As a new shopper/buyer you hear John Deere and Kubota are number 1 and 2 in sales. I would guess day to day and depending on the source they flip flop. Who is nipping at their heals and bringing up the rear in the number 3 spot??

OK my dealer had the SA221 with FEL. He was waiting on the M60SA MMM (should be in tomorrow). Does that mean that the mid PTO on the tractor is not factory wired during the build and the dealer will have to set up the mid PTO? Git-R-Done

When comparing Yanmar to let's say John Deere the dealers want to say "Oh the JD advantage is the drive over deck quick connect system". They pretty much will argue to the death if you say Yanmar also is a drive over. In all fairness there may be a couple addtl steps, but not enough to NOT buy...

Many of you know how hard it is to make a decision on which tractor when first time tractor buyer/owner. At the time of purchase dealer said just take paper work with you and will get pw signed and check $$$ when I deliver Tractor with FEL on Monday today. We are waiting on the MMM which was...

I would like to hear from the SA221 owners and their impressions and experiences. It may be the smallest of the Yanmar SA family, but it appears to be a great choice for those smaller homesteads. My use is as I have said mainly mowing 2 ac and some light loader work keeping in mind it's...

OK what is the difference between "Disc Harrow, standard duty" VS "Rotary tiller, gearbox drive"? My small garden area is about 25'X25'. Would it be smarter to just get a stand alone gas VS Yanmar attachment for tractor? Figure while 0 interest might just throw into deal. Also anyone here...

Well after 2 weeks of research and driving to dealers I finally made the plunge. After back and forth SA221, SA324 and going in today thinking 324 I decided the 221 will do all that I need. Put both in the yard at dealer digging and lifting and the such and YES 324 more tractor, but 221 quite...

I am all about safety and know I will need ballast on my SA324. I have looked in the op man and do not find minimum ballast weight. I am more concerned with rear ballast weight. Can someone direct me to where I might find this info (sub chapter) or a good 3rd party resource that will allow me...

Was looking for a detailed SA Owners Op Manual. I find a quick version, but looking for one that I would expect that a buyer receives. Is this only available in purchase packet or am I just not looking in the right place? Git-R-Done

Visited my local Yanmar dealer and was quoted on a 2020 SA324 FEL MMM= $17097 B4 tax with 72 mo fin. How does this compare to what some of you folks have seen out there? It appeared to be on his lot for a while as the steering wheel and dash seem to be a bit sun faded. Another concern is read...

In my research and seriously considering Yanmar I see IN MY (Houston TX Market) area no major Yanmar dealers. Most small equipment rental companies and sell Yanmar tractors as a second revenue. So my concern is IF my closest dealer (40 miles) goes out of business or changes brand I then have...

B4 folks start beating up or building up either let me explain my use. Mow 2.78ac. pretty much manicured with trees and gentle slope sandy soil. I went in thinking 324 then while I was there the dealer got a truck with 3 221's, surprise, surprise. I said OK let me take a look as do not want...

Knowing what u know now would u still buy the tractor you purchased? If not why and what would you buy in stead? How does that tractor better suit your needs? Git-R-Done

I have not purchased my 1st SCUT or CUT YET, but am curious. My property is quite sandy for the first 12-16". I will rarely be using the FEL, but have a few projects so mainly mowing. Would it be better to go ballast box for when using FEL. My thoughts are the additional constant weight if...

I thought I had pretty much made a decision on a JD 1025 then Willy had to throw some Yanmar videos on my post. I had seriously considered Yanmar SA324, but dealer had no mowers and no ETA so did not go see. Those of you who were undecided between JD & Yanmar what made up your mind? It sounds...

I mentioned this tour in a reply. I thought I would post as may be interesting to some. I believe there is a follow up or part 2 and will post that when find. Git-R-Done

I have quotes from several dealers. All included a $350 estimated charge for insurance that JD requires to cover the tractor during the finance period. Is this normal for those that have financed? I actually think its good because it covers theft and damage for 5 years. Git-R-Done

Still looking B4 purchase of a SCUT. As someone mentioned not a lot of comparison videos. Is it primarily the engine and placement of the bucket stick? What is the apprx price difference between the 2?

Just curious while looking at a used tractor. Is there a way that someone could roll back the hours or stop the hours from reading accurately on unit? If YES what should I be looking for or at?? Git-R-Done

If looking at used say within last 5 years so 2016 forward. Has the 1025 had any major changes engine, drive train ect in the last 5 years or pretty much remained the same? Wanting to know if I should avoid any of a certain year model? Git-R-Done

I am talking with a fella that is selling 2016 1025 with 127 hr. He is planning to have serviced at dealer next week. I will assume he is getting 200 hr? He mentioned repl belt, oil, lube, blades and filters, but NOT hydra fluids or screen. Isn't the mntce sch 50 hr, 200 and 200 thereafter...

New to the tractor world and considering my options new or used. On average what can you expect from a JD 1025r that is properly serviced and not abused? I'm thinking the Yanmar diesel should last a long time, but am comparing to my RAM Cummins.

Just thought I would ask coming from the riding mower world and never having owned a tractor. I know some would say a 1025 ain't a real tractor, but just a riding mower on steroids. Is finding a low hour 1025r that has service records a smart way to go VS new? $$$$ Second ? what would you...

Here is the deal 2021 JD 1025r with 54d mower and 120r loader. Quote = $16,497 Free delivery to my door + tax and misc. Good, fair or RUN??? I won't get into the brand battle. I am thinking add on a ballast box and the I-match. Better yet have them throw in 1 of those and I buy the other, which...
