The Yanmar position on the Grey Market issue stands with all
manufactures including but not limited to ISEKI and Mitsubishi,
Shibuara
Listen everybody my post wasnt meant to discredit any one individual, or dealer, or Grey Market Owner.
A knowledgeable person who has good mechanical knowledge
and a good knowledge in the operation of a tractor may find
this a viable alternative.
It is not something I would recommend for the inexperienced tractor buyer or operator,or someone who does not intend to personally work on his or her own tractor
We all know how many deaths occur every year from tractor
roll overs and accidents with Pto Implements. We all know
how much time can be devoted to finding that hard to find part.
These posts are not meant to be personnel
I gave my opinion, based on real Data from the Manufactures
themselves and my observation of tractors I personally looked over.
All are entitled to make their own observsations and opinions.
As to old Ford 8n and 9n tractors ,you are correct they do
not have todays safety standards.
Neither do fifty and sixty year old Automobiles. Doesnt
make me want to necessarily own one.
I would much rather have Disc Brakes then outdated Drum brakes on my automobile
Everything is a balance of how much money one has and what they intend to do with the tractor and how much knowledge they have in the operation amd the maintaining
of that farm tractor.
And personnel experience is what makes this forum work.
No one person is right on every count.

The reason for "English" labels on Japanese tractors is for
the benefit of english speaking foreign operaters of equipment
in Japan.
Many foreigners and contractors entered Japan after WWII and have made their homes there
English Labeling of Japanese tractors is no different then the United States requirement that all products sold in the US
provide foreign markings and supply foreign speaking manuals to accompany their product to non english speaking
Americans
Japanese tractors built exclusively for the US market usually
do not have Japanese written placards attached to them.

I am going to just leave it with this...most of your statements are misleading and many are just plain in error. I have no idea what makes you come here and spread half-truths and inuendo about these tractors, but freedom includes the freedom to be ill-informed, so have at it.

Wow man !!
you got coal in your stocking ?
To many diesel fumes?
Unless you own a grey market tractor what makes you an expert on the subject? I smell a trouble maker !

As a former owner of a Japanese tractor, would I buy another one? In a heartbeat. As far as English decals and instructions, most Yanmars are simple to figure out except for some of the newer units, the FX's and the F's.

I own a grey market Yanmar for about 2 years now. Haven't had to replace anything except oil and filters for 200plus hrs. of operation. I have manuals for my machine and I know what every lever etc. does.
I don't think my hood or fenders are high wear items. Looks like I won't need to replace any of that stuff for about another 20 years.
