My Experience with the Yanmar 2010.
Model Year: 0
Overall, I have been happy with this tractor. It is easy to operate and runs strong. I don't farm with it but do a number of projects on our property. Living in eastern Washington, we can get accumulations of 2-3 feet of snow from Nov. to March, so snow removal in its number 1 use. Because it is 2-wheel drive, traction has been an issue, especially on ice. Even on dry ground, traction is significantly decreased when the rather large front bucket is loaded. I have filled the back tires with calcium and run chains in the winter. When the drive wheels spin, the chains slip between the cleats on the tires, so the chains are then ineffective. I would like any suggestions with a remedy for the chains issue, as well as adding weight to the rear of the tractor (without removing the rear blade). As a footnote, I was looking for a 4-wheel drive tractor when I initially went shopping. The salesman told me that a 2-wheel would be adequate if my property wasn't hilly. Since I grew up in the Palouse Country of eastern Washington, where hills can be steep and massive, the gentle rolling knobs where I currently live weren't really "hills"! It doesn't take much of an incline to shift the center of gravity and greatly reduce traction.
Pros: Ease of use, reliability.
Cons: Traction.
