It's now open YanDeere season

John Deere green and yellow are definitely great colors

Out there looking at the Yanmar KE Series for some engine info when I found this . .

Both the John Deere and Yanmar logo are present!

Been awhile since spying one of these - - -

JD green, JD Yellow on the rims, JD Yellow on the grills too.

Here is an honorable mention just because it sports the John Deere banner.

It's a Yanmar YM 3-digit domestic machine.

That looks suspiciously like my “John Deere” 650

And that reminded me of the real Deere 650 that's alongside a nearby lane - with no engine in it. It's been there for over 5 years.

That owner, a retired auto mechanic and classic car collector, came to look at my earlier YM186D (no loader) when he wanted his first tractor. Later he told me he had bought a real Deere to fix up and use instead, because he expected it was a better tractor.

The YM186D I sold is still working fine in the hands of the local guy I sold it to. That Deere 650 has never moved since I first saw it. I expect its engine is still on his workbench and is missing some unobtainable part.

You are having too much fun with this thread, it should be reported.

Is my 650 considered a YanDeere??

If I were to hide the dent in the hood with flames, like I did on my Gravely,,,

would the resultant machine be called Venison??

Nope, those would just be regular Deere's

See page-1 on what a YanDeere is all about.

Your machine is a true Deere made by Yanmar. The red one has a front grill with a Yanmar logo emblem between the eyes.

Yes, funny how the two machines look so closely the same.
