My Yanmar 2620

[wmcelwee]

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and new to tractor ownership. I purchased a 2620, looks like crap (all the lights busted off, paint faded and cracked) but runs well and everything mechanical is sound.

I haven't found a lot of info on the 2620 but I've ordered the appropriate books from Hoye.

I do have some questions:

What's the max capacity for the front loader? What about the 3-point?

Do any of you folks have experience with a root grapple on a YM? I'm planning on purchasing a 48" grapple soon in order to clear out a warehouse full to the brim with scrap wood and junk.

Has anyone used a 60" loader bucket on a tractor this size?

TIA for any answers,

wmcelwee

Check out this thread on the loader. It " might" give you a little information

Welcome. I can't answer any of your loader or backhoe questions since I don't have them. As far as capacity there are charts around, I am not sure where they are. I would just buy a five gallon bucket. It will holdbat least 4 gallons and maybe five.

My ym240 (same as a YM2000, 20 pto hp) has a bucket 5 ft wide but not real deep. I don't recall I've ever scooped a load - gravel or anything - that I couldn't lift easily. But this is wide enough that it doesn't dig easily into hard ground.

Just guessing but for a 2620 I would say a 5 ft bucket if it will always carry maximum-weight loads such as mucking out a stable or taking gravel in for a septic system contractor. Or digging in the earth. For the rubbish you described, a 6 ft wouldn't be stressed but that larger bucket will take more room to maneuver, so it depends on your long term mix of applications.

Fredricks don't even list having a 2620. They show to have a 2610. If this is close to your tractor, it shows koyker 140 or 150 loader.

What loader do you have ?

I have a 3110D and all I have is a 5ft bucket. Some times, (with full bucket) It's all the Koyker loader wants

I don't have a dedicated grapple . I have a thumb which bolts to the bucket

You do not mention the loader brand that is on the tractor, nor where it gets the hydraulic fluid from. All will play a part in what the loader will lift as will how far in front of the pivot pins the load is located.
The amount of hydro pressure generated by the pump is the biggest factor in what your loader will lift after the loader specs. Flow rate once min required is met will mostly result in speed of operation.
There are lots of issues related to your loader questions and you provided only that you have a loader.
One caution that was kind of address by another person is size of your bucket has many possible effects, some include—-wider requires more space to move about. A wider bucket is often a deeper bucket and that may be an issue.
Also the closer to max weight you make your loader work, the more you keep everything close to its upper limits of operation, the more likely you are to find any weak spots in the mechanical process. Such as worn metal and rubber hydraulic lines, valves, pump, cylinders, and the list goes on.
It is your machine, use it as you wish, but there are reasons why we have machines that range in hp from low 10’s to 100’s

The loader on it almost seems like it came from the factory with it, but I don't believe they were ever produced that way. It's painted red, same as the tractor, and there are no descriptive markings or stickers on it anywhere. At any rate I've got a lot more to read and learn.

Thank you all for your replies thus far.

Post a picture of it. People will tell you what it is or if it's home made. These guys know what the loaders are o. These things.

I think the Yanmar-Japan loaders had curved arms in that era. Does this one?

No, it has straight/angular arms like a koyker. I did actually find a sticker on it, saying it is from 'Apple Implement MFG'. Here is the only pic I have of it at the moment:
