Well, something must be solved. The RCO site says they have new Yanmars arriving. Lots of people got this one wrong.

i think RCO could of worked something out. may be that they dissaociate with the greys and there sellin the new yanmars. did you see winston's post earlier this week about RCO being a new dealer for yanmars? Not so sure this is something solved other than 4 them? maybe biz was off or they saw an opportunity to do this or they figured it easier to still sell yanmars not worry bout legal mess and selll a new tractor made by same company probly for just a few more thousand $$ than the recons?

Far as I am concerned and my experience with those people is they are better suited to simple retail sales anyway than added value ventures. my .002

Just reread this! It reads horrible. But i was on a mobile phone (not a smart phone) while i was deer hunting with deer around me!!

Now you mention it Clemson it sounds we are thinking along the same lines. I just let my computer spel check me haha! My iPhone is constantly changing my texts around pizzes me off to no end you couldn't blame it on that this time but I always do haha!

The court docket indicates the District Court entered both a scheduling order and a mediation order in the case on October 5, 2012. Doesn't appear settled, IMO.

Any news? Anyone got some insider info or back channel contacts?
Will that supreme court case in reference to textbooks effect all products made overseas and sold here?

There are plenty of dealers that fequent this site. I dont think they just have not noticed this thread that is hovering around the top of the board for months now. I also dont think is coincidence that none of them have commented on it, all while commenting on other threads.

Im pretty sure there advised to keep quiet on the issue. Or if they have any sense there doing so on there own.

Lawsuits never turn out well for anybody its a messy way to make a point and spend a lot of money on both sides and it leaves a lasting mutual hatred so there wont be any good news ever just news. my .002

After receiving some updated information (thanks!) I researched across all regions and got the following current list of importers being sued by Yanmar, nationwide, on grounds of Intellectual Property/Trademark.

Intellectual Property Cases filed matching "Yanmar" (note there are two pages, 21 suits presently).

 

[careyo63]

Every Rep. dealer in my area seems to be listed. Some Im actually surprised that are on there and others I'm not.

 

[phatgemi]

I would say that Yanmar is attempting to scare out as many as possible. Some will be offered "legitimate dealership" status to settle and forget they ever saw a grey tractor. Very tempting to a dealer. If offered a chance to be a new dealer of new yanmars!!!!! Especially if yanmar is seriously going to be entering the us market for the long haul. I hope us "greys" can survive!!!!!!

 

[winston1]

Did I miss it or is Fredricks not listed? If not I would wonder why not? I am hard headed enough that if Yanmar were to win all these suits and cause an end to the parts supply for these greys I would never never never buy another of their products. Do they not realize the impact this could have on no telling how many grey owners? Rant rant rant!

I didn't see any of the UTDA dealers listed on that website.

 

[clemsonfor]

How many UTDA dealers are there still? 2? I think Fredricks is one and Spalding. I think spalding is on the list??

 

[kenmac]

I think spalding is on the list??

what list ? I don't see them on the lawsuit list if, that's what your talking about. Don't know for how long,but RCO is listed as UTDA member

Best I can tell RCO has completely dis associated themselves from the greys. Check their sight out.

How would Hoye fit into that. They don't sell tractors. Doesn't seem reasonable UTDA would apply to them. Just asking.

Yep, Doesn't mention of the old ym's or YM parts
