Well, it’s been well over a year when John Deere and Yanmar officially ended their contract agreement…but IMHO they seem to have extended an agreement to finish manufacturing commitments as there are still models made and sold throughout 2007. And my best guess is manufacturing parts support well into the future.
I agree, the new EX3200 looks like the cousin of the JD790 and 3320, sharing sheet metal, instruments, wheels and tires and even the ROPS design and position. I would think that Yanmar exercised certain licenses in design for Cub Cadet in hopes of the model being well received during their product launch….maybe?
