I don't want to think about the alternative! :ROFLMAO:

New recommendation: Taylor-way 3-pt finish mower. I have an older Taylor-way 60" finish mower, and it does a great job. Their customer support was great when I had to replace a wheel. They do have a 72" finish mower available through Rural King (and other places I'm sure.)

My recommendation is to contact Hoye and ask if they can drop it in a padded envelope. I have found them to be great to work with in the past.

Hi guys, It looks like I have another problem that may also be contributing to making my tractor being hard to start. I noticed coolant seaping out of the head gasket seam. It's very slow; no puddle under the tractor, just a small number of drops that got the concrete wet plus some drips hanging...

So, what is the proper way to operate the thermostart? I filled the little cup with fuel. How long do I turn the key to the left, until I hear something or smell smoke? Thanks! Cheers, G

Hi guys, I had a lot of trouble getting my YM2210 started a week ago. I wanted to clear away some of the snow drifts. It was fairly cold, ~25 F, but it got a lot colder after that. It took me about 45 minutes to get it started. I had a magnetic heater attached to the bottom of the crank case to...

Just a quick update. I used my hiller yesterday. I set the discs at the same width as the rear tires, angled them in and drove backward down the rows -- this moves the nicely tilled dirt before I run it over with the tires. I adjusted the hillers inward a few inches each and ran down the rows a...

Hi all, I've been thinking for a few years now that I really need to add some weight to the front of my tractor to help with picking up heavy implements more safely etc. I've seen some of the things you all have done and finally took the plunge. I started with some 4" square steel tubing (1/8"...

Would anyone who has a Yanmar emblem (like the one pictured below) be willing to loan it to me so that I can make a mold or be willing to make a mold to send me? Making a mold of it in plaster of paris should be easy. The mold could be filled with a plastic, then the plastic emblem painted with...

FYI, I saw this on Ebay -- NOT ME SELLING IT. I don't know what model it is for, but it's not the right one for my YM2210. If anyone knows where I can get one for mine, please speak up! :D Yanmar tractor hood emblem | eBay

I decided to do a few little things. The biggest thing was adding a work light facing to the rear with a switch. I could have really used this a couple weeks ago when I was finishing up loading some limbs onto my trailer as it was getting dark. There was already an unused hot wire running to...

A recent thread had a link to a for-sale ad with a Yanmar that had a modified exhaust. I just found another one. Here are pics from both. I like the idea of the exhaust blowing out the back instead of up right over the hood... What do you all think about this exhaust mod?

If anyone is interested, here is a link to my Craigslist ad for my YM1700. Part of the deal with my wife was that I would sell this one if I bought the YM2210... :( Tractor 20 HP Diesel Yanmar YM1700

I noticed on my new YM2210 that the clutch starts making a grinding noise if I push the pedal too far. The clutch seems to be working and gears shift fine, but if I try to push it to the floor, it starts making this grinding noise. Is this normal? :confused: There is a little metal angle under...

Is there a source somewhere that has the speeds achieved in different gears for Yanmar tractors? I thought I remembered seeing this somewhere, but I can't find it. I am personally interested in seeing them for the YM1700 and YM2210...
