And to go even further off topic, if that's possible... I just went to buy a boom pole from a guy about 25 miles away. He sent me a picture of this home-made, 50-year-old 3-pt boom pole. It looked sturdy and he wanted $40, so I arranged to go get it. Well, I get there and find out the draw bar he showed it with, and that it needed to operate, was not included. I told him I needed to think about whether I wanted it or not, and he proceeded to start going on about why he thought it was ridiculous for me to be worried about that. After a few minutes of him implying I was cheap, dumb, etc. I told him I didn't want it and offered to help him re-attach it to his tractor. As you might guess, he wasn't too happy with that and told me to "get out of here!" which I gladly did. With people skills like that, I bet this isn't the first time a deal went south on him. Alright, I'm done venting! Glad I had a 25 mile drive home to cool off. :D

Another thought about why Yanmar stayed with green... I bet they decided that Americans liked GREEN tractors, like JDs. If that's what they thought, they're right about a lot of Americans.

My screen saver right now is a factory green ym1401d. If Yanmars ever get to collector status, the pea green ones will be the ones sought after.
