I have been getting lots of requests for parts for the F455 tractor. According to our broker in Japan that tractor does not exist and was possibly dreamed up in Korea or something. I found some pictures off the internet and the sheet metal and decals really do not fit like you would expect Yanmar parts to fit. Any experience with this tractor? Is it another YM350?

Aaron, It looks like an early Kukje out of S. Korea. Something similar to the 50 series Branson's that were Yanmar powered.

Dave, wasn't there an F4550 early series Branson from Kukje that was Yanmar powered? If so, an F455 might well be the prior model.

Either a 4550 or a 4350. It looked a lot like the F455 Yanmar some guys are listing. I think the F455 is not a Japanese built machine, although I am speculating here.

Check out the link below for this older model Branson.

That's really what i thought but wasn't sure. Sounds like we could safely add this model to our "byer beware" list.

There were Yanmar FX335 & FX435. I have not found an info on a F455. I think it is a Kukje. Just because it may have a Yanmar engine , some people think that means they can call it a Yanmar. More bad press .
