have about 40 or more of the tiller manuals in PDF for FREE.
Using Yandex OCR (on-line) doing image to text makes reading the manuals very EZ in English.
Just keep looking. If you joined the Yanmar Tractor Owners Group, we have a bunch in the community scouting areas for Yanmar equipment for the YM, F, FX, KE machines. It just helps your odds on getting one sooner.

I'm curious. Why not just go buy a new tiller, or even a lightly used tiller off Craigslist, etc? Why the focus on a refurbished Yanmar tiller?

Nit picking here but he had one of those YM2001 or 2002 models or was it a 2003? I know the 01 and 02 exist

Made in Japan when things were made quality or Made in China where there made as fast and cheap as possible.

Like clemsonfor said. Yanmar gear from 40 years ago - the emphasis of this Classic Yanmars group - was built so well that today a tractor or tiller from back then may be a better buy than anything but the most expensive of today's gear.
Adding to that indestructible quality aspect, they were made to be owner-maintained. No need to ever trailer it to a shop.
Had a 2002D. I now run the same tiller with a Bobcat CT235. Still working good.

OK. Thanks. Guess I thought by the time they got here they would have been run in wet rice paddy conditions for 20 years. Didn't realize they were so bullet-proof. However I do understand the focus related to the "Yanmar Classics" group so that makes sense.
Thanks.
Thanks.
