Buying Advice Yanmar YM186d

[mbrogden]

Hi all

Im viewing yanmar ym186d this weekend, and all being well I will be buying.
From pictures, the tyres look ok, and is in a generally tidy condition.
has 900 ish hours (may be round the clock)
had a major service/overhaul 2 years ago including radiator (their word)

price 2250, which is just over my budget.

Is there any reviews on this tractor, is the price fair?

That model Yanmar is on my short list for my favorite compact of all time. A real classic. I lusted over them back when they came out and even still have most of the original sale literature. If it runs at all welll, the price is not only fair, it is exceptionally good.

Frankly if that one were closer to me it would already be gone. I encourage you to go down the page to the Vintage Yanmar Forum on this TBN site you will find several owners who are currently using that model tractor and all you'll ever want to know about them.
