Yanmar in Ontario

frwinks · Mar 7, 2007

Hi, I've been lurking around, researching this brand (and others) for a few days now. I found a couple of clean, well priced units in NJ, and PA. Unfortunately I can't find a local dealer/retailer in Ontario and am a little hesitant on purchasing a machine without (somewhat local) support

Deos anyone know if there is an outlet in Ontario or Quebec?

I send alot of parts, etc. to Ontario, even though I am located in PA.
What model Yanmar are you looking for? Gary J.

thanks for the reply

I found a YM265D in NJ and YM2020D in PA. The guy in PA doesn't have a clue what he's selling though (the machine came in on tradein).
Let me know if you have any machines available.

Huh? (Or should that be Eh??

)

I looked at kennystractor.com and it seems to be just a referral site that probably earns a penny every time someone clicks one of the links.

I clicked on 'Used Tractors' and a couple more clicks searched 'Used Tractors' on ebay. The first hit was 'Cars Tractor Tipping Game Pixar Disney - gently used.'

I found this locally, but look at that loader

is this standard equipment

The machine itself has ID label AF-30s?? tried doing a search on the model and came up with nothing

Looks like a fairly new tractor. Haven't seen a loader designed like that. As far out in front it is to the bucket, I'd be very concerned about weight transfer on to the front axle and tires. From looking at the pic I'd guess for every pound in the bucket the front axle/tires will see 3#. Wouldn't be too surprised if the front end isn't overloaded with nothing in the bucket. That is a LOT of weight hanging far out in front. You could also find manervering with the bucket out so far could become a real issue.

Have done the math on my setup and my rig sees 2# on the front axle for every # in the bucket and it doesn't stick out as far as the one in the pic looks.

Do your homework.
