I think your understanding is perfect except 1).
Any tax break to a new tractor does not occur.
The tax imposed on a tractor is only very few registration tax for running on road (except for a consumption tax when purchasing). It is about $20 a year.
If it is used in yard only,the tax is unnecessary.
And, the disadvantage of the tax on the exhaust gas of old tractors does not exist.

That so many used tractors went out from Japan has another background. It will be a long story, I will write about it on this weekend.

By the way, was the attachment method of my photograph bad?
I put the same photographs and some of others on "Reviews"(Yanmar YM1300). Please check them.
Thanks!

I am looking forward to this!!:licking::licking:

Ginormous, your thread has been hi jacked, but I'm hoping you are enjoying this. If not, I apologize for my shipwrecking and will stop if you wish.

Interesting action here, from Osaka, not a common thing..I'm sure you YM guys are about to pop??

 

[yotang224]

It is partially true. Most of them are the models for Japanese domestic.
They are "Gray market tractor" for the manufacturer.
However, the very near model for export exists.
For example, YM1300D-->YM135, YM1500D-->YM155
These manuals could be obtained in the U.S.
However, "very near" is not completely the same.
The appearance is almost the same, but there is no method of getting to know the detailed differences.

Thank you! I will be interested to read about the exports. To us, we wonder why a tractor would be retired while it still can be used. And as you can see, we pay far more for a used Yanmar than the price for that same tractor in Japan.

Nothing wrong with your attachments, but our browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc) don't do a good job interpreting websites that contain Kanji fonts. Not your problem! Somebody over here needs to tell us how to read yahoo.jp reliably. My experience: I can view your photos but if I hit 'Refresh' then the photo is replaced by nonsense (which is a substitute for the Kanji fonts I should have, but don't have.) Then if I go back to your post, I can see your photo again. Somebody on our end needs to tell us how to fix this.

"Reviews"(Yanmar YM1300).

?? I don't see a link I could click, or any way to go to 'Reviews'. Any advice? Can anyone see that section?

Absolutely. I was thinking exactly what you said. I can't wait to hear the story, since I heard the same things that he said were not the reasons for the gray market tractors coming here.

Yanmar YM1300 Review by yotang - TractorByNet.com


There is a section for reviews here. That is actually how I first found this forum, when I was investigating the 1401D tractor before I first bought a Yanmar and the madness started..:laughing:

 

[California]

Oh! Thanks 284! I've never looked in that section before.

Sorry for my dumb question.


Yotang that's a great review. I see you bought your Yanmar new in 1976 and now have only 900 hours. (and it survived being submerged twice ). Maybe we should believe the importers here who say the hour meter has never rolled over and the under-1000 hours shown is real. Far more hours would be typical for a tractor used here. The 1400 hours on my 1980 YM240 (YM2000) might be real, but the 950 hours showing on my YM186D (YM1510D) almost certainly is at least 1,950, maybe more.

As for submerged - I've always assumed that Yanmar expected a rice tractor would go under water once in a while and that's why they all have a compression release - to spin the water out of the cylinders without damage. Was that the big Fukushima tsunami that hit you way down in Osaka?

I'm glad you posted that review. We can only imagine how Yanmars are used in Japan.

My model is a YM2020D - Do you have an idea of where I can get a Japanese version of the Service Manual for it? Is there is a website or even a dealer I could contact?
