ODD YANMARS

[mark777]

Just thought I would pass this along....

As with any manufacturer there are some models that just don't do well. They may very well be the "Edsels" of tractors.

Really too bad as they are very nice looking tractors.

The models F395, F255 and F415 are Yanmar grey models that are currently being imported and dealers are finding it very difficult to obtain any items from simple maintenance to major parts. They may be manufactured as a co-op by Kukje and Yanmar.

Thanks for the info Mark, it seems that you have to know what to look for in those grey yanmars or you could get burnt.

Hey Durwood,

Yes, correct. There must have been several recently imported here as many dealers are getting requests for manuals, filters, and some head gaskets, gears and hydraulic pumps....

They appear to be a Branson knock-off except painted green and with Yanmar badges. There are only a few models that I am aware of that just have no support, and now I have been informed to add the previously posted models to my list.

You mean all of them are painted green? At least they would be easy to spot if that is true.

Yep,

Complete green exterior with white wheels and grille....not my favorite color. I will check with my brother and see what type of photo resizer software he has and try to post pictures a little later. And yeah, I am still using his PC when I check in each day.
