Does anyone sell Yanmars in Michigan?

Saggydog · Jul 28, 2007

I am relocating from tennessee to Michigan. Yanmars seem to be a dime a dozen in the south and I have owned two. I sold my 2020 because it wouldn't fit on the truck. what a nice tractor it was and I was sad to sell it. Does anyone know of any places in Michigan that sell the Yanmars? Thanks.

Saggydog,

I don't recall any participating Michigan dealers here on TBN...but you're just a stones throw (South) to OH. and there are a few really good ones there.

LMTC and Hoye would be my first recommendation...and I know (think?) they both deliver. Think I'll ask right now......Hey do you guys deliver

?

Sad to see the YM2020 go, or anyone part with their Yanmar.

Good luck with the relocation and finding a new tractor.

We can arrange delivery virtually anywhere, though we do most of our own deliveries out to several hundred miles. We deliver to Michigan ourselves, and have done so many times.

OK, Mark, who are the other really good ones in Ohio?

Thanks for the info.

Seriously Mark, I was just curious. Thought maybe you knew something I don't. Let me re-phrase that, since I KNOW you know lots of things I don't, particularly when it comes to things mechanical. I thought maybe you were aware of some competition I hadn't run across yet. And thanks for referencing us. Have a great week.

Sorry, I was checking as I seem to remember an affiliate tractor place that was somehow connected with one of the Texas dealers.

After searching extensively, I never made the connection so I was wrong. So wrong in fact that every search I made points to your company as *The* place to go in Ohio and surrounding states. (It's he11 to get old

).

You may be thinking of something Best Used (who never touches or sees the tractors they sell....they just market from other places) used to reference -- a place in northern Ohio they called their "Ohio Yard" or "Eastern Yard". I've been there...it's an old parking lot in North Royalton, much of which was overgrown with weeds, where they would drop a container of tractors every so often. Every unit I saw (hey, it's only prudent to check out the competition) was in raw condition, and the business that actually operated from that location was involved in a number of other ventures, including marketing a lot of chinese machinery.

That place in North Royalton is also known as Allied Tractor. I live about 5 miles from them. Never seems like they move much out of there.

Saggydog,
I don't live in Michigan, but in Ohio. If it was me, I would definately check out LMTC's stock in his lot personally. I don't where in Michigan you relocating to, but it might be a nice weekend adventure. In case you haven't found his online inventory yet, it's right here. I have met the man and chewed his ear quite a bit. I'd trust him with a tractor purchase anyday.
I have seen some other Ohio dealers in the last 5-10 years on the net, but most are no longer selling tractors at all.
