Man you 2 cyl guys that can get 14 mph would smoke me I would lose sight of you in a minute or 2! :laughing:

I get about 9 mph at wot close to 2800 rpm. Bet my mileage is no where near as good either its real good for a tractor I think but 22 is very impressive and I am not completely surprised either never would have thought about it though!

9mph is tops for you! That is super slow, heck i think i mow at 7-8mph most of the time?

Yeah seriously no kidding its that slow I mow in high gear mostly! I roaded it once about 9 miles on dirt roads because I had a car trailer full of firewood and didn't want to make 2 trips.

I had my buddy drive the pickup and it took every bit of an hour and then some he told me what the speeds were. Got to see some country though about like horse back with a diesel sound and smell hahaha!

Your first gear must be so slow you have to go inside get a drink and come back out to actually know it moved. You probly cant see it if your looking at it!

....22mpg not bad! I guess if I needed too I could drive my tractor to the beach and only use about fifteen gallons.

Yea, that dont sound too bad but reverse figuring puts it at about 330 miles. Or about 22 hours to get there:shocked: So ya might want to leve wendsday for that weekend trip:laughing:

Yes it is very very slow and my tires are a tiny bit oversized to boot I wish it was geared a bit higher personally! One of my buddy's who I got the idea to buy Yanmar in the first place has a 2620D and he said that right off the low gears on these are so low you could literally leave them run over nite in creep 1 and still wouldn't have left the yard.

I agree now I have one and I will probably never use the creep gears for actual work maybe a demonstration now and then but thats about it what they are good for hahaha!
