And we all know, "Nothing runs like a Yanmar"..............

I used to have a friend that owned both back in the late 70s that owned a new Yanmar, 4X4, and an old 2 cylinder John Deere. One night we were out to his house at a party, and his tractors came up as a subject. Back then almost no one knew what a Yanmar was. So through the night as more adult beverages were consumed, the phrase. "Nothing runs like a Deere" got tweaked a little bit, to "Nothing runs like a Yanmar", got coined. Of course at the time Yanmar was a strange name to us. Anytime all of us got together, we used to kid him about it for years later.

FWIW, he had that Yanmar for years after that, it was trouble free for him.
