Another uninformed seller

thegreatrandini · Apr 1, 2005

Yea at this point I don't want Ebay to get any more money....I don't think I will sell my Yanmar for 20 years or so.....Then maybe just donate it to charity.......I had thought about trading it for a modern unit (like a new farmall) but The Yanny does everything I need it too and it is paid for......I may get one of those Z mowers though.........

I bought a ZTR to mow my property because of the hilly terrain and all the trees to mow around - workss great and takes 1/3 the time to mow. I considered just buying a finish mower to pull behind the Yanmar, but I'm glad I spent the extra $$$ and bought the ZTR. I have a little less than 3 acres to mow, here's what I bought...............

Yea thats it... I use a 2000 Huskey hydrastat tractor and if I can wear the thing out I will get something like your mower....Problem is I figured out how to service the tranny and differential so it will prob run for ever....... I think I finish mow less than an acre....I use the yanny with bh to do the rest of my 8 acres.... I use to mow some of that with that poor little huskey but it still does a nice job... I just change oil and blades so far.... I am gonna service the trans this year.....
This could be new thread so I will close......

My next door neighbor had a Huskey and said it was the best made ZTR he'd found, plus he liked that it was made in KS. When I went to buy mine a couple of years later I couldn't remember the name so I wound up with the Exmark (which has been perfect so far), then last year, at a seminar I met one of the VP's for Huskey and he gave me his card, then I was able to find them on the web. I think they look like a well made mower so I have a feeling you'll be using yours for quite a while...........

( I am one of those uninformed sellers as well. Or shoudl I say I was. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Put ad on ebay to sell my Yanmar later model "grey market" tractors and ended the auction after a couple days. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif After being contacted by ebay I called the person representing Yanmar over this and it's pretty clear. You can't sell them. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Now I haev to dig a big hole to bury these nice tractors. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Well NOT but I won't be getting any more of them for my stock to sell once these are gone. I do see some people getting away with advertising them and just laugh and think goodluck.

The critical difference is that you were selling them commercially. I could see Ebay/Yanmar/JD having an issue with that as you are the source for these tractors. I just bought a 1110d off of ebay from dealer. The critical difference is that he doesn't sell Yanmars, he just had this one in on trade. The auction went off without a hitch and hopefully I'll have a nice tractor.

Please explain how you sell one UNcommercially? You say the guy that sold you one doesn't sell Yanmar, he just had one on trade? Did he sell it to you? Was it a Yanmar? If the answer to these is "yes", then he sold a Yanmar. And taking it on trade and then selling it is pretty much the heart and soul of "commerce".

And the poster you address is NOT the source of those tractors. The source is the factory where they are made. That poster is probably not even the "source" for bringing them into the U.S.

ah my huskey is lawn tractor that I bought at TSC made by MTD....... I will look into those huskey ztr mowers......

If you have been following the Yanmar Ebay thing you would know that your auction was just luck.....Has nothin to do with commercial sales.......

I've only been watching the auctions for a couple of weeks now. Havn't seen any that I was watching ended. The only problem that I knew of was one guy who was trying to offer a "buy it now" option and kept on having scammers end his auction. I did see the green "JD" Yanmar and immediatly dismissed it. To try an misrepresent something so grossly was a large red flag. I did e-mail another fellow that was trying to sell his 1310 as having 25hp and got him to reduce the power to a more realistic hp.

Yeah there is a big difference between the MTD Husky sold at TSC and the Husqvarna brand. The 'Husqy' ZTR's look to be well made.
