Dealer Heard of this dealer?

[sbaker23]

Hey all! Want you to know that this is a great forum for learning about tractors. Thanks in advance.
I am looking at getting a tractor (duh!) and was looking on TractorHouse.com and found a dealer: Rinehart Tractor and Supply in Salley, South Carolina. Has some great deals on Yanmars (in my humble opinion) but after being exposed to this forum I have some worry about the "If it's too good to be true..." If I have learned one thing from you guys it's how important a reputable dealer is. So... anyone heard of this dealer and what do you think of the prices?

Welcome Seth,
I don't know anything about them, but my first impression is that they are selling recons.

Here are some folks in S. Carolina that come with references
Southland Equipment

Gizmo36 is our "Go to Guy" on S. Carolina Yanmars

Thanks Bruce. Know of any dealers (Yanmar) in North Carolina?

Their prices are about right for bottom end machinery. Check all their adds in tractorhouse and ask yourself why they claim most of their units to be 10 or more years newer than they really are.

There are only 2 Yanmar dealers in Western NC that I know about. Both sell only recons. Everyone here goes to Southland.

Wayne, my favorite is the "1991 MITSUBISHI MT1800DT 25 hp". No matter the fact there is no such model tractor (it is actually a D1800II) but it was built in the 70's and is actually 21.76 hp per the MFG. This is either the most misinformed tractor dealer on the east coast (poor guy, people been lying to him and all) or the typical snake charmer along the road.

I just bought a YM 2610 D from Ben at Southland and even though I haven't picked it up I am very pleased. The people at Southland are very honest. I drove up from Florida and checked out different places. I visited Southland on monday and was shown a machine that had been unloaded on saturday. I asked to hear it run and they went to work. They checked all the fluids, attached the exhaust and put some jumper cables on the battery. All this was done right in front of me, the mechanic turned the key and that machine started to purr, I was hooked ! By the way you can't beat their prices.
