Think through all your options. You may want to take a skeptical look at RCO from a few recent posts here they seem to be no better than any of the VN sellers. I forget the thread title, but something about a dealer in the midwest or west or just dealer in general. Anyway Car Doc, a member here bought from them and was into the head for a teardown rebuild 1 yr later. The owner pretty much shrugged him off and would not help, not even sure if it was in the parts warrenty period or not? Then another member chimed in on the same thread and said he had a similar experience.

Who was it that sold the Yanmar to that guy up at high altitude in Colorado? I think it was from Texas.
The new owner posted that the delivery guy worked an hour to get it off the trailer. I'm not sure they ever got the engine started.
I think he said the one shipped wasn't the one he had picked out.
The buyer never could start his "Factory Reconditioned" shiny new Yanmar without extraordinary effort. He bought a compression tester and adapter, and found the compression way below spec. He then made fairly significant repairs which still didn't make it usable at his altitude. I saw that model tractor ('needs repair'), many miscellaneous test tools, and parts, injectors etc all on Ebay in that region; I'm pretty sure from this guy after he gave up.
As I recall, the seller ignored his calls and wouldn't return his messages while all this was going on. When he eventually spoke with an owner after he had done many repairs, the best he was offered was "ship it back [1000 miles?] for repair, you pay shipping both ways" but no reimbursement for what he spent attempting to make it meet spec.
Whoever that seller was, didn't exactly cover himself with glory.
This is all from memory. Does anyone have a more accurate recollection of that drama?
