@@jimmyf1312they are new so more dealers will come on board as time goes on. That being said, if you buy one then obviously the dealer you bought it at would do the work. So not really a big deal because if you can’t find a dealer to buy one then you won’t have to worry about getting repairs. You can go to their website and locate a dealer. When I checked they were mostly in the central to eastern US. Non yet in the western us states, and also on a very few in eastern Canada. Thanks for watching.
@@jimmyf1312 I'm sure they're working on a dealership network in the states at the moment. Any piece of equipment is only worth what the dealer selling them is worth. I almost always advise people not to purchase a specific brand but, rather, purchase the dealership relationship that will work best for you
I had a chance to speak with some Yakta folks as well as drive the YXR910 and YXS710. I was impressed with how the 910 handled bit thought the 710 was a bit stiff in the steering. I was told that they are still tweaking that. Other than that the build quality ia amazing on these machines and I am very impressed with the 310. Its supposed to be a homeowner machine but its built more heavy duty than some commercial units are. If anything, they are bringing innovation to this industry especially with the split frame technology. I think it takes big balls to come into the industry as a new kid amongst such giants like Toro, Exmark, Scag, Bobcat, Walker, Wright, Kubota, etc. I got to give them that as well.
Yes pretty impressive for at the time of filming this video it was 11 months from the start of development I believe. I noticed some minor fit and finish issues like the paint work seemed a bit rough and also looked like some plastic parts like the key and other parts like the panels that the controls sit in on the ZTR looked to be 3D printed. But overall that’s just minor stuff I’m sure they will work out. The split frame is very cool. Reminds me of the Walker or Exmark Navigator where the deck is removable and you can put other decks or attachments in its place. So I like the versatility their design. Looking forward to seeing if and when they put out smaller models. Thanks for watching.
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess yes, they told me they had to 3D print the gas tanks and some other parts because they didn't have the proper molded parts. But the 3D printed ones were close to what the final ones will be. Yes, the attachment versatility like a Walker is a major selling point and a great way to earn ROI for the purchase.
Very cool. I love machines that are versatile and can be used for more than just one task. Thanks again to Andrew for taking the time to do a product tour on video and thanks for watching.
Im personally not brand loyal and am gald to see companies like this. As a commercial guy you need drive shfts to the deck. And just make a front deck mower.
When you fly across the country and stay in hotels at your own expense, all while missing out on making income in your own business during the week to be able to film videos for those such as yourself that cannot attend, then you can do them the way you want.
Let me know in the comments below what you think of these new Yakta mowers.
That warranty is impressive
Yes it is for sure. Thanks for watching.
Agreed the warranty is good but who is doing the work? Where do you get it fixed? I’ve never even heard of them let alone have any dealers

@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess definitely an interesting brand to watch out for

@@dexewing1oh ok. Good to know that proper moulded parts are in the works. Thanks for sharing.
Super duty. Love it.
Awesome video! We're glad you had a chance to stop by and chat with Andrew. What do you think of the split frame?

Stop talking while the man is explaining - you are distracting your interview
