A local dealer has a F16D with very low hours just over 100. Tractor looks almost new, not repainted. I'm concerned about buying the F-series because it sounds like parts and manuals are harder to get. So I was considering getting one of the older YM models. The dealer thinks I'm nuts and says this F16D is the nicest Yanmar he has got in 12 years. He says he can get me parts but I'm a little skeptical. What do you all think. Any help would be apprectiated

Dealer wants $4600 with tiller. Is this a fair deal?

I have an F20D and it's the smoothest, quietest Yanmar I've ever driven.

sounds fair to, check all fluids? check for oil leaks around front wheels, fluids in front axle, what else guys? excessive smoke?

I have my pick of any Yanmar I get. I have an F22D for myself. It is a very quiet and smooth tractor with a smooth trans for a manual.

Bruce, I have put a down payment on the tractor and the dealer is putting on the category one 3 point hitch and says the 2 point hitch will stay also so I can use the tiller, changing all fluids and filters, three bumber weights and free delivery to my property. I'm also considering a new 60" Sitrex rear discharge finish mower the dealer has for $1075....do you know anything about the Sitrex decks?....I was basically worried about parts on the F-series. He has some nice YM models also I could probably still choose from 1510D, 1610D etc. It's just the F16D with the low hours looks so clean & unused....Thanks to all who have posted so far!

get a parts manual from him. then just order what you need or have your mechanic figure it out. It may take longer to get but you can get them.

We have the parts manual if you buy and need anything. Good luck!

Thanks,
Bruce
