Yanmar Tractor With Kubota Engine????

I find this very hard to believe. Looks a lot like a Kubota tractor to me.

I'm pretty sure that's a Zen-noh Kubota which, I believe, IS illegal to sell, according to a Kubota lawsuit.

Does the Kubota lawsuit cover their production for Zen-noh too? Since the lawsuit was only in the US, those Zen-noh labels sort of look like those used tractors are not Kubotas. They just have 100% Kubota parts on them.

It does look like Zenoah on hood in the one picture. Maybe just a mistake posting picture..

I'm sure the seller knows exactly what it is, no matter what it says on the hood. That's why he's mis-representing it. Here's an excerpt from an article on the Kubota web site.
"Please be advised that since April 30, 1997, the importation, distribution and sale in the United States of Kubota "gray market" units under 50 PTO horsepower has been prohibited by a General Exclusion Order of the United States International Trade Commission. If you wish to obtain a copy of this Order, please write to our General Counsel:

A lot of importers are getting away with bringing in the Kubotas labeled Zennoh. The person I bought my tractor from was bringing them in left and right. If there is a loophole, people will find it.

Now I understand, I just thought he didn't know what he had

Poor guy probably doesn't know ebay bans sales of gray market Yanmars or he wouldn't have called it a Yanmar. Ebay may pull the listing before it sells.

The Zen-Noh loop hole is a legal loop hole. There is no reason to hide the fact that it is a Zen-Noh.

Here is the e-mail I sent the seller:

This tractor is not a Yanmar. It appears to be a Kubota L1500D or L1501D. You have it priced about $2500 more than it's worth and with the miss matched tires on it, you run the risk of tearing up the front axle. Also it looks like it was refurbished in Vietnam.

 

[YanmarFever]

Its a vietnamese reconditioned kubota

THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!! He has hijacked someone's ebay id who had a 100% positive feedback for selling video tapes. This buyer is registered in a foreign country and is claiming he is in the US. Now, all of a sudden, all he is selling is very expensive equipment. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually bought one of them from that very seller. Darn fine tractor. Once I got it home I removed all the black stickers that covered the Kubota logos. It took me a while to find them all. Once I found pictures of one though I easily located where all the wording and symbols were located and had her fixed up in no time flat.
