Yanmar 336

[RichZ]

A friend of mine is considering buying a Yanmar 336, with a loader. He's got a few questions:

1. Are parts readily available. Can you get them from a John Deere dealer?
2. He wants to put a 3 ph backhoe on it. Does anyone know if it would work well with a backhoe?
3. What would a reasonable price be?

Thanks!!

Some people consider the 336 one of the best Yanmars ever made. Parts are readily available, but not at John Deere. It will work fine with a backhoe, many were fitted from Yanmar with backhoes, and are real work horses. Lastly price will depend on condition and the area of the country you live in.
