I have no experience with a 520, but the 553 on my 2012 5075e has been through all sorts of abuse and hasn't given a moment of trouble in 12 years. I mainly use the tractor in forestry work, and use the loader more as dozer blade than a loader.
It has pushed down countless trees, dug ditches...
I had some things going on and just made it back to the farm and my tractor yesterday. I tried to crank the tractor, and it wouldn't. It turned over a couple of times, but not fast enough to crank it. So I did as suggested and ran a jumper cable from battery+ to the starter and it cranked...
Thanks, that sounds like really good advice. I had a problem with the negative cable ground a few years ago and I have cleaned it well. I don't think it's the problem, but could be wrong.
Running the tests with jumper cables is a great idea. I will do that and let everyone know, but it may be...
Sorry, I mean it will turn the engine over and crank it fine the rest of the day. When I try to crank it first thing in the morning, the battery doesn't have enough power to turn it over. It sounds exactly like you would expect from a weak battery. When I connect the booster, it couldn't crank...
My 2012 5075e came with a great OEM battery that lasted over 8 years. Finally had to replace it and tried a group 27 marine battery because that was the size that would fit. It worked ok except when really cold, but was done after 3 years. For the last few months, I had to jump it off every...
I use the Pat's system with a little 26hp Yanmar, but I didn't like it with my 75 hp JD. I switched it back to the telescoping lift arms that came standard on the 5210. I haven't found another system that works as well as those do for changing attachments by myself.
For anyone who hasn't used...
I am pretty sure that my 2012 5075e is designed in a similar manner to yours. I actually traded a 5210 for this one. I had an experience a lot like you have described a couple of years after I bought it.
I had not used the tractor for a couple of weeks and ran it for a couple of hours pulling a...
Thanks for the info. I have read conflicting info on that sensor. It works by advancing the timing to make it easier to crank when cold. I've read that not using it results in the timing being advanced all the time , and others have said it's the opposite - the timing is never advanced. It would...
It turned out to be the cold start sensor. That's embarrassing on my part because I had tested all the fuses and thought they were all good. My only excuse is that my hearing is bad and I can barely hear the beep on my multimeter; somehow thought I heard it on the starter fuse, but was imagining...
Thanks for the replies. Coby, that is the light, and it stays on when I turn the switch to the on position. I guess it's come on as I cranked it before, but it's never stayed on like this. I didn't even know what it meant until I looked it up in the manual. It may very well just be a coincidence...
I have a 2012 5075e that ran fine when I shut it down a week ago, and wouldn't crank yesterday. When I turn on the key, the air restriction light is on. That light has never been on before in the 10 years I've had it. I put under 100 hrs a year on it, and change the air filters annually. It...
This is the first I've read of the 2210 being "rare." One of the reasons that I bought mine was that Hoye said it was one of the best Yanmars to buy and one of their favorites. Here's a link to their article on the best and worst models:

I have a farm cabin my father and I built in 1979. We used 5v tin and nailed it down with lead-headed nails in the v. I had a limb fall through a panel about 10 years ago, and repaired it by simply laying a new piece of tin over the old and screwing it down. That is the only problem I've had...
Today was one of those days when Murphy's Law took over for me - anything that could go wrong did go wrong. I had some more road work I wanted to do before it starts back raining tomorrow, but the little 2210DB was due for my first oil change. I already had a filter, so I went to town and bought...
