I'm in GA and listed my YM2000 for $3500.00 about a year ago.
It's not as clean as yours, has a new clutch with less than 5 hours on it at the time, and stored under a shelter. I had well over $500.00 in the clutch, pressure plate, turning the flywheel ETC and did the labor myself.
As previously stated the hour meter is only there to help with maintenance schedule. They roll over at 999 hours so nobody knows the true hours on their YM2000.
I listed it on FaceBook, CragisList ETC.
I never got a cash offer over $2000.00 so it's still sitting under my pole where it's likely to remain.
A tractor this size really needs to be 4x4 to improve usefulness and that seem to hurt resale vale.

I bought a kubota but decided to keep the yanmar. It's worth more to me if it sits under the shed than to let someone have it.
I find myself still using the yanmar for many projects where I can't get the kubota because of it's size

People these days don't understand that a 2wd tractor is still usefull. The Ford N tractors were all 2wd. Now they had more ground pulling power but really no more for mowING than we do. Many a family mad a living with international Cubs that had less HP and we're also 2wd. But most folks this is lost on them. I am only 36 but I remember my grandparents generation still working those tractors all the time to put in gardens and mowing.

like when 30-40 hp tractors without loaders, HST, shuttle shift, etc, tractors did all the plowing and work.

I'm a few yrs. older than you "quite" clemsonfor and can actually remember my Grand Father's pulling Horse "Trigger" which was put to pasture when my grandfather purchased his N.. He was the boss @ the mines and new quite a few folks. I have the N put up and very few Know it's a Conversion Funk. Yup! Told my uncle to put it up before he passed away.
If I had a loader on my 2wd. YM 2000 it would have be 4wd. But I use it mainly for mowing. My lawn mower LOL. If I would need a Loader I would and have just rented a Bobcat. I use a JD 5103 2wd. with a JD. Frontier loader if I need it. In almost 15yrs. never hit this property yet.......

Hit that reply to the Min. Lewjay. I am in Ga. also Athens area. Been keeping up with Yanmar for a long time. Most any are a hard sell but if yours is as in good condition as the Pic. you can get good money for it. But it going to take someone that knows what it is and then pay it. Way to many options now days. JMO... Put it in a shed Etc. your wish you hadn't.............

Get ready for low ball offers. I'm sure you can sell but the question is how low are willing to go in order to get it gone. One guy made a decent offer but he wanted me to finance which I agreed to but he couldn't come up with a down payment.
Adrian is about 30 minutes from here. Does your friend in Adrian have a use for a small tractor? I'd rather let a friend have it for a ridiculously low price if it came to that.
If your tractor was 4x4 with a FEL you could almost name your price.

I don't think you will get an offer anywhere near $4500. The right guy might be there at the right time. I personally think a best offer may hover somewhere over the $3000 mark.
I think this is a recon tractor?
