    Comparison Shuttle shift or hydrostat?? Is the extra costs worth it in a 50hp-ish cab tractor for pto power (brush hogging)

    An easy way to solve this is to buy the Yanmar YT347 or YT359 because you have the IHMT tranny which gives you the power of the shuttle shift and the ease of the hydro, this is the only smaller tractor with this tranny that is usually only found in much larger tractors. Hands down the nicest...

    4310 Rear Hydraulic Couplings

    just a heads up if you have any problem with the valve as I did on my 3039R after not using it for a few years I took the valve apart and polished the spool and the inside of the valve body and it started to work again. Good luck

    Planning to buy soon

    If you have a Yanmar dealer go look at the YT347/YT359 they are a really nice tractor and the cab is a little smaller that some of the other tractors but it is very comfortable and you will find that the IHMT tranny is great and you won't find that on any of the other tractors in that class...

    United refining in Warren PA they own most of the convenience stores in the area and they set the price for fuel so all the other stations follow the price gouging.

    Diesel today

    Here in NW Pennsylvania we have some of the highest fuel prices around due to a monopoly by the local refinery that owns about 85% of all gas stations in the area ( gas is $3.45) diesel is around $4.09 but I just bought off road this week for $2.75 but I was just across the state line in Ohio...

    YT359c Dealer states insurance from Yanmar will be $10,000.

    Had the dealer add the rear work lights and I got LED bulbs for the front lights and they are much brighter and they were cheap.

    Wanting to buy new tractor

    you can use it but it isn't required but it does make it easy to shift the range lever and if you want to ease into a tight spot but for normal use it is like a forklift or back hoe just shift into forward or reverse and it works really well.

    YT359c Dealer states insurance from Yanmar will be $10,000.

    I did not finance through Yanmar but I do have a policy on mine because home owners only covers you when you are on the property and I trailer mine to a few places so I have a personal article policy with state farm and it is about $480 a year but I have the tractor valued at 48K so I feel it is...

    Wanting to buy new tractor

    If you can find A Yanmar dealer anywhere close sounds like the YT359 would be perfect and you will really like the IHMT tranny, I traded my Case 45C in on this and it has twice the power and I have the YT347 which has a little smaller engine but it is a great tractor with a ten year warranty at...

    TYM T494H or Yanmar YT347

    Well I have owned 3 JD tractors and 1 case and now I have the Yanmar YT347 with a cab and it seems that the TYM is a nice machine but you need to remember that for a long time Yanmar built most of the John Deere compact tractors so they are pretty good at building tractors. As far as the IHMT is...

    Is a subcompact under 25hp enough power?

    I also had the woodland mills grinder and it is a good machine but it this video they are only grinding old rotten stumps there is a big difference when you grind a fresh cut stump it takes a lot more power and a lot longer. If you only have a few small stumps it will work fine but if they are...
