2210d for $1000....what do you think?

I think this does not apply to Hoye. I believe they were one of just a few places named by name that are allowed to still deal in them.

I thought their OEM parts were mostly dealer closeout inventories. TractorErnie mentioned he shipped them a truckload. Maybe that was parts tractors but I thought parts too.

I could be wrong, but wouldn't think there would be a lot of OEM parts left for 35 + year old tractors

There must be some. I bought a clutch safety switch from Leonard. The rubber accordion collapsed, tore, in the first week. He wouldn't replace it. "Electrical parts".

I'm sure there are some. Just not a lot. Like trying to buy OEM for a 35 yr old vehicle. You'll find some parts, but not many.
I was able to purchase an OEM fuel tank cap with gauge from someone several yrs back.

The seat I just bought is most likely an aftermarket

I've been a Yanmar tractor parts dealer since 1997. The tractor parts distributor we were told to get parts from after moving it from Buffalo Grove informed me they were no longer a distributor & to contact Yanmar. Yanmar rep told me to contact a new Yanmar tractor dealer for parts.

I would assume the modern Yanmar dealers have access to parts manuals and YM parts.

That's funny right there. All the yanmar tractor dealers around here aren't really dealers at all.
The so called yanmar tractor dealer closest to me had new yanmar tractors about 6 months ago. Their main line were Zero turn mowers as tractors as a side line.

I stopped in looking at the 59 hp tractor. I asked the sells guy if they could add a 3rd function valve for a grapple ? He looked at me as if I were nuts, and said ''if you tell me what a grapple is, I might be able to answer your question''.

If you are selling tractors and don't know what a grapple is, you night not need to sell tractors !
Stick to selling Z turn mowers !
I left and bought a Kubota.

I went back to this same lawn mower shop the other day to purchase a belt for my Z turn mower. There were no more New yanmar tractors. I asked what happened, and the guy behind the counter (different guy) said they weren't selling so yanmar took them back. He indicated that they may start trying to sell them again sometime soon.

I have seen other places around me that have always sole ATV's. They are now carrying New yanmar tractors as their 2nd line.

Until yanmar can set up a ''true'' dealer network, I don't they will have much success selling tractors around here

Unfortunately, same problem here. When 'new' Yanmar arrived I looked on their dealer locator and found one in Santa Rosa, the small city that is the natural center for anything ag in the region north of San Francisco. So I drove by. A small shack, with signs for saw sharpening and keys made. No signs of life, no motor vehicles or ag stuff anywhere in the modest parking lot.

I just now looked on Google street view. The couple of listed Yanmar Ag dealers in a 100 mile radius of Santa Rosa don't have any stock of Yanmar tractors, one has a couple of green apparent trade-ins among the four tractors on his small lot and the other places seem to be only rental equipment yards.

I hope Yanmar Ag USA makes it but I didn't find any signs of life around here.

The thing is, If one were to purchase one of these tractors ,Who works on the tractor when an issue arises, someone that doesn't even know what a grapple, or 3rd function valve is ? Or, do you call tech support and make repairs yourself ?

When I checked on the tractors, they weren't any cheaper than any other brand with a dealer network, mechanics, etc,.
I'm not going to pay top dollar for a tractor with no dealer network.

No way I see them making it in the tractor business here, unless they change they way they operate

That's the truth, and I think most people fell the same is why there not selling. No one buys a new tractor form the guy who sells lawnmowers as a main line without a full shop.
