The ZEN-NOH Mystery

Zennoh, also identifiable as ZEN-NOH, is a Japanese conglomerate and the acronym for: National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations of Japan. Started in 1972 and very much active to this day, consists of a group of more than 1,000 co-ops. ZEN-NOH approached Yanmar with a strong purchasing offer to buy their tractors and equipment in large multiples or lots at considerable savings, then redistributed the machinery to rice and dairy farmers.

If you’ve ever seen a red, white and Spruce green ZEN-NOH and wondered what it is, and where it came from, it’s a Yanmar from Japan. Other than the hood transfers (decals) there are absolutely NO differences between any two same model numbers.

Below are two identical models - other than the D designation for 4WD with the FEL.

Many thanks to the owner of Little Miami Trading Company (www.lmtc.com) where these pictures were acquired.

Mith,

They sure have....so if you see ZEN-NOH or the letter Z followed by the manufacturers model number, and it's orange LOL, it's a gray market Kubota.
