9 June Little building John Deere 850 ("same" as a Yanmar YM 2500)

yet another craigslist find. Wife wants a Yanmar with the automatic transmission feature for her to use at the farm so the Yanmar 2310 I just painted and serviced will be hers at the farm. The JD 850 will now be at my Little building for a spray tractor and in town garden tractor if I can find some local land. These compact series tractors are Yanmar tractors built for JD to their specs in the 1980's. This one is similar to a Yanmar 3000 if my memory is correct (another fix and flip). A lot of parts interchange.$5140.00 and 10 years ago this was a $3000.00 tractor and easy to find. Not anymore.....

Thata boy, fckn excellent find. The deere 1050 was deeres most reliable tractor ever, as m sure youre aware by now the 850 is basically the youngest brother, as the 950 is the closest to the 1050 without the turbo and dual stage clutch
