i have a b-50 yanmar open bought used for about 15 plus years now. been a good machine just starting to get a little loose now. 5100 hrs. newer tracks, hyd thumb,dozer blade. im a good greaser !
gonna sell it only after maybe sooner ??? i really want a vio 45 or 50 with cab , i want a/c and heat ,hyd thumb,blade angle,quik attach.. i,ve been looking and yes where are all the yanmar people ? i cant find a older unit with low hours to get pre-emmission like i have now . so im leaning for a newer unit like 2016 to 2019. but being a class a mechanic these new diagnostics scare me only because i cant find anyone anyplace to get info on the access to computer ecm,codes,setting,scan tool,software etc. to repair myself!! i refuse to be held hostage to a dealer only situation and a open checkbook. also seems like yanmar people are more tightliped then deere or cat people not just the dealers , i mean the owners
just wondering is it because owners are just not haveing computer problems or they just pay the bill and the hell with it ??? yanmar dealers are far away and ya really dont know if their tech's are any good anyway !!! i dianoise problems !! i'am not a parts changer !!! i worked as a ford car dealership as a tech till 86, i shiver at the thought of letting someone make the problem / repair worse cause they screw up ! i support the ( right to repair law ).
any thoughts or help in any way are truely appreciated . thank you !
