Buying Advice Yanmar Refurbished tractor

[oldspark]

So what model Yanmar would be a good choice in the 40 to 50 HP range, I know I will not have the options that a newer tractor (trans.) but are these smooth shifting with the tranny they have. I was hoping to get a good deal with attchments so I can save some money over one of the other brands. I can get a quote with the attchments so hoping I can same some money and get a good basic tractor. They look like a nice unit. I am talking to a place that reconditions them here in the states. Best tractor .com is the name of the place I am talking to, anyone deal with them before?

UM not much! At least from Yanmar. They mostly are under about 40HP. I think ernie had a huge YM4400 or something? That tractor that Cardoc has in the 40 something Turbo engine is about the largest yanmar that is sold here in the US. There are newer FX series tractors that are not yet 30 years old that may be in that size, but id say 90% of these yanmars are 33HP engines or smaller.

Like clemson said most of the units will be less than 40 hp but dont let that discourage you the way these are geared hp isnt as big a deal as you think. Most 6' pto attachments and some pretty big generators can be run with a 30 something hp tractor.

Weight is more a factor on Yanmars than anything IMHO they are all engine and gears and not much chassis for weight anyway you will probably never run out of power but traction that is lacking.

The powershift is nice and 4wd is real useable and needed like I mentioned about traction. These are the bigger ones 3110D,3220D,3810D,4220D,336D there may be others but that is my knowledge there these are all powershift btw.

A JD 1050 4wd is similar to a 3810D (made by Yanmar for JD ) except its a gear trans not a powershift there may have been an PS option but I am not sure most I have seen are gear trans.

I emailed Besttractor about a 1610D one time and they never replied back if that tells you anything you can use. good luck

I have heard on here that Waye sells Fredericks tractors? I guess it really dont matter cause unless he does something special for you he no longer sells or repairs Yanmars, he just sells parts. At least thats what some have said as well as me reading his site.

Ernie on the other hand from Ernies imports sells unmolested out of the container Yanmars. May put new seats or paint o hood or something as well as fluid changes but i think that us usually the extent of most of his work as he buys low hour excellent condition tractors, of couse they will cost you!

Clem..

Assembling all the tractors out of pieces put in the container ...time = $$$

Not to mention washing and rubbing out the paint ... time =$$$$

Clem you made it sound like I give my tractors a bath, paint their nails, and clean their ears, while I just collect big money.

Nobody is getting rich.

I think you owe us a public apology sir.

oldspark: There may be Yanmars with 40 to 50 HP but I have not seen them in my area. Generally the highest HP I have seen here in Ohio is the 336d and that is around 33 HP gross I think and about 27 at the PTO as I recall. It will do a fair amount of work but not as much as another 45 HP tractor I have.
