Tractor News My old 2210 still seems to be a good tractor

[greatrandini]

I have not posted on here in years. Some may remember me. I got tired of arguing. I am just letting everyone know that my Viena Tractor ym2210 with the original V-loader is still going strong.

I really don't use it all that much but for a small property owner and for the money I spent I am still happy with it. I have done very little to it. I do change the engine oil a lot. The loader still works great. I should maybe change the hydro fluid one of these years. I have worked it hard and it has held up fairly well.. This was an early Vietnam rebuild. Just FYI.

Great

Welcome back. Glad your tractor is still giving you great service.

good to hear that.

Someone has never seen a yanmar?

They most likely did and not know it. 3cyl Yanmar Eng.

Welcome home!

Yanmar's YM2210. (Not Deere) : TractorData.com Yanmar YM2210 tractor information

Essentially this is the big brother to YM2000. Same years, 2 more hp from the same engine block, heavier, and most important, Powershift.

I just don't see why powershift is so important. I've had my 2000 for 8yrs. and put over 500Hrs. on it and still find no need for it. When I mow with it FM/BH. And I need to shift. I let off the gas push in the Clutch Wait a Sec. for the Rpms. to lower to my setting. Usually 1100 when mowing and Shift it. I just can't see how A Sec. makes such a big Difference?

You missed that by a mile!!!!

I've got a JD2210. It's nothing like a Yanmar 2210. >)

Our opinions are about that far apart. In mine when the Motor is Made by Yanmar for JD. and whatever else on it. It's a Yanmar just Painted Grn. which I like Grn

What you're mowing must be a lot smoother than my sloping orchard. I've never been able to match rpms for shifting while moving on my uneven ground. Lurching over disc clods, tire tracks, gopher mounds, uneven slopes makes the forward speed continually uneven. After lots of experimenting I decided a full stop is the only way to select another gear on the YM240. And I had lots of experience listening to rpm's and double-clutching up and down in old nonsynchro transmissions without clashing. I had thought I could apply that experience here. Didn't apply.

In contrast, I just came in for lunch after a morning on the YM186D. Yesterday I used the backhoe on the YM240 to dig out stumps, this morning I was backfilling the excavations, all on side slopes, with the Powershift YM186D. It works great to shift down bulldozing a pile forward uphill into the excavation for example, or shifting up to drive around and approach the pile from a different side. Uphill, downhill, sideslope, its great to shift the PS with fingertip pressure without losing forward inertia.

The value of PS depends on the application. Particularly for loader work there's just no comparison.
