Way to go Yanmar.....my local dealer has called it quits.

[quicksandfarmer]

My tractor has not seen the dealer since I bought it. Kind of forgot where he is at. Unlike Kabota or Deere don't need no hand holding.

Same with mine. There's nothing on it I can't fix. So far no part I can't have on my doorstep in two days.

That is a shame you are unable to source parts locally. I think Yanmar and a few of the other lesser known machines are pretty decent and especially for the price. It just seems there is a lot of parts issues with them unfortunately. Seems the dealers come and go a lot and that really makes it tough for the owners. I always buy Kubota because I believe they are good machines, never have problems with them and we have a local dealer if I need one. If my local dealer does not have it or even closes up shop there are several more through out the tri-state and a ton of mail order support. I like some of the other brands but in some cases there is only one dealer anywhere even remotely near buy and they are hardly "big" dealers so I am always concerned with their long term outlook.

Figured some one with too much Kioti testosterone would pipe in.. Neither has my neighbor with his Kioti needed the dealer that is not to be had if he does. But he only has 113 hr on a almost 9 year old machine.
I have only used the dealer once for something I did that wrong and was my fault not the machine's, but he was only 12 miles away when I needed him. That was the first year I had it and at 40 hr so it was covered for free even though it was abuse. It is now 10 years old and still low hours at just under 600 hours. I to can fix most anything I need but other than filters and oil changes it has never needed anything. So put that in your Off brand pipe and smoke it.


I find it strange that a Kioti owner sees fit to outright bash a Kabota, Deere or any other brand when one of them just states the true story of what has happened that they know is true about some other brand.

Again, Sorry I chimed in on this topic.

Amen to that.

If your going to pinch them slow I'm going to hit them out. Be a shame to disappoint you anyway. At least you called me Mr.

Good edit job. Show me where I bashed any brand.

I have no idea what the closest Kioti dealers carry in stock for parts. I never go there.
To easy to just pick the phone or order online and have it mailed to the door then to drive to a dealer. ( likely Yanmar is no different, pick up the phone and your parts come. Easy)
Tractor has never been back to the dealer since I bought it. (15 years and 2000 hours ago)

Bash, bash.

Bash, bash.

You do not know what means? You need to calm down or you will have the big one.
