Tractor lots are full

[Hay Dude]

The supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19 are finally starting to clear up. This, combined with healthy competition for our dollars, should mean some nice discounts soon!

No leave it. It gives constant reminder how bad things can get.

My favorite flavor ice cream is Chocolate Chip. What’s yours?

Just viewed an old Yanmar 4wd, rough but running, asking $2600.
Tractor lots full here too. Car dealers have lots of overpriced cars.
My elec bill doubled, gonna double again, soon as the solar panel subsidies kick in.

Is that the green and black one on craigslist? That thing has been on there for a year now, or it seems that way lol.

The seller must be pretty insistent on price, because it seems like for ~$1.5k - $2k this would at least be a fun project.

"COVID-19" didn't cause anything, the government and the FED did. Get your facts straight. And your new account with 1 whole post indicates you are a political troll.

Covid lockdown was from the CDC and it lined the pockets of many including Fauci…
He and Hunter Biden should be investigated, but they have some sort of shield around them.
If you ask me it is messed up!

I don't know which tractor you're talking about, but many yanmars were brought into the US as having been reconditioned after having been used overseas. Given the age and parts availability of some of those tractors, I'm not sure I'd want to buy into a project with one of them. Doubt they would have much resale value.

I bought a used Yanmar 226d with low hours with a box blade and rotary cutter from a Yanmar dealer 30+ years ago for something like $5,500. I am still using this equipment. The 226d just turned over 1,000 hours with very few issues over the years.

Today, I was quoted $2,500 to pickup my Mahindra 3525 and replace two brake shaft seals.

I don't think my money buys as much today as it used to.

Imagine what they would think if the men who signed the United States Declarations of Independence could see what the US govt has become today.

I had a 4wd Yanmar for over 5 years and loved it. I think it was a late 70s/early 80s grey market model. I was able to get every part I ever needed, including a new radiator, etc. I think it was 21 or 22 hp, but that little 2 cylinder did just about the same level of work as my 3 cylinder JD790 30hp tractor (also a Yanmar).

Having owned the 226d for all these years, I think the quality was excellent and Yanmar screwed up by exiting the US market in the 1980s. They could have been in the position of Kubota today in the US.
