Thanks Rock. Hopefully the next pics of it won’t be so shiny

Haven't bought it but let's just say my interest is peaked. I have watched FB for a YM359 I could pay cash for, for a while. Finally, I found one but it looks like a transformer that lost to a Decepticon and pushed off a cliff. A rental tractor but it was serviced by the company that sells the tractor, a Yanmar dealer/rental. Which is where I bought the SA425.

Thoughts on buying a rental unit? I believe it has well more than half its useful life left in it. The price is about half of a new one.

Probably a little biased but I don't think a better tractor in this size can be bought.

I'm not saying it isn't agood buy. But have you ever heard the saying, "It looks like it was worked like a rented mule?"

LOL, I have and agree. It does look that way. I think the mule has a lot of life left in it though. It's a Yanmar that has been properly serviced.

I want if for primarily bushhogging and it is a perfect bushhog tractor. With the iHMT tranny and everything. I could drive into a patch of scrub and not worry about scratching it.

Looks like mostly cosmetic damage. Is it mainly just a missing grill? That sure whouldn't affect the use of it.

I bought a rental tractor. It was 5 yrs old. Had 1050 hrs on it and looked like it had been in a demolition derby, dents and scrapes all over it. I ran it for 14 yrs replacing only the starter and fuel transfer pump. Rebuilt one cylinder. It was a good buy.

Not sure. I know a guy who works at the place selling it. A very good man who would shoot straight with me. If I get serious about buying it, he will be my first call.

I'm just trying to decide if now is the right time or not. My retirement plan is to do tractor work, but I'm not planning to retire for a while. I have a tractor and do tractor work but only on a small scale.

Just remember, the FIRST half is always the BEST half!!

Personally, I'd not buy the second half...
