Questions
Frequently asked questions
Answers about sourcing, quotations, comparison and shipping. If something is not covered here, ask us directly.
Where is your agricultural machinery sourced?
Our machinery is sourced in Japan from the domestic used-equipment market. Each listing on this site records the machine details reported by the source at the time of listing, and the source reference is shown on every machinery page.
Do you sell used Japanese agricultural machinery?
Yes. The machinery listed here is used equipment from the Japanese market. Condition varies by machine and is stated on each listing where the source provides it. Some items are listed as parts-grade, meaning the machine has a known problem or its condition is unclear.
Can you export machinery from Japan?
Yamato Cars has arranged export of Japanese vehicles and machinery since 2013. Export arrangements, documentation and shipping are coordinated as part of the agreed transaction. Routes and options are confirmed for your destination during quotation.
Can I request a quotation?
Yes. Every machinery page has a Request a Quote button that carries the machine details into the enquiry form, so you do not need to type them yourself. You can also submit a general enquiry describing what you are looking for.
Can I compare different machines?
Yes. Select machines from the inventory using the compare control on each card, then open the comparison view to see their specifications side by side. Fields that no machine carries are hidden so the table stays readable.
Can I request additional specifications?
Yes. Where a specification is not published in a listing, we show that it is not specified rather than estimating it. Ask in your enquiry and we will confirm what can be verified with the machine.
Can you help me choose machinery?
Tell us your crop, land size, operating conditions and budget range in your enquiry, and our team will discuss which of the available machines may suit your requirements.
Can you arrange shipping?
Shipping arrangements are coordinated as part of the agreed transaction. Available routes, timelines and costs depend on your destination port and the machine, and are confirmed in writing during quotation.
How do I contact Yamato Cars?
