You are aware that the Yanmar is about 30 years old, are you not?

If the yanmar is only $2200 less than a new manihandra with a 5 year warrenty that would give me something to think about. But still thats $2200 saved and that is a lot of repairs and my bet is that in 5 years you would not do anything to the yanmar so that part about not having a warrenty would be null.
The manihandra will decreas in value but my guess in that in 5-8 years the value would be similar. Manihandra makes a good machine. If the 2310 is that size you need i am not sure id go bigger.

Have you checked with Fredricks? Looks to me that they sell their 2420D for $7599.
Unless the other one you're looking at includes a lot of implements, I'd take a road trip to Hartselle AL!
Plus with Fredricks, you get a warranty and a great bunch of people to deal with.

On their WP. they are advertising a 2610 for 6.999.00$ out the door. 8.299.00 4wd. Seen it the other day and caught my eye. IMO, that's a deal!!!

Yes I know they are 30+ years in age, why do you ask?
clemsonfor I agree with the value and other points you made. There's something that's nice about having something new...then there is something even nicer about having something old.. The Yanmars definitely haveI the 'cool' factor that a lot of other tractors do not.
The 2310 is probably more than I need and the 2420 is the same size just more power, 2610...oh I would love that but it is way to big for what need.
Gunny/carey63 Fredericks is the only place I have been looking to purchase after reading on this forum. The prices that I am using are with FEL and figuring in freight delivered. I have a truck and trailer plenty capable but delivery is pretty close to fuel. You are right, a trip down would be worth it and a good family trip too.

All of the 2 cyl diesels I've owned or used, vibrated much more than the 3 cyl engines, and that get's old!
All of the 3 cyl diesels started much easier in cold weather than the 2 cyl diesels too!
Personally, I'd pick the 3 cyl for sure!

That is definitely the way I am leaning, cold start is a big factor as my wife would use it in my absence. She might enjoy the other features of the 2cyl though

I don't know if I would like a 2 cyl or not..To hear the guys that have them talk about the noise. I'll stick with my 3 cyl.
Keep in mind.. The yanmar being 30+ yrs old, lack some parts supply.
The Mahindra should have an abundant parts supply for yrs. For this reason alone, I pick Mahindra... Fredricks is also the largest Mahindra dealer in North Alabama.

Oh I am all for a 3 cylinder, I was making a joke towards my wife about "the vibrations" the 2 cyls.
I have a Manindra dealer within 60 miles of my house that, when I return from work, I will be visiting. The Mahindras have some pretty impressive numbers, excellent hydraulic ratings, excellent build and a lot of weight. The Max 28 xl shuttle I am interested in has a Mitsubishi engine that is used in a lot of other industrial applications, separate power steering pump (I believe it piggy backs off the main hydro system), mid and rear pto etc. Nice set up but still a few $K more and much smaller in stature than the Yanmar. In all they are very different tractors that will come down to preference more than money spent. I believe the small size of the Mahindra will come in handy for the smaller, confined jobs.

Is the weight of the yanmar and Mahindra similar ? You said $2200 difference in price for the Mahindra ? If you have the xtra.. I would buy the Mahindra due to parts supply...
If you save 2200 ,something breaks and you can't get the part. What good is the savings ??
Just for the heck of it, I would get a price for the max from fredricks.. He may be able to beat the price you got on the Max.Doesn't cost to get a price.
Good luck which ever route you take !
