I am assuming these are all "gray market" tractors.Most parts seem to be available, and surprisingly reasonably, for those Yanmars. There is a good selection of aftermarket parts available. I dont know about the Hinomoto, make sure you have a good source of parts for that exact model of tractor, as it is sometimes a hit or miss situation on such tractors. Try to ascertain the country of origin of these units, Viet Namese units usually have had a rough life, whereas the top grade of the Japanese imports may be a very decent, well maintained unit, or a professionally reconditioned unit. Of couse, expect to pay for quality. Inspect carefully, looking for leaking seals, rust damage, notably in the brakes and linkages and the steering gearbox. Look for water and dirt contamination in the transmission. Crud in the radiator is common, some are so plugged that overheating is guaranteed. And, its important to do a little research on your dealer. You can find very good and very, very bad ones!
