Yanmar YT347 Price - Demo Unit

sloeffle · Feb 15, 2018

A local dealership has a Yanmar YT347 demo unit with around 100 hours that they are selling. From their ad it looks you still get a factory warranty, factory rebates and money off. I looked online and it looks like they are wanting 30k for that tractor. I'd assume that is the price of the tractor before rebates. Someone posted on this forum or another forum that they saw a YT347 with 10 hours for 24k. I'd assume this tractor should be in that range. Any ideas on a decent price ?

Thanks.

I got my tractor a few years back, an had the same hours on it. It was also a demo. Not sure about the yanmar price. Oh an welcome.

I was quoted a $34K net price on a YT347 and offered a $700 discount for a model with <100 hours. Currently there is a "free loader rebate" of ~$6K. If the unit you are looking at gets the ~$6K discount, that would be a great price. Without the rebate, it would be so-so, unless the tractor has more than $1K of optional equipment?

I went and looked at the machine of Friday. It has 180 hours on it. They just performed an oil change and grease job on it. I am not sure if the hydraulic fluid was replaced. It was raining pretty bad so the machine was in a building. The only thing I noticed was some light scratches on the hood. No a big deal IMHO.

It is a pretty good deal from what I am reading. He is offering the machine with a loader for about 15k off of MSRP. I would also get the $500 implement rebate too. The deal also includes loaded rear tires, quick hitch and free delivery. He gave me a price on a new machine and was 5k below another price I got from another dealer. He must want to move some tractors.

The YT347 is one of the nicest tractors on the market in my opinion. If it looks like a good deal I'd jump on it.

Yeah, that is good price, I would jump on it!

I started a thread over in the Buying / Comparison too about whether 3k under new was worth the risk. I ended up pulling the trigger on the used machine. He knocked more money off and threw a bunch of goodies into the deal. He is willing to do the same goodies on a new machine too. I just need to let him know by tomorrow morning.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and posts. I'll post some pics in the Yanmar forum once I have the machine.
