They do have an EGR. They also have a DPF but not DEF.

Can you share the link where the information is?

There is a Yanmar Owner's App that will calculate PTO speed. This will show 540 as well as other speeds if needed.

It will free wheel when in N or when the clutch is pressed. You can stop in forward or reverse by simply pressing the brake. The clutch can be used as an inching pedal or to help disconnect implements by relieving pressure.

It holds better than a hydrostatic transmission. When a hydrostatic transmission is overloaded (pressure over relief) on a hill, it will start to move rapidly. Due to the method the i-HMT works, it holds with little more than a creep.

All SA loaders have a float function. As for suggestions, check all of your connections to ensure they are fully inserted into the quick connect and in the correct quick connect. The next thing to check would be the hoses coming from the lift valve to the loader valve. Another thing to check...

Is you quick hitch adjusted as to where the lower-links do not swing side to side? Loose three-point hitch with any weight on it can be like a hammer tapping the cast.

Fuel quality is definitely a factor. Yanmar has yet to approve the use of fuel additives or the renewable diesel, so use at your own risk. The best way to prevent unnecessary regens is to use the lowest biodiesel blend available (B7, 7% or less is most desirable), run the engine at higher...

Did you change both the fuel water separator and fuel filter? Have you checked to see if the lift pump is pumping fuel properly? When you turn the key on, does the fuel rack click once, twice, or shutter? Have you checked the amperage to the fuel rack to insure the pull coil is actually...

This is not a common issue. As is with anything that is manufactured, you will have failures, some manufacturing, some abuse by the end user. Not sure what the issue is with the axle leak without looking at it, but it isn't common.

The dealer is not correct on this. The YT3 tractors have 5 stages of regeneration. The first stage happens automatically and is called self. The next is assist, and it also happens automatically but closes the intake valve slightly to create heat to burn soot. The third is called reset...

03 is the indicator for a diagnostic trouble code that is detected by the transmission ECU. It has nothing to do with the DPF, as that code would begin with 00. This is for a deceleration sensor, multiple failure.

You mentioned working on the hills earlier. One of the least talked about things is how the tractor will almost stop when on hills with the accelerator released. I work with all hydrostatic, gear driven shuttle shift, and i-HMT transmissions and the i-HMT has the best control going down a hill...

It would help to know what model of tractor it is. Is the PTO on? Is it in the neutral position? This will vary by tractor model. Is the park brake set? If this is an SA tractor, try to start with the brake pedal pressed harder, the switch could be out of adjustment. Also move your forward...

Idling will cause more frequent regens. Also, when the regen light comes on and blinks every 2 seconds you should press it until it starts and continue working. If it is blinking every second with a yellow lamp and diagnostic trouble code of 00 00E87.16, you should do a stationary or parked...
