Dealer Yanmar ym2010

Shame on them........VN tractors..... Like opening a box of chocolates. You never know what your going to get ! Well, it's running and if your happy. I guess that's all that counts !

No doubt, but it was still a bargain and it is quite reliable.

Sounds like you got fair value for your money then.

I wish I had a YM2210D but I've never seen one near here priced reasonably. I see one on CL for $7500 with loader, claimed 814 hours and "REFERBISHED INSIDE AND OUT" (sic). I'm still waiting - after several years - to see one for what I want to pay.

a guy I know sold his VN 2210 for im sure less than that but not sure. He had it about a year and it really was not what he wanted. His hrdros were so good he could leave the BH and bucket up for weeks and would not leak down any noticeable amount

I have learned that whenever the word, Refurbished, is used in in connection with Yanmar tractors, the word, Refurbished, was substituted for, Salvaged. Basicly they replaced any noticeably broken component with that part salvaged from another tractor. Also, the hours on the tachometer mean absolutely nothing. Mine had less than 200 hours on it. The tachometer is just as likely one of the items that was salvaged from another tractor, if it was not turned back. That so many of these things are reliable is a testament to Yanmar for their original quality. I believe I paid $7200 for mine with new back tires, a new FEL and box scraper about 6 years ago.

I know this thread has a little age on it but hopefully some of you are still reading the mail. I am curious as the to tone of my YM2210. I know a lot of guys have asked about the serious knock of the 2T90 (the Yanmar Hammer) but I am a little concerned with reference to the slight skip when I rev the engine. It's not a serious miss but if it were a Chevy, I would say it's skipping. Does any of you experience the same thing? I also noticed that the tach needle jumps with the sound of the miss. There is no white smoke which usually accompanies a misfire, but being a newbie to the 2 cylinder diesel I thought I would ask some of you experienced guys. Oh, by the way, I have bleed the fuel system in an effort to purge the air but it still runs the same. Any comments will be deeply appreciated.

I dont have anything. Mine sometimes at a certain rpm has what in the exhaust sounds like a miss?? Dont think it is, the tractor is smooth reving and everything i just think its how it comes out???

Thanks for that info. I kinda feel the same, it's just how it is supposed to sound. Now I need to head out to the tractor to check my warning lights. Need to do some troubleshooting because none are lighting up. I just bought this tractor and so far so good. Just need to make sure that the seller didn't disconnect the lights to hide a problem.

Another question with reference to warning lights. I checked my lights yesterday and had connection problem which I was able to fix. My question now has to do with the temp light and how do I test it. I removed the wire from the temp sensor (or sender) and tested the wire with my power probe and the bulb came on. I replaced the wire and used a heat gun on the sensor connection and the light never came on. Is there another way I can test the sending unit to make sure it's is functioning correctly?

Take it out, put it and a temp gauge in a pan of water and bring it to whatever temperature does or doesn't activate it using an ohm meter. Will that work??

You may need to use a water-antifreeze solution, because the warning light may not come on until it is above the boiling point of pure water. (antifreeze raises the boiling point)
