Welcome to the site!! First: where are you located? That'd be a help;there are dealers spread all over the country. How much do you know about Yanmars? Do you need 4wd? It helps with a FEL. I'm sure a bunch of people will chime in once they know where you are.

You probably already know all these but anyway, fluid levels and conditions. Check for excessive blow by. Use both brakes making sure they work properly. Notice freeplay on clutch and make sure it's not off in left field someplace. Check all the lights and instrument panel for working. Drive and check out transmission ranges and all gears. Engage the pto in all ranges making sure it works properly. Observe radiator overflow bottle for bubbles. Use the 3 point lift for proper operation. Notice steering gear and linkage for excessive slack. How does she sound, any abnormal smoke? Ask about the history of the tractor. Good luck to you.
