Is yanmar still making any new tractors overseas? If so, what model 3's have been produced since say 1999?
Thanks,

I agree wih you 100%. I got a call last week from a person that bought a new 2001 model 30 hp Yanmar SD2043 from a dealer in Ohio. It is really an early 80's Shibaura 20/24 hp. The dealer claimed he bought 80 of them from a dealer going broke in Tn. It is common knowledge in the trade that the reconditioned tractors(?) are bought in Japan as junk tractors.

I don't know if the John Deere 4110 is still made by completely by Yanmar but if a guy wanted a NEW Yanmar thats probably as close as you can get. I have heard that there are some dealers who recondition old Yanmars and call them new. Of course it is pretty hard to imagine them doing a complete remanufacture and even if they did everything you possibly could do it would still be a used tractor. There seem to be quite a few people out there just waiting for someone to fleece them of their money. Anyone who ever bought a used tractor has rolled the dice but you ought to go into a deal with some knowledge.

"Reconditioning" is a VERY loose term and way overused. It usually only means a paint job. Some dealers will advertise thier tractors are not prettied or doctored up as though that is a real benefit. I regard this thinking as reasoning for not painting the unit. I wonder what else wasn't done, and of all the things to emphasize about the quality of the unit was this the best they had to offer. That it wasn't painted so you can SEE what your getting. What you can see isn't the problem anyway, its what you can't see where problems creep up.
I view the cosmetic appeal of the tractor to be important, and only second to the mechanical integrity of the unit. I try to paint all of them I can and usually paint some portion of all of them. I feel it improves curb appeal, and contributes to the perception of quality and value on the part of the non traditional tractor customer. First impressions count.
When choosing between two tractors, one painted and one not, there is still no way of knowing if time was taken by the seller to make the tractor right. I suggest asking for a specific list of what was done to that specific unit to make it ready to sell. Unless of course you're buying the creampuff only used on sundays, waxed regularly and has never seen a rice paddy.

I prefer my tractors untouched. Just my own personal preference.

then your in luck cause theres lotsa folks that don't do a thing to them.
Len, that person contacted us BEFORE buying and we told him it wasn't a Yanmar. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him believe it's really water. I often wonder why people ask a question when they aren't prepared to accept an answer.
Paint--I'm sure different folks have different preferences. I don't know why you would paint a tractor that looks good, or increase the customer's costs unnecessarily. Perhaps the folks who choose to do so don't have units that look as good as the ones we see. My comment above re: paint was SPECIFICALLY regarding one outfit, taking poor quality tractors through VietNam, and giving them essentially a cosmetic-only reconditioning and paint job. In this market, in general, having ALL units painted meant this quality of tractor, in my opinion. I stand by that. Does it mean some repaints are not mechanically good, or that no non-repaints are mechanically bad? Of course not. But the odds are.........
Now...you say "lotsa folks that don't do a thing to them." I assume you cannot be talking about importers, because if an importer did nothing to the tractors, they would be sold in pieces from the container. I am not aware of anyone doing that. Are you? There are clearly some who don't do much in the way of repairs or mechanical intervention, but I still think the initial quality of the unit is a bigger factor than the work done on them. And units that are initially the best quality GENERALLY are not in need of paint. Hank, you got a pretty tractor. Would you have wanted it painted, at in increase in your price? Or even at the same price? How about anyone else who bought from us? Jeff? Tractor pictured has repainted rims and nothing else painted. Nothing. Yours, I think, Hank.
I'm done. Enjoy. Peace to all.
