Sie la vie!! if that is how you spell it. Let's see that means in about 20 years we should start seeing them over here huh?
I actually bought it from a dealer in Germany. That is directly importing them. I talked to several dealers in Poland that were buying them in France and selling them here, but they did not have and said that they could not get a 1510D like I wanted. So I started looking in the internet and found this one in Germany. Since I knew that the dealers here were importing from France, I checked out France sites, but since I do not read french it is a bit difficult.
Right now I am stuck as i cannot find the linkage for the 3pt it is very frustrating. I cannot find the link pins cat one or any linkage parts. If I had the ends I would make the links myself. Well a top link would be hard. They have the complete setup where I bought my tractor and I may end up having them ship it to me. Do you have a source for such things there?

I talked to a rep for Cub Cadet at a garden show a while back. They will be selling a tractor with Cub Cadet over a Yanmar label. He said by 08 they would have a line from 20 to 50 hp. They will be yellow.

Mike,
I guess your tractor is rated around 15 HP. If I don't mistake such models(less than 17 HP) are (were) equipped in Japan with a two point linkage. Models over 17 HP come with a three point linkage.
(I hope our friends dealers will correct me if I am telling something wrong !)
It means that you have to modify the linkage of your tractor.
Some firms sell adaptation sets for these tractors like this one in Belgium :
Manuels, pièces de rechange, pièces détachées pour tracteurs KUBOTA, ISEKI, spare parts, Ersatzteile
But I don't know if they will ship to Poland.
Last year I was in the shop of the french dealer selling to other dealers in Poland and I saw a beautiful 22 HP Kubota (new japanese model) with only 10 hours on the meter ready to sell to Poland. It had a bad bump on the front hood but all the mechanics including engine was perfect. (Look at the picture down to see how it looked like - in fact it was a much later model than this one)
They said me that it was too expensive to repare the hood in France so they prefered to ship it to Poland where reparation will be less expensive.
They sold it 5000 euro to the Poland dealer.

Kayssupply,
Very interesting ! Does it mean Yanmar will be back to US soon ?
What kind of engine has got a Cub Cadet tractor (we don't have this brand in France) ?
Phil
This is info that is several months old. Yanmar and MTD, the parent of Cub, formed a new company to distribute compacts built by Yanmar and marketed as Cub by Yanmar. The trade name "C.U.T. Supply Company LLC" is registered in Ohio, as a Delaware corporation. It likely means absolutely nothing new for the grey market.
Yanmar never left the US....they simply quit selling compact tractors here. As a business entity they still won't be selling compact tractors here.
I'm still wondering why they chose Cub, whose once solid reputation has declined steadily and rapidly in the tractor market over the last decade, as a marketing partner.

If memory serves me right, the posted pics looks a lot like the T-80 crawler models they are selling here on the West coast. Local JD dealer is dealer for these models and had/sold 4 or so of them last fall.
Will be interesting to see what happens locally as just down the street from the JD dealer is the local IH/Case dealer who has been a Cub dealer since Cub was part of IH. They also have a large sign saing they are a authorized Yanmar dealer. Never seen anything from Yanmar and seeing fewer Cubs in stock in last couple yrs.

Phil,
Thanks for the link. I checked there and they have a kit for Kubota that would probably work. How much VAT is there in Belgium? I do not know if they would ship to Poland yet, but with a credit card it should work.
I wanted the 1510D because it is the small tractor almost identical size to the 1301 and 1401, but with the extra power and powershift transmission. I do not have a large area to work so that is enough. My wife already laughs that I till her garden with a tractor, but she likes the result. I have the 2 point Yanmar tiller, which I have found to be excellent, if somewhat harder to connect and disconnect than the 3 pt stuff.
Yes labor here tends to still be less expensive, but that is changing--the better workers are going West to get better pay.
Did you get the tach cable fixed? Did yours break next tot he engine?
Do you know of any other companies selling 3 point kits in the EU? I saw one in England, but that seems pretty far. I need to check the price though. Sure seems like someone would carry these kinds of parts here.
