Dealer Titan tractors?

[Neat 1500]

Well... asking nicely was a complete fail. Time to turn up the heat I guess.

Turn it up to cremated!

He is an interesting guy to say the least. He acknowledges (in writing) that the content is ours, that he knows it is copyrighted, and that he stole it but he is taking the "you can't make me remove it" stance. It has been a long time since I have met anyone (adult) that was like that. I have no experience with the tractors that he sells or any of his other business decisions but this decision is certainly sketchy.

I'm not really a lawsuit kind of guy but, in this case, I have made an exception and got the pros involved. We will see how it goes.

Titan Tractors is aware of this thread.

If Titan tractors is reading this thread.......you are scum and ought to be embarrassed by your lack of integrity. I sincerely hope potential buyers read these comments and go elsewhere for their tractor needs.

Does Titan have a physical presence anywhere with real tractors to sell? Where?

This sounds like he's selling phantom tractors where you pay full price in advance, never see the tractor before purchase, then wait for it to arrive ...

HAHA!! That's awesome!!

I imagine there will be at least a rewrite. Some one will have to use their Google Fu and figure out what is what on those tractors and what they DO and what they DO NOT have on them as accessories and standard features!!!

They claim to have a show room where you can "inspect them by appointment"?

Now are these the tractors you will actually purchase, like walk in with the money and load it onto your trailer I have no idea, it could be a scenario like you say where you place an order and your tractor arrives at a later date and all they are is a middle man to the person who is painting up these Yanmar/YMR/Mitsubishi tractors or whatever they are???

I didn't spend a lot of time on it but at least one of his 'for sale' tractor pictures is also on aztractorsales.com . So maybe they are just drop shipping them?

Or he stole that picture, too.

Seems to me there is a distributor somewhere selling these privately to small dealers such as AZTractorsales. I spoke to the owner at AZtractorsales a while ago. He was telling me how great the recons are and that they get reconditioned in their warehouse. He gives a 2 week warranty. I found my VN tractor through another small time seller for 3K less.

Love my tractor!

VN Tractors, Mesquite Texas advertises YNM and I wouldn't be surprised if they are the importer and wholesaler for all of the 'reconditioned' Yanmars with YNM trademark. Including Titan.

There are some posts on here about them.

In AZtractorsales slideshow of pictures, I think some of them show 'VN Tractors' location in Texas with a big sign out front.

Was VN Tractors formerly Vina Tractors?

I can tell you they had the same address, 4340 I-30 East.

Stole a picture!!! if that's the case he really must not have any on hand...or order them ever, how hard is it to take a picture of a tractor in your shop or on your yard?

But I thought these Titan Yanmars were labeled as Misubishi? or is it there just painted blue? Heck this is so jacked up and confusing now at this point I need to go back and look at the page again???:confused2:

Edit: ok the blue yanmars must of been another post, I was thinking it was this company too?

 

[kenmac]

it's been some time, so I don't remember all the details.. But, When I contacted yanmar, I was told that the place in texas (don't remember the name) had entered into an agreement with yanmar (because of the suit) and was allowed by yanmar to sell these tractors as a YNM Tractor....This makes me think the place in texas is supplying this guy with tractors

do they remove the name plate on the engine that says yanmar?

I do believe that to be the case. My steering wheel center cap had the yanmar logo ground off. The only yanmar name on the tractor was in the fuel/temp gauge and shifter console.

so Strange. I think the valve cover has the logo too? Maybe not?
