I agree with everything here except the bit about Yanmar. I like Yanmar engines; John Deere even uses them on some of their small tractors and commercial mowers. Don't know much about actual Yanmar produced tractors, but I suspect they may have got a bad rep due to their lack of US dealer network, or maybe racism/nationalism.
