YM 2500 Almost Purchase

[cfoxmd]

If everything worked perfectly, everyone would get a tractor for the dealer cost plus the cost of the repairs (assuming they could do the repairs themselves).

My experience is that the first time you do something, you spend more than if you had gone retail (imagine a car repair--buy the parts and the tools, spend 3-4 times the time to do the repair--in the end you spend as much, but you now have the tools and the knowlege for the next time). The second time you save some time and money and by the third, you have hit most of the snafus and have it down.

Importing a used machine from another country will have a steep learning curve. Customs, poor machines, etc. Bet you'd be better buying from a reputable dealer. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I wouldn't.

If I won the lotto (powerball) I would buy lots of things; A truck, a building, a loading dock, a fork lift, a pair of air jacks, a tire changer, a paint booth, a sand blaster, tools, impact wrenches, jack stands, floor jacks, and a 40 foot container of japanese tractors.... Since I have not won the lotto yet... I was lucky enough to afford a ym2210 recon with loader and bush hog. I am very happy with it. I think those vietnamese dudes did a better job of reconditioning it then I could have. I wish it were brand new JD or NH but I think it does most of what those would do......
