I had only seen pictures of this machine, but it is in excellent shape w/195 hrs. It looks like it was only ever used to cut grass and the SB52 looks like it only has a hand full of hours on it. The FEL might have carried a few buckets of dirt or mulch...maybe. The protective film on the arm logo was still in place! The rear PTO/3ph looks like it has never had anything hooked to it. One tire needed air and one rear signal lens is cracked, other than that it looks mostly new. I ran it though some thick wet grass and it blasted right through it no problem. It goes 11mph wide open on pavement. It is a 2012 so post CC break all Yanmar SC2400. It cost me 1/3 of what a similar setup new would have been from one of the O/G delaers in town. I really have no use for the SB52 so I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. It might have come in handy maybe 3-4 times in last 10 years. Now I hope we get a few blizzards!!!
Aside from the attachments I was quoted over 2x what I paid just for a comparable FEL/MMM setup so I'm pretty stinkin' happy.
My only gripes so far are the treadle, but I will learn to get used to it, and the hoses for the bucket cylinder seem like they could easily get damaged.
Other than that, :cool2:
This is my first non garden tractor and I am pretty impressed. My other yanmar is a Vio27 excavator, that I have had for 10 years. It has over 3400 hours and runs strong as ever.
That was part of the reason for me to stick with Yanmar.
