Hi from the UK

Hi,
Just bought a Yanmar 1720D as I have acquired a few acres.
I know nothing about tractors (yet) but have bought a manual from Hoye (sold a kidney to buy it...).
Tractor seems quite easy to use (has power shift), though I somehow managed to wheelie it whilst using a tiller/rotovator . I have attached a home-made hand control lever to the clutch as I can't use foot controls; I am paraplegic following a fall a few years ago (don't ask me how I get on and off it, suffice to say that it 'aint easy, and I've become de-trousered a couple of times....).
Hope to find answers to some of the increasingly many questions I have about the tractor.
Ed.

I still have not got my WSM (Work Shop Manual) since no one wants to purchase my low functioning kidney. :laughing:

Hi Ed. Welcome to the forum. :welcome:

Congrats on your new Yanmar!

Thanks (it's "new" to me, but probably over 30 years old.... is there a way I can accurately date it?)...
