Multiple Yanmar Tractors?

[richriddle]

Do most of you just keep one tractor or have more than one for various reasons. I have a YM147D set up for mowing in the summer and pushing snow in winter. The YM276D takes care of the "tractor stuff." Does anyone else do this?

Well, there is one guy named Tom Fredrick. He has this many around his house, literally.

Darn it Marge, my tractor broke. Which tractor? You know, the red one.

Can't match that Fredricks photo (!) but I 'need' two. Actually the little one is the workhorse with the big one dedicated to specialty use - its backhoe.

See the photo linked from my sig, below.

Did a write up in another forum on building the enclosure. Maverick was following along..
Works great too !

Your YM147D is much fancier than mine that only has the blade with no loader. The enclosure is interesting on yours. Can you take it off in the summer? I might make the canopy for mine. All work and no playtime has made Rich a very boring man.

Yes. Can be taken off without to much work. Though I thinking of just leaving it on. The sides are just buttoned on so they're real easy. That leaves just the front windshield and roof. Plus I really don't use it a whole lot in the summer away...

He seems to have a few redundancy tractors and might ponder selling off one of them here and there.

I bought mine from him back in 2014. And it was a restored machine serialized in the 5,000s. Bet the number is 2X or 3X from there in 2022.

If there were ever an invading gopher army of aliens that landed, they would be no match for the Fredricks fleet. LOL YM machines and tillers attack!

Here's my baby girl in the fleet.

If green Yanmars count it would be like this - 1 YM336/w loader 1 JD 850 4wd/ w loader 1 JD850 4wd and 1 JD 850/2wd I think that is a total of 4. Can't have to many.

If the YM336 were to be green, it would be a Yanmar TREE FROG.

The YM336 is the original red.

You and people who share your philosophy are to blame for another Yanmar YM276D moving to the farm. All your fault.....yuppers

Only have one Yanny, YM2000. Rest are different makes, deere, massy, white and international. All have their place. Yanny gets used mowing the road sides on the farm and bush cutting in the trees and occasionally planting a food plot with a one row planter. Brother bought the new Massey a few months ago for tax purposes. Doesn't matter to me, new tractor to work with.

FM. what I bought the YM2000 for and other small jobs. Small rear implements. 3 acres I maintain Wkly. with 11 in all. Not the biggest in the arsenal over the Yrs. but the most dependable. Just typical wear and has failed me twice. Starter both times. I could have rolled it off if so it was still useable. I put the Ghetto rig on it the first time and then the shop that did repair the starter mentioned it. Something like all could get out of those Brushes...... reg. Maint. of course. Fredricks has been great over the Yrs.. RS1400 Tiller and Maint. parts. The Drive there was easy.
Being local I've been looking up @ Adairsville lately knowing another addition in most likely coming. I had to replace the FM. wheels which I just finished up with. 012 on the odometer when I bought it and it's in the 900hrs. now. 95% of the time mowing. Literally The FM. wheels was 1.5" smaller in Dia. And 1 bearing fell apart.
