I have the opportunity to buy a Yanmar YM2200, 25 horse, 2x4 that has been reconditioned in Japan. No hours since the reconditioning. No front loader or other toys included. I'm not a tractor guy and am not familiar with any brands. What would market price for this unit be? Any good or bad experiences with YM2200, reconditioned or not?
Thanks for any good advice!

Sometimes saving money is really not saving money.
Sometimes reconditioned means a new coat of paint.
Sometimes things turn into modified stationary money pits.
Usually, that is bad if it is a tractor and you want to do some work.
New, completely equipped tractors with three year warranties can be obtained for $250 a month.
$250 is about what it costs to rent almost anything from the rental yard for a day.
I guess you know where I am going next.
If the tractor is a hobby and you don't mind several weeks of down time at random, unplanned, intervals, maybe this will work.
But if you can't stand watching the grass grow up to your waist or your wife needs the garden tilled 'cause its time to plant, or (God forbid) there is two feet of snow on the driveway and a three foot berm left by the city plow at the end and everybody has to get to work or school.........
It is like owning a 49 DeSoto or a 56 Studebaker. It would be a lot of fun, but it is not the thing you depend upon.

I wouldn't recommend it .Most of the reconditioned tractors are usually the poorest quality tractors with a nice paint job. The YM2200 is an early 1970's tractor with poor parts availability. I'd only recommend buying one if it was in real good original condition. ....

I agree with the others here. You would probably do well to pass on this deal. How much are they asking for it? The only info. I could find was on a 1982/83 YM220 which is worth maybe $2000 at best in great shape. Not sure if this is the same tractor as the YM 2200. ....
