Yanmar YT235C. Good deal or pass?

[Gypsyman]

I would be purchasing it to keep and adding the correct YL310 loader. If it seems to be a decent tractor I would probably let my older cabbed B3030 go.

Man, that is a smokin deal for a 35hp HST cab tractor. A 5ft rotary cutter is perfect for the width of that tractor. It's about the same size as a Kubota standard L tractor but is more deluxe. Yanmar builds some of the best engines and products out there. Go get that tractor, get a loader for it and don't look back. Amazing deal!

To be honest the whole thing feels kind of weird but she contacted me and she set the price. I've asked her repeatedly if she would prefer to sell it for more through normal channels and she has declined everytime. I even offered to sell it for her so that she wouldn't have to deal with potential buyers. Again she declined. She just want's it paid off and gone.

I'm heading over at 9:30 tomorrow morning to see it first hand. I'll report back. I'll start a thread in the Yanmar forum if I end up bringing it home.

Nice. I'd go for it. Yanmar has an excellent reputation. We've had several and followed them for years.

I paid $2500+ for my new YRC 60 brush hog in 2021

That is a very good deal for what you're planning to do with it. go get it and don't feel bad about. Actually, she probably wouldn't have a hard time selling it.

If she was in Ohio she could sell it, because I would buy it for that money and put a loader on it.

Don't forget a bill of sale to cover your butt just in case.

That machine deserves a nice home where it will be cared for and appreciated.

Just got back from looking at the tractor. For all intents and purposes it is a new tractor. Dash shows just 4.1 hours. Interior still smells new. Mower has never cut a blade of grass.

There's a micro scratch across the hood that will easily buff out. Probably from metal grommets on the tarp when it was covered and uncovered. Front wheels have a small amount of surface rust from her rescue dogs peeing on them. If I can find a color match that's an easy fix. The left front tire was down when I got there. She thought it was just sunken into the dirt. No sidewall damage so no worries there. That's it. All minor things. Yes, it will be used hard but I like to keep things in the best condition that I can for as long as possible. Other than needing a good bath due to being parked outside in the Florida humidity I can't find anything wrong with it.

She was so upset when she saw the tiny scratch and flat tire that she dropped the price another $500. I told here that was absolutely unnecessary but she insisted and would take no for an answer. Final price as it sits is $13,5

She's going to pay it off and I can go pay for it and load it out as soon as she has the title in hand. Looks like another one is coming to live with me.

One less burden for her to worry over, and best of good luck to you.
