My Yanmar 2220D

I put the finishing touches on my tractor the other day. After taking the fenders, hood, removing the old decals, etc, I fixed a few small dents and repainted the whole tractor. I decided to use Massey Ferguson red, because it is readily available. It's not an exact match for the original paint but is close enough for me. The old paint was faded and in a few places was worn down to bare metal, now at least I don't have to worry about it rusting away.

BTW, I don't use the tractor on such a steep slope as where the picture was taken, but on my property it is hard to find a level spot.

Great looking tractor. That is an interesting looking scarifier on the 3 pt. Do you use that for a root rake?

MJPeterson, that is exactly what I use it for. It's called a "renovator" basically it's a box blade without the blade. It does a great job of preparing "new" ground before plowing, discing, etc.

Sometimes it does too good of a job though, especiaslly for a smaller tractor. Just yesterday I got too close to a large tree and three shanks got stuck and I couldn't go forward or reverse. I ended up disconecting the whole thing and had to take the "offending" shanks off one at a time to unstuck it.
