Yanmar 2220D tractor,,,,Is it a "grey Market" model or a US model?

Howdy Murphy1244....would you happen to know if the 2220D Yanmar tractor is a grey market one or one that was intended for the US? Also, if it is a grey market one should I be concerned about parts being available? Thanks so much. Rick F.

The 2220 is a grey market tractor. You can see what parts are readily available at Yanmar Tractor Parts - Shop Online .

Greys are identified by the 4 digit model numbers, the US/Euro models are 3 digit.

Thanks so much for the info. Should I be leery of purchasing a YM2220D tractor because of reliability and parts availability? Thanking you in advance, Rick F.

The grey tractors are made I. The very same factory as the old us models?? They are just as reliable as the American sisters? Parts for that tractor can be purchase. From Frederick's and hour. Parts that are no longer made such as gears and housing's can usually be found used if u want to put the time and money into it. Don't worry about it. I think 75% of us here are running grey models.
