No one forced you buy it from Fredricks. From the dealings I've had with them . Tom is a 1 st class businessman

Didn't know it till I got it home. This is a pic.of what I had to do to the PTO shaft to make it work.Had to cut both ends of the shaft just to make it Barely Fit. I thought a YM2000 and RS1400 would be fairly well known and comonly used :ashamed: Took them over a week to send me another just over in Ga. that is why I had Rig it. I was getting quite a few parts so I didn't notice the wheels were cut off of it Extremely low on oil so I decided to check the bearing grease and about 2 cup fulls of water poured out Non. dr. side. No I was not happy and yes mostly my bad for Not thoroughly checking it out. How could I forget went to use it again and the Pins fell out of the replacement shaft also

That's what I thought of you when you first started posting!

Who is this ProDaddy anyways. He has been a member on here for 5 yrs. and has made 60 posts or 1 a month an now all the sudden he has all the answers. Never even heard of him until he wanted the the dirt on a UTDA Dealer. Things sure must be slow with not much going on Esp. for this time of the year. Dang Buyer Beware!

Thanks again everyone.

I haven't been able to reply for the past few days, but have been doing a good deal of thinking. I think I have pretty much narrowed down what tractor I want. I'll most likely end up with a YM1601D up to YM2000D depending upon what I find and what I can get it for. I definitely want 4x4. This may sound silly, but I need to be able to drive the tractor into a 6'8" door opening, so ROPS and exhaust height is a big factor for me too. I can't buy anything taller than that. It's gotta fit throught the door. Now, I need to find out where to buy.

Unless something unforeseen happens, I WILL be buying a tractor within the next few months (perhaps weeks) and as I said earlier, I don't mind driving or having it shipped if the price is right. I have since spoke to Steve at Spalding and he seems to be a good guy, but at the time I spoke to him, he only had seven tractors in stock. I have also been looking at Tullahoma's site, they seem to have a good selection and a pretty good price, but I would need to add an over-run clutch. I would also check into a ROPS. My land is just to hilly not to have it and my son will probably drive the tractor too.

To be honest, the parts warranty is of value to me, but not so much the labor. Spalding is probably the closest dealer to me at 80 miles. I can't see myself driving the tractor in for warranty work unless something really major happens. However, it is a possibility for something REALLY bad.

After reading the "Reputable Dealer" thread, I have one important question. I don't ask this to get someone stirred up, step on someone's toes or ask anything too personal. What would be a fair out the door price on say a YM1601D? I hope this isn't overstepping the boundaries any since I do see a lot of dealers on here.

Oh, one more thing and I'm sure it's not this way in every state. If someone's buys a tractor from an out of state dealer and then they move it to Georgia, you are supposed to report and pay the Georgia sales tax, right?

You are going to get a ton of mixed information regarding what a 1601D is worth, as the others have simply stated its worth what someone will give, even though that can't be the end all solution because there is a "value" on every tangible item on earth.

Let me ask you this, why do you choose to buy a Yanmar? to save money? from reviews? have you priced used kubota's or deere's in your area?

I am looking at Yanmar for their supposed value and due to the fact that I know a few people that own or have owned them. They all are pleased with them. I am also interested in them because of their size compared to power. I don't need a big tractor, but I do want a strong one.

I have not priced many Kubota's or JD's. It seems most for sale in my area are too large for me. However, if the right one were to come along........

As a side note, I would also consider Iseki, Mitsubishi or any other brand if parts were available.
