Buying Advice Yanmar 485

LCI has been LCI for several years, located on Interstate 20 at Wills Point, VN Tractors is located in Mesquite TX on interstate 30. I don't think they are connected other that their tractors may come from the same place in Vietnam.

LCI probably gets their tractors from VN, (Vina), Tractors in Vietnam. VN has been exporting tractors to the US since 1998, their Texas facility was opened in 2002, LCI opened in 1999.

How big a food plot you planting? That is a huge tractor it seems for that, I plant 3-4 acre food plots with a YM2001 23HP tractor and have no issues...

Either way as already mentioned, if Danny is questioning parts I think I would buy a different model as well even if you decide to buy a Vietnam Rebuild.

There are other sources on here to buy an original low hour Yanmar, bruce1966us has/had? a YM4500 (45HP) at a good price, that thread isn't to old so you should be able to find it.
