Not sure what part of MI ur in......but check out genes power equipment in Coleman, mi. Greg or Gene. Been around a long time, one of the best dealers in the region, and can answer all your questions. I buy all my parts from there and I'm in Ohio.
Aaron covered a lot of it.
Snow blowers, plows and sweepers of course, but cutting implements of some type are the among most common usage. Many flail mowers out of Europe come with bi-directional mounts.
Also commonly used for front mounted carryalls and counterweights.
I dont know about the Yanmars, but most front 3pt that Im aware of, have arms that fold up out of the way (or easily remove) for loader and front clearance when not needed so its not an either/or option.
I would say Case-IH Maxxum 110 (see the Case in the far left and what looks like the Case logo on the hood) and I would guess (based on what appears to be factory colors and the tires that look to be optimized for running on the road) that they were purchased by someone with enough volume to get their own color, probbaly a governmental organization (ie: a state or province).
