Another rant about buying used

[Williy]

Am I correct is saying that the small John Deere tractors have Yanmar
diesel engines and Yanmar makes the JD 3038e tractor for John Deere?

The smaller JD’s use Yanmar engines. For sure the 1 and 2 series us Yanmar engines but I’m not sure about the 3 series on up.

Im pretty sure all the JD sub compacts and larger are JD made now.

If you have a Yanmar in your Deere, then be glad for it.

Here's a story of what happened with our John Deere skid loader with a Yanmar engine:

The kid helped me do an oil change, then I asked him to hop in the skid and start it up, wanting to get it to operating temperature so we could check for leaks.

You know how quickly teenage bodies can move. He started the engine and then hopped out in almost the same motion. "It's beeping at me!" He said.

"Don't worry. It's just the occupancy sensor. It's going to keep beeping until you get back in and lower the lap bar."

It kept beeping and we ignored it as we started putting away our tools, taking our time. Then we started cleaning up the shop.

Imagine my horror when I picked up the gallon jug of motor oil AND IT WAS STILL FULL!

"Shut it off! Shut it off!"

It wasn't beeping because of the occupancy sensor. It was beeping because we didn't refill the oil, and there was no oil pressure. And it probably ran that way for 15 minutes.

I figured the damage was already done, so no harm in filling it with oil and trying to start it.

Our mistake was five years ago, and that motor continues to run fine. I'm amazed.

One seller I saw recently posted a photo of a goat and said the seller intended to post an actual picture of the machine later. Why even bother? Why not post a picture of the machine and be done with it?

Hahahahaha. They're just looking for a nice tractor in someones yard to take a pic of, LOL

Here is a real life example of some of the FB for sale adds that will be there forever. This person wants $16,000 for a SCUT with no loader, no MMM. But it does have a janky looking thing in the front, that could be the big selling point

In today's market, it is probably worth about $5k, and that is to the right buyer. I'm not telling him, he is firm on price, he know what he gots. Hey hank, you can buy a brand new one WITH a loader for that.

Strange thing is I see a lot of this junk sell. So do they eventually drop price big time or is it just that there are many other stupid people out there?

The answer to your questions is Yes!
