The Yanmar tractor was founded in Japan in 1912. The company has a long history with small diesel engines. The agricultural equipment division of the company was started in 1961. Yanmar entered into an arrangement with John Deere and began building several utility tractor models in the early 1980’s for John Deere. Yanmar also made their own tractor line and sold them in the United States. Most of the Yanmar tractors made for the United States carried a three digit model number. Models such as the YM135, YM155, YM165, YM180, YM186, YM195, YM220, YM226, YM240, YM330, YM336 and others are the original Yanmar tractors sold in the US. Yanmar and John Deere were both in competition for the small tractor market and since Yanmar made the engines for John Deere, Yanmar was the one to leave the U.S. but still continued making engines for John Deere. Yanmar continued to make tractors for Japan and for Japan’s use only. The “Grey-Market” tractors are those that Yanmar made for Japan, but are now imported into North America for their low cost and quality. The Grey Market tractors have mostly a four digit model number such as, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 2000, 2500, 2610, 3000, 3110, 3220, 3810 and many more. Today, Yanmar is back in the United States as Yanmar USA and they are back with more than just tractors. We are no longer a dealer for the Yanmar tractors, but we do still have some original parts in stock for the older models built in the 1980's.
