YANMAR RETURNS TO THE U.S.

[mark777]

So does Yanmar still make tractors for JD?



No

Kenmack, are you sure? I only asked as I just returned from the Deere dealer moments ago, picking up a part for a friend...and I looked at a brand new 790.
I didn't have time to investigate (open hood) but it sure didn't look like an '06 as there was protective plastic film covering the hood, fenders and seat...

The CBL40 and the 110 are twins.
Just check out the specs, the ones that are different are wording or measurement differences.

AFAIK the 790 and the 990 are still built completely by Yanmar.
A dealer told me this, but that was a year or so ago.

Yanmar does still build for Deere, although Deere is trending away from Yanmar and more towads their engine plant in Mexico. They had an exclusive agreement with Yanmar for several years, that expired recently.

Mark , this is what I'am told by the local deere dealer . They said that the contract is up & yanmar no longer builds their engines. They may still have a few that are left & when they run out there will be no more yanmar engines in deere

The John Deere 790, 990, 2320, 2520, and 2305 are still built by Yanmar.

Here is the big question though: who will be building the green tractors now? The local Case/IH dealer was worried it would be Kubota but that does not appear to be the case. Anybody know the answer to that?

Look at who has been making them. Most of their compact line has not been Yanmar manufactured in recent years. Some units had components from various mfrs.

Its not a rumor, I spoke with a friend who has a cub dealership and he confirmed it.
Yanmar & cub signed a contract, he said by summer we will see tractors.

I borrowed this off a Cub Cadet board. It was picked up yesterday at a farm show.

I just went to a Home and Garden show in St Louis. The Cub Cadet Rep was there. He was surprised I knew about the Yanmar deal. He said the word from his higher ups was that a 30 hp Hydro would be here this summer. It will 08 before a full line , up to 80hp , arrives . The badge will be like the hat, Cub Cadet over Yanmar.
