New to Yanmar

[California]

For those of us that are near a quality dealer, then its a different ballgame. Most Yanmar owners don't have that option.

Speaking just for myself, I don't seem to need a local dealer. Yanmar chose maintenance parts, fluids & filters etc, and also some wear parts (tires, alternator, regulator, ThermoStart module) that are common on many brands all over the world, so they will be available for years.

There is also an active market in replica parts, for example muffler, radiator, 3-point components, that unique air filter etc, that seem to be decent quality comparable to NAPA car parts. The present ROPS are built by the same US manufacturer who built for YanmarUSA 30 years ago.

To find this stuff you need the expertise that traditionally existed only at dealers but now a simple Google search will reveal dealers with broad parts stocks, and also the interchanges to other brands like Nissan and Perkins, and the tire manufacturers. These aren't orphans.

Not sure how far you'd like to go to find a dealer, but Fredricks Equipment in Harselle, Al. has a large selection of Yanmars and great parts and technical support. They're located north of Birmingham off of I-65. I believe their web site is Yanmar Tractors -- Parts -- Sales -- Service. I didn't buy my F20 from them but have stopped there passing through and purchased a ROPS unit and other parts.

Thanks for the welcome, and I think there are more tractors not shown in the picture. When I stopped by there was a line of tractors in the tree line shown in the top of the pic. Whenever I travel to Florida from Arkansas I try and go by if I need anything for my tractor and they've always been real helpful.
