Here is a video on Youtube :

YANMAR JD-5100R

This John Deere is sold in Asia by the Yanmar-Deere dealers.
Maybe it is made by Yanmar..
Who knows ?

My 4105 has a yanmar engine I think all the 3000 series do

A few years ago I was looking at tractors at my local JD dealer. The salesman said that the tractors were JD with Yanmar engines. Is that true, or are they really rebadged Yanmars? Is Yanmar building JD designed tractors, or is JD selling green Yanmar designed tractors? I suppose JD could be just buying engines, as he said.
Anyone know??

I believe it's just the engines. This is in spite of the fact that a Kubota and Massey dealer both said the JD tractors are re-badged Yanmars...I don't buy it.

I believe the 10xxR & 30xxE machines were designed & are built in Georgia using imported Yanmar engines. Got a nephew who works there as part of the design crew.

That's interesting.
Recently, I watched a show on RFD TV put on by JD. They were talking about the 5E series. The JD guy mentioned that the 5E engine came from their factory in India. I thought the entire machine was built there. Apparently not.

I thought the whole 2000 series were yamnar. I know for sure the 2720 is and the 3005 are yanmar.

Not doubting your word, just wondering how you know for sure??
Where did your info come from?

Just ran across this;

Yanmar began manufacturing the compact tractors for John Deere. By 1986 Yanmar had shipped over 100,000 tractors to John Deere alone. By 1989, It is believed that Yanmar's partnership with John Deere, combined with Yanmar's distaste for America's litigious society, prompted the company to stop selling tractors in the US. Yanmar continued to build many of the compact tractors for John Deere up until around 2004 or so (exact date not known). So are Deere tractors the same as Yanmar tractors? No. While some models may share a few parts, most of the parts will not interchange. Deere did not want an identical "clone".

That info came from YMowners.com who makes these Yanmar tractors

Someone posted a email from deere saying the 2000 series were made by Yanmar. The JD 3005 is the same as the yanmar EX2900 and the 2720 is the same as the yanmar SX3100.
