Our "new" 186D

Nice find! The 186D is a nice little tractor, I believe that was the next step up from the 169D which I used to have. They are very reliable little tractors, I didn't use mine a ton but It was a great first tractor, couldn't have asked for a better one. :thumbsup:

Just for reference there wouldn't be any paint worn off the wear points from use at 14 hours, like the grab handles or the foot rests or the pedals.

It appears to have had something slung underneath at one time.

Chris

hes right and when i looked at the pics again to see the blade i did notice the handles are worn to the metal. NO way that paint would wear through with 14 hours of use on it. Mine are just chipped after 100 hours after a repaint when redone. I keep mine in a shed too. I think he lied on that part of it! Not a problem with tractor but just not the truth. I can get half an hour just letting the thing idle while working around house with it

My dad is worried the tractor will not run a 4' tiller. Any reason he should be worried or will it be fine?

It will run a Yanmar 4 ft tiller fine. I have a Yanmar RS1400 tiller, the tiller that was factory-equipped on YM2000. Its 1400mm, (I think 54") wide. That works the YM186D pretty hard but its usable. I'm using it to clean up where the big disc behind a 70 hp tractor couldn't fit. However - if I'm tilling along in disced ground and have to step up onto undisturbed ground like climbing a stair, then as the tractor nose climbs, the tiller gets forced in deeper and this can stall me.

I don't know if a rental tiller (Howard etc) works a tractor harder than the Yanmar tillers that were designed for rice paddies.

I think for a simple vegetable garden a 4 ft rental tiller would work fine. Worst case, you might have to make a shallow cut to break up the turf then a deeper second pass. Don't be afraid to run the tractor hard. That's what it is designed for.

What about a Gravely tiller? We have one laying by the shed that he bought not knowing how expensive the accessories were.

Ask the guy,what happened to the belly mower. That red bracket is for a mower deck. My 186D is just like that,with a YCM60 deck.
