FX series parts availbility

[Pozzman]

I am thinking of looking at an FX24D. I was wondering if parts are readily available for the FX series. I know the YM series are alot easier to come by.
Are the FX series as good as the YM series?

I also just saw a US35D for sale but do not know anything about the US series, actually I never even heard of it until now. Can anybody shed any light on this series?

Thx...Pozzman

And so are their parts.

In nearly 14 years I have never heard of a Yanmar US35D model in a compact tractor, or anything close to that.

I would spring for the FX24, they are a nice tractor with the step thru design, (no shifter in the way) we have 2 of them here that we sell parts off to customers. Their only weakness is the ring & pinion gear in the rear axle.
Just dont do high rev power shifts and you will be fine.


The US35 is an exact replica of a john deere only in red from what I have seen in the photos. Now that I would shy away from (parts) there just are'nt enough of them over here yet, in my opinion.

We sell 4 fx tractors for every YM series, maybe because we like them better (biased) I guess.

I have a F22d which is an F-series without the powershift. I test drove a YM2220 before purchasing my F22D and really prefered the layout of the controls alot beter than the YM. The F-series seemed more refined to me and just fit me better. The shifter is next to your right thigh perfect for shifting when using the loader, just feels right ergonomicly to me. I have had almost no issues with mine except a dynamo bearing which went out and cost me $5.00 to replace, ordered the bearings online. I agree with Ernie, they are Great tractors and I wouldnt be afraid to purchase another one again.

..... The shifter is next to your right thigh perfect for shifting when using the loader, just feels right ergonomicly to me......

That's the one thing that bugs me about my F16, is that the shifter is on the left side. I sure wish it was on the right side. But, if it was, it would get in the way of the 3pt levers. Would you mind taking a pic of yours (with the seat raised) someday? It's not like I'd be able to change mine, I'm just curious, that's all.

Ernie.....tell me about the US35. Is this a relatively new model? Seriously never heard of such.

As far as F/FX, I know you source parts for them pretty well, but how many aftermarket parts can you lay your hands on next day? Don't most of your parts have to come from Japan? I have personally never been comfortable on the few F/FX units we have bought. Something more traditional about the YM styling that I like, and I know the few times we had to work on F units I heard complaints about access being more difficult.

I know the time is coming when we will have to buy them, as quality YM models are becoming more and more difficult to find.

Hi Wayne, I know very little about the US35 as I have never had one here to see. It looks like a very nice machine, but like I said, parts could be an issue.

We have no problem getting parts for the F s for our customers.
The ring & pinion is the only one we have to go to japan for, plus there are a lot of parts dealers that have parts. Hoye tractor parts has quite a collection of F series on his lot for parts, so do a few other dealers.

Fredricks is working on their second batch of ring & pinion gears. So that will make life a little easier.
