When I bought mine, I had no idea that deal would ever collapse. It's been a good tractor for me. No issues during 350ish hours. A few years ago, when I did need s shut off solenoid, I found the local Yanmar dealer wanted nothing to do with it. The dealer I had originally bought it from was a long time mower/small equipment dealer and was very well known and thought of. I bought my tractor and two years later, the dealership was gone... I never planned to keep it so long but my work kept me out of the country for several years so it didn't get used much for a few years. I do want a new tractor but that is due more to wanting some of the other features being offered on todays models. I'll probably keep this one and just add another tractor. They did indeed come up with a good color combination for them. Good looking and tough little tractors indeed.Nice tractor! I see a fair number of the yellow and black Yanmars around here, and I really like them. The dealer is about 5-10 minutes away, and picked up Yanmar after the Cub Cadet deal folded. I'll be seeing Yanmar tractors for years to come, but the black and yellow was unique.
