I love my Yanmar !!!

This is the first time I have used it for the garden. I have a RS1400 tiller to go with it. It did the work great. And having the faster pto speeds for the 2nd and 3rd pass made the dirt very good to plant in.

I have a 1700 (newly painted)

Yes, I like mine too. Where are you located? I use mine for construction, I wish I lived in an area where I could have a garden. Terry

I live on three acres about 30 miles south of Atlanta. My parents live next to me on three acres also. The property used to be farm land so we have very few trees and black soil down about 1 foot. We tilled up and planted 2 plots about 60 x 20 each. We have also been using the tractor to fix the ground so the Zero turn mower goes over it easier.

The higher pto speeds, which put extra torque on the pto and transmission, are meant for the mud slurry in which these tractors were originally used. We advise our customers to never use anything other than pto range 1 unless the implement has instructions requiring a higher pto speed than 540. Can you get away with it? Of course. For a while.

It seems to work well for me. If the ground is a little hard it takes 2 passes to get down 8". But my RS1400 works great with it.
