YM187D Delivered today

[California]

I was thinking the front tires look small. My similar YM186D calls for 5x15 front tires. A former gray-market seller commented that the 5.00-15 fronts on it now are slightly taller than the original 5x15 and those two sizes aren't the same.

Sacsr, what size tires are on it? Do they match the owner's manual weight (and tires) chart that Aaron posted recently?

Tire sizes are 6-12 on front and 12.4-16 on rear...these do show up as an option for this model.....R1 tires.

Expecting to get a little snow tonight. But I got it covered up till I can make some room in my shop. Would not want it to get wet


Think I may have found my implements....

1 42 bush hog
1 scraper blade
1 post hole digger (2 bits)

Pretty sure it is less than 3-4 years old....

For $1000 sound like a fair deal for both of us??

Stock sizes for the 186D are, front - 6 x 12 , rear - 9.5 x 16 .

Nice find on the tractor! You got a great price on it. I live in PA and rarely see a good running tractor with a loader in this price range. I'm a bit biased too, cause I have a 187D also. You're gonna love your new machine, and the tires look like mine also. I've often wondered if my tires were properly sized, as the rears seem to be smaller and wider than many other models. And yes, the traction is good with those tires. If you start spinning in 4wd, you are probably somewhere you shouldn't be.

You are right!

I went out in the rain and looked. 6.00 - 12 is what is on my YM186D while the manual calls for '6 - 12'. Dave of Dave's tractors who used to import grays before he became the Mahindra distributor, told me the 6.00 I have is slightly taller than the 6-12 that were factory original. Sorry about my mistaken 5.00 x 15. That is what is on the YM240.

My YM186D has 9.5 - 15 rears as it should.

Sorry for the confusion.

California, Did you mean 9.5x16? My 1510 has 16 inchers and I thought that the 186 did also?

Bah. Dyslexics Untie!

You are right. 9.5 - 16. !

Again, sorry for the confusion.

California, curious to know if the 186D does the job you hoped it would. I can't say enough about mine. I'd like to come across a deal like that 187D, $4200 is a real bargain .

Yes!

But nothing I've used it for so far tests it to the limit. One example is hauling around a harvest trailer like in this first picture which is pretty light use, in fact I occasionally pulled that trailer down into the orchard with the Subaru in the past.

This clearly pulls the trailer uphill in soft (disced) ground better than the Subaru but nothing like the YM240.

It came with a light back blade

and it works well with that, but so far I've only tried grading cultivated ground which isn't much of a test. And of course the small size is ideal for pulling the 4 ft rotary mower among the decorative trees near the fence line, it is far better than the larger tractor for that.

One weakness compared to the YM240 is that its 3-point seems jumpy; with a light touch it raises more than I intended.

I would say this is an excellent complement to my larger tractor, a lot more convenient, but it doesn't replace it.

And yes I am envious too of Sacsr's $4200 deal!!!

Nice Tractor!!! But then I'm partial to the Yanmars. I have a 1610D that I bought last year and I love it. I have no doubt you're going to get some good use out of it. ENJOY!!!
