UTDA -
Used Tractor Dealers Association is a not-for-profit organization with a goal of establishing standards for marketing used Japanese compact tractors--sometimes known as "grey market". The initial focus is safety enhancement to make these used tractors a safer, and thus more attractive, option for the consumer. The secondary focus is on marketing, and will involve establishing a wider base of service and parts support, again contributing to these tractors being a better value for the consumer.

UTDA.net -- Used Tractor Dealers Association > Home

This was the Tom Fredrick's dream, having a strong and reliable united dealer network of Gray Market machines, all being safe for people to expect like domestic machines.

The Advantages for the Consumer​

• You can shop any UTDA member knowing these standards are in place.
• You know that there is a nationwide association of dealers prepared to support your machine.
• You know that your dealer has access to the largest organized parts and service network for these tractors in the U.S.
• You know that your dealer cares enough about his/her customers to belong to a professional trade organization with a confirmed commitment to safety and service standards for their used tractors.

The S.A.F.E. Program for Yanmar Manufactured Grey Market Tractors​

Safety Aftermarket Facilitation and Enhancement

The S.A.F.E. Program for grey market tractors manufactured by Yanmar, whether labeled as "Yanmar" or "Zennoh", is intended to retro-fit these tractors with certain safety devices that are available today to make them a better option for you, the consumer.
The following are requirements for UTDA certification of a Yanmar grey market tractor or a Zennoh tractor manufactured by Yanmar.

- ROPS, conforming to OSHA standard 1928.52, including properly installed seat belt.

- Clutch safety switch to prevent starter engagement without the clutch being depressed.

- Overrunning clutch on the tractor

- PTO shield, of sturdy gauge metal, which covers top and both sides of factory PTO shaft to at least the length of that shaft from the rear of the tractor

- Decals, in English, conforming with the UTDA decal standards, including the certification decal which designates that the above standards have been met

- English language operation manual with each tractor. This may be any version approved by the Board.

Bret,

I almost forgot!
My first Yanmar was a YM2000. I purchased it from RCO Tractor in Texas. It was Vietnamese Reconditioned. The radiator ended up being somewhat stopped up on the inside. I had to take the radiator to the shop and have it rodded out. RCO took care of it.

My first YM2500 came from Franklinton, Louisiana. There was a man there selling tractors for Fredricks. I can’t think of his name or the dealership name, but he was in an old shopping mall strip in town.

November 1998 - January 2005 (6 years 3 months)

The owner, Jay Brown founded the YTOG back in 1999.
This is the oldest known Yanmar Tractors Owners Group on the web.
Records do indicate there was a GeoCities group prior, Jay was a part of the group until Yahoo acquired them.

From the YTOG history,
Back in 1999 Jay Brown, owner of Affordable Equipment, Inc. in Easley, SC formed our group on Yahoo. He sold gray market Yanmar tractors and other gray market vehicle imports from Asia. When the big names in the Ag industry started to clamp down on these gray market dealers, it seems Affordable Equipment, Inc. and affordableequipment.com website disappeared. Thus, so did Jay Brown from our group.
