Any word or information on the "NEW" Yanmars

[winston1]

"As for parts, I went with a YM2500/YM2610 because it shares so many parts with the John Deere 850 & 950 compact tractors. There will be parts for decades for these models just like the older Ford 8N and Massey-Furgenson tractors."


Don't know that I can agree on that. The parts are sure available for all the old John Deere made John Deere's but if you go to John Deere's parts sight looking for parts for the Yanmar built John Deere's you will find many say "no longer available". I believe the Yanmar parts dealers out there such as Hoye have more parts available for the old Yanmars than John Deere does for the Yanmar built John Deere's. Just my 2 cents. :2cents: Probably wrong.

Still don't see any CAB's in their lineup, I wanted a Yanmar when I got my MF. But no cab, No sale. I love being nice and warm while blowing snow, and yes I am getting soft as I get older.....

These New Tractors should start hitting the dealers late April or Early may.

Yanmar and Deere were in a custody battle - and the parts are the kids. Yanmar being the mother, wins.

That is true. Well then, if someone has a gray Yanmar, then sticking with the top two popular engines would be the best bet for future parts since more would be available.

As much as Yanmar seems to be making a huge move away from providing Deere and Cub tractors to selling their own, I doubt they will leave anyone stranded. Yanmar is a good company, I think they will make sure their parts are available no matter the brand the tractor was sold under. That is my $0.02.
