YT359c Dealer states insurance from Yanmar will be $10,000.

I'm calling and doing quotes online; Progressive returned with $35 monthly.

See if your regular agent can find something with Inland Marine or its survivor company. Ask an agent that writes farm policies, and all should. My own two cents is to be wary of some companies big in the consumer auto market. Read the fine print before you buy and look on-line for unhappy and happy customers.

I took a screenshot of the quote from my phone and edited most of it. I would hardly believe someone if they told me $10,000 insurance package.

WOW!

I found a dealer with a YT359c, cab, loader, backhoe, and third function. The dealer quoted me the price on the phone, and I filled out the Yanmar link, which was approved. The dealer sent the quote right before 5:00 p.m., which was $10,000 over the discussed price. For my much more expensive 4075r from JD, the insurance was only $1800. The quoted insurance is more than double what Yanmar lists per $1000 on their website. It was too late to call my insurance provider, but I was interested to see if others had seen similar quotes.

Check out the LS tractors. 60-65% the price of a deere or bobcat. yanmar engines.

I looked at LS, which has excellent lift capacities and many specials. But I have only one close dealer; the distance is almost 1 1/2 hours through the mountains. They have very few LS tractors, and Mahindra is the bulk of the inventory.

I went and picked up the tractor yesterday, and I just unloaded it. The gooseneck arrived late Friday. It made the 8+ hour trip an enjoyable drive. It's night and day difference and felt fine on 55mph two-lane roads through the mountains. JD 4075r spacers are a perfect fit as well. The dealer did the back, and I will do the fronts shortly. I did the load test, used 1800rpms, and once curled back, it will lift the stack of pellets far higher than needed.

Nice tractor!

Why did you opt for spacers that could void the axle warranty and not utilize the two-piece wheel to change the width? You can get quite a bit of extra width out of changing the center pan and putting the outer wheel on the outside.

I spoke directly with Yanmar, and they were fine with spacers up to 4 inches. I also verified with the dealer. I asked the dealer to flip them, but he stated it would not make much difference. The last few tractors could not be flipped, so I'm unsure how much width you can get. Since they are filled, I cannot test them myself, and these were just leftover spacers from my 4075r, as they could not be flipped.

Boy, your new Yanmar sure looks a lot different from my 1981 YM2310! Good looking machine though. Probably still be running in 2065.

I sure hope it's better than the last two tractors.
