Any 30-50 HP Yanmars being sold in this country???

Interesting to know that Tier III tractors are still rolling off the Yanmar line in 2015. This should be of interest to tractor shoppers who are wary of Tier IV emission controls and gadgets and want a simpler Tier III machine to maintain. Thanks for the info!

Yep, that's a positive for sure! Prices will be less, and a less complicated engine as well. Many dealers of various brands have some lingering Tier III models, and folks would be wise to take notice if they plan to buy in the next few months...now is the time.

TYM is using Tier IV Yanmar engines in some of their new tractors ( over 30 hp) so Yanmar has to have the engines to put in their own tractors.

I think it is a matter of using up all of their Tier III or flex credits. That is probably not the right term, but you know what I mean.

I think grey markets are a different subject entirely.

Has anyone called that number in the listing?

Further, I thought there was at least one court ruling prohibiting the sale of at least one brand of grey market tractors on account of the safety features not being either up to regs or original? I would imagine a genuine importer would want to be seen to be meeting safety regs.

For what it's worth, if Yanmar had both 50-70 HP tractors, and a dealership network here, I'd be very interested. Their LX series is just too small for my needs.
