Owner/Shop manual Yanmar 3110

[California]

...
I am really looking forward to running this tractor and hauling it back if all looks good (mechanically of course) -- I could use some type of fork installation, will decide on that after I see the bucket configuration.

I think you're on the right track.

I have an answer for one of your questions - I built a set of strap-on forks and described them in this thread (http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/86838-pallet-forks.html#post970208). They do everything I need - handle limbs, pallets, lift my implements for storage. If that is a heavy duty loader you might want something better but I haven't found a need for anything more than this.

Photo - typical use of forks.

I don't know if it has PS, will find out tomorrow. Here is a link to the G&S site inspection

You can cruise their website and find out a few things about them (like they paint all their tractors green -- so they are red under the green.. having talked to the current owner I know this to be the case), other than that I don't know anything about them that isn't on their webpage -- Having read many posts on this forum over the past few weeks I know that there are dealers that are outspoken about other dealers both positive and negative.. there are also many owners that have knowledge about various dealers and their practices - that is the type of "feed-back" I was looking for.

The weird thing is that they talk like the work is done there, but they seem to be the only one painting tractors green? Fredricks i dont think paints green and is the largest and only i beleive reconditioner here in the US, other than the smaller dealers like earnie and Wayne who Recondition or bring the things that need to be fixed up to snuff.
This is the line that seems curious to me.... "Our Supplier Backs Up Their Work With A Warranty
If you have done much checking you know that it is almost impossible to find a good used tractor with any type of warranty. Our used tractor supplier is so confident of their reconditioning processes that they will warranty each used tractor for a full 30 days from delivery. "

Source: the Link that were were given above. http://compact-tractors.com/inspecti.htm#About G & S Compact Tractors

This leads you to beleive that they dont do it themselves. And 30 days is not much of a warrenty, even most of the VN "reconditioners" give 90 days and some will push that to one year.

The other scary thing is they have had that stupid thing up, "sorry about the mess we are redoing our site, bla bla bla" For at least a year. Hire so 12th grader to fix it for you and be done with it.

Im not saying there not on the up and up that 30 day warrenty seems short to me. They after all are linking to Hoye and i think Haye must advertise with them , which i dont think they would do with a fly by night type operation.

Maybe this tells us all we need to know about them:

Used - YANMAR 1510-D 19 HP PTO - 21 Engine HP ...
Compare to JD 4115 4WD Compact Tractor (24 hp) engine

Source: YM1510 page linked from 'About G&S Tractors'.

On that model Yanmar declared 15 PTO hp. When Yanmar sold the identical engine in their US version (YM186) they claimed 18 hp measured at the flywheel per American custom.

Somebody is just making stuff up.

Maybe they listen to talk radio a lot.

clemsonfor: It gets even better and better. If you do a search on the "sales" phone number for the company (9406363910) you can see it is Stan's Tractors in TX -- If you look at the tractors for sale advertised on the Hoye site, it gives that same number to call, which is also (allegedly) the number for G&S.

OK, "who's on first"?

Which does not make any sense as i though Hoye quit selling tractors years ago. I think Hoye has not sold tractors i know for a year, i think i asked them, but i cant remember now?

 

[Desert Tractor]

You are correct, Hoye does not currently sell tractors... they have a link on their page for tractors for sale (that they apparently endorse) and then proclaim that they (Hoye) does not sell tractors, just parts... but they have their preferred tractor seller (dealer) that they recommend (at that phone number) and there will be more dealers to be recommended in the future. -- It's all on Hoye's page.

So who is on first??

 

[Car Doc]

I may have my facts wrong but at one time I was looking for a Yanmar tiller and ran across Stans tractors and if not mistaken he may have said they were relatives of Hoye fwtw?

Btw I have the manuals and I think anyone would like a 3110D its a sister to my 3810D and its just right for me anyway. I wouldn't ever need more tractor unless I did real larger scale farming not just piddling around with gardens and stuff. hth
