Fat Man,
There is a Kioti Dealer just outside of P'ville that has a fair selection of Kiotis and also has had used tractors available as well. I dont recall the name but he is right off of 49 as you head south from El Dorado. If you have not checked there you might give him a shout. He also has a fair selection of implements.

Fat_man,
The 1502D and 1601D tractors I mentioned earlier are now in Modesto and for sale. My brother-in-law is selling them. Email me for his phone # if interested. Both have loaders, tillers, 3pt, and box scrapers.

Thanks for all your help. The Kids and I've been laid low with the flu the last couple weeks so I have'nt replied. I wont be looking at actual machines till after the holidays. If I swing north or south I'll let you Know Jim and Dave. Mark I don't recall seeing any dealers south on 49 but I'll check into it. I tend to watch the pavement when I drive, I've got priors, so I may have missed it.
I believe the 1500 is 17 hp. The Yanmar is a very good machine, BUT, if I had it all to do over again, I would buy
a Deere, Case, or New Holland. Not, that they are better tractors, but parts, filters, and service are available for
the U.S. marketed tractors. I have had a Yanmar FX28D for
2 years, and its performance has been execellent. However,
an english manual for the FX28 does not exit (some are now being translated to english) and finding parts is very difficult.
And, very expensive if found. (Yanmar USA will not support
the grey market tractors)
ie,If a hydraulic filter can be found, it may cost well over $100.00. However, all this said, if you can find a good
low hour 1500 (bare)for around $2500, its still probably a bargain.
(a small garden lawn tractor can cost you that much).

A Yanmar brand hydraulic filter will cost you about $50. I have had a YM2620 and an FX26, both used the high dollar hydro filters. All tractor parts are expensive period, grey market or domestic. I needed a part for a grey market Hinomoto 2304. Part from Massey was $800, the same part from AGCO was $176. It stayed back ordered for a month. I finally ordered it from Japan, had it in 2 weeks, and it cost $90 delivered. The grey markets aren't perfect but they aren't as scarey as people make them out to be.

There is a fella here that has a YM3000 Yanmar like my fathers with new paint and a Factory all hydraulic loader for 6500. If your interested in I can get his number, One of my customers was wanting to buy it and install power steering but he needed a smaller tractor like a YM1700 for getting inside his stalls.
