"Where is Cat Spring, Texas? Is the dealer there, or did you have to go to larger town? I'm near Dallas, and was wondering where a Yanmar dealer is near me.__________________
$0.50 for air???...that's rediculous.......no, that's inflation!!!"

Uh, you need to check the spelling on your signature

Cat Spring is about 50 mile west of Houston between Columbus and Sealy. I got the Tractor from RCOtractor they are on the east side of Dallas and in Austin. there is also a place called Josef Tractor in Dallas that sells Yanmar, my neighbor bought a Yanmar from them and is quite happy with it and them , you can find them on E bay or Tractorhouse.com. Tractor house is a pretty good resource.

Tractorhouse is a place to find the largest collection of misleading ads I have ever seen anywhere. Just look at the ads people and businesses have on there for Yanmar....1990 YM2000, 1991 YM1700D, etc. A nice 1989 YM2310D from the folks at Techsys, whose ebay auctions are sometimes referenced here. This has been the case on that site for the year plus during which I have looked at it occasionally. A pair of 1983 and 1986 YM1900s, one with only 6 hours

There's a "very nice!" 1987 YM1500D that has 25 HP. Wow.....

You want an eye opener, spend an hour reviewing the Yanmar ads on that site....take some notes. See which advertiser(s) consistently misrepresent the model year of their tractors. Then do some searches, look at their pictures and claims (completely rebuilt, zero hours, etc.) and see which segment of the market they come from.

I enjoy tractor house very much! I must admit that I don't look at the Yanmar's on it much. I mostly look at the Oliver and Deere ads. Tremendous web site for tractor ads. By the way your tractor is extra good looking. It is very nice indeed. Now get out there and get some dirt on it!!!!

Hi guys, long time no talk.

The tractorhouse thing, well, i think this is just marketing shimsham to take advantage of the unknown. Dubious, yea. unethical, probably. Buyer beware, definitely.

I think the the bottom line is know in detail the antique tractor you want to purchase and what kind of support you will get for it.

As an RCO owner, I can say, it's gonna be A-OK.

Cheers guys, -arthr31
