It's now open YanDeere season

[California]

Another old timer YanDeere

I think that one is an original from a place in Washington that imported and refurbed clean Yanmars from Japan, around 2000~2005. He painted them green and asked top dollar for them. A quality operation as I recall, just unusual.

Does your source for that photo match my hypothesis?

This one came from a family farm out west. It was in their farm blog having to sell it with the Allied FEL. They had since upgraded to a bigger tractor.

Over in the eastern EU countries, many people paint their Yanmars in JD green just because. Here's an impressive task for a compact; logging and stacking.

This YM1510 is a little grainy from the website I had found in the eastern EU. Add a ROPs and larger indicator safety lights and it would fool some into thinking this was a JD.

Another YanDeere I must say, this person went the extra distance to make the entire front grill area non-Yanmar and more JD-like. Nice work. However, you can still see the Yanmar eyes shine thru. Hard to determine if it was a YM1300 or YM1500 in the enlarged grainy image.

And that my friend is why this thread is called YanDeere. These are one-of-a-kind machines. Not OE. Some just down right neat to see. That Yanmar Diesel JD Honda bike is AMAZING.

Taking my avatar image and making it into a YanDeere



It looks more like a Tree Frog.

I once had a JD850. It's basically a YM2500 painted JD green. My Ym2610 is just an upgrade to power-shift. So, here are the two together ... Both were Fredricks' UTDA restored.
