Buying Advice Yanmar YB45 Excavator

[TractorBob1529]

I'm looking to by a used mini excavator. 6,000lb on up, got alot of dirt to move for myself. Found a Yanmar YB45 on Craigslist. Been trying to do research on it with no luck. Can somebody tell me more about this excavator. If anybody got an excavator for sale, let me know too. In Western NC.

That would be a grey market machine, and an older one. I'd probably suggest going a little newer, and if you can find a non-grey machine, you will have less parts issues. There doesn't seem to be too much info on this model. Yet the Vios, the B27/37/50, and others are plentiful and probably a better way to go.

I have a Yanmar B50 I would consider selling. pm me if your interested.

I can recommend a B50. I had one once, great machine and not rare...so parts are OK.

I get all my parts from John Deere, then again I have only ever put 1 roller on it since I have owned it. well besides teeth. I welded deere shanks on the bucket and run thier teeth. I love the machine but don't use it much more than once or twice a year.
