Yanmar YM110D
I was a contributor here, and small time importer of grey market Yanmar tractors over 20 years ago. I still own a YM1110D that I have used to mow my yard and clear snow for over 20 years.

I'm now looking at options for a larger tractor around 30hp to operate on a new larger property. I'm primarily looking at Yanmars since I have had a really good experience with the ones I've dealt with. So here's the question:

Does anyone have a contact for suppliers of loaders for grey market tractors, and Yanmars in particular?

A Koyker 160 is roughly the size I'm looking at. I'm pretty good at mechanics and design, but not a welder. I'm hoping for a standard US made loader with a mounting kit specific to tractor model. I'm currently looking at something like a YM2620D or YM2820D.

We do have a Yanmar section on TBN, Plenty of us Gray Market owners, in fact we out number the domestic owners here.

Yanmar

And the Yanmar Tractor Owners Group is still alive and well after 35+ years.
I bet at one time you were involved with the group. So much has changed and now we are welcoming in the 2nd generation owners of the machines either passed down or sold to new homesteaders.

As for loaders,
ColdWater is still around out west
Koyker is still around
V-Tek is VN made with little to no info nor support
BullDog is out there, we have a few sketchy tid-bits of info to keep those going
Yanmar OE Gray Market loaders, the YTOG has several of those manuals to cross over to parts here in the USA from Yanmar wheel-loads to excavators.
and a few others. . .

If you are near Fredricks in AL, they do an awesome restore to the machines. And their 1 year warranty tends to be better than name brand tractors here in the states.

The YM2620D or YM2820D are good choices as those have the 3T84 engine.
The YM2610D has the 3T80 engine with many shared parts to the Deere JD850.

Some have said the YM2820D engine configuration is very much like the YM330D.

Keep in touch, plenty of us would love to hear your history. Stop on in over at the Yanmar side of the site too or even on the YTOG. Link below in my signature.

Thanks bmaverick. I contacted ColdWater, but they don't ship anymore, and besides would need the tractor on site to build the mounting.

I'll head on over to the Yanmar section.
