There's a nice YM336D (4WD) for sale nearby me. This is the US model, right? Where can I find the specs on this model? I checked Hoye and searched this forum but no luck.
YM336 specs?

I was hoping to find some dimensions like length and width...
length...with 3 pt hitch........122.3''
without 3 pt......112.6''
overall width ( min).........57.9''
wheel base....68.9''
I don't know if the rear wheels on the 336 has the x tra lugs that allows for x tra width or not. My 3110 has these lugs

Ok, so I was considering upgrading to a YM2210D from my YM1700, and I came across someone selling a 336D with a loader for a good price. I have been doing various jobs with my YM1700, including pulling a 5' finish mower to mow about 2 acres of lawn with some mild hills. I can tell from using the YM1700 (standard gear) that the Powershift transmission would make the job easier Question: Opinions on whether the 336D is going to be too big a beast for this? (too heavy? turn radius too big?)

You will notice a huge difference in the upgrade to the 2210D, but if you can get the 336D for not much more then you were going to spend on the 2210, I would get the 336D just because, more HP the better, at least for me.
I have a ym2210 with Allied loader, you buy that 336D and find it to big, I'll trade you.

Is a paint roller too big? Is a chipping brush too small?
I think it depends on how open and large an area you're dealing with, and what you need to do. On my 2 acres of trees, even the YM2000 is sometimes too big to tuck underneath the trees to mow or disk. The maneuverability of the smaller and shorter 186D lets it do things the larger tractor can't. Conversely, my bigger International Harvester 464 can disk all the open areas in the rows between the trees twice as wide and three times as fast per pass. It doesn't have a hope of getting under the trees, or even close to them.
I'm sure the 2210 will pull your mower faster and more easily. The extra weight and 4 wheel drive will let it use larger implements, or the same ones faster compared to your 1700, in the same size package, roughly. The 336 is markedly larger. There's nothing wrong with that, and it can be a definite advantage, but, especially with a loader, it's going to be a much bigger machine. If your 2 acres of lawn is open and unobstructed, and you have no
other places to fit that are small, the 336 will be fine. But if you are having trouble dodging obstacles with the 1700, I think the 336 with a loader will be too large.
One thing about dimensions: they aren't always "truthy." The YM2000 is 44 inches wide, while the 186 is 42.9, and length numbers including the hitch are 108 and 98.3. The numbers mislead: the 186 is much more compact, even with the 2000's wheels set at minimum width. The 336 is a lot bigger machine than the 1700, if you haven't laid eyes on it yet. I'm not trying to talk you into or out of one or the other. I don't know what limitations you have encountered with your current setup. I think the 2210 would be like a mega-1700. The same, but vastly more productive. The 336 is bigger and more capable yet, but may feel like a dually crewcab pickup in a Costco parking lot.
A heavy loader like the 336 has is remarkably useful. I'm always finding ways and reasons to use one that I never even considered I needed help doing. Things that used to be nuisance are now fun, or at least no longer a challenge. Nothing gets in the way like a loader, either, except a brush mower. Unfortunately, you are the only person who knows what will work or not work for you. On the plus side, those are both good machines, and enough of a change that it is worth considering.

I will also say the loader is in the way some, especially when just trying to mow or hawg. makes turning in tight areas a pain in the A..but I still wouldn't do without one if given the choice, but just for mowing I think you are good with the 1700 to be honest.
I use my tractor plowing food plots and loader work pushing fallen trees and brush into piles, I only use it in my yard when I aerate it. So the larger the tractor the better for what I use it for, always wanted a large yanmar but my 2210 does everything I need just takes a bit longer.

I have 3 acres I bush hog 1 -2 times a year, and my YM1700 struggles to cut it with my 4' rotary mower; have to go verrry slow. It does just fine pulling my 5' finish mower, although I would really like to have Powershift...
