I bought the tractor used out of the Detroit area and had it shipped to me in Western Washington. It had a hard life before me. I suspect that it lived outside or in an open sided shed. I ended up replacing some control linkages, the tail lights, and the fender assembly. The parts were surprisingly inexpensive.
I've used it to build a narrow road/path around out very steep 2.5 acres using a 4' box blade and a 5' front blade. One has to be very careful when cutting the trail across a side hill, but it did the job very well. Probably my only complaint is that at times I wish the front hitch that is used both by the front blade and the snow thrower would lift a little higher, but the lift height is comparable to similar equipment on other tractors.
I also have the usual draw bar for the 3-pt and a Rankin post hole digger with a 9" auger. It's great, but could use a down pressure kit. I will be getting the rear hydraulic setup from a 2500 so I can add that on. I'm not sure how I'll setup the control valve for that yet.
Overall, I am very happy with this tractor. Probably the only thing I would have Yanmar change in the basic design is to make the fender metal instead of plastic, but the plastic one is pretty darned tough.
