Looks like a sketchy setup to me. Yanmar 187 had full subframe for the bucket. Why they go away from that?

Honestly my Home Depot has been selling KAravan utility trailers and I’ve had my 5x10 for 4 years. Single axel with removable drop gate and drop sides and front rails. 2700 load rated and with that much sand recently it barely squatted the springs. 15” tires, PT wood deck.

This past summer I had some woods work to do and its very uneven terrain. It was the first time I had it out since I changed the oil last and had installed a new power steering system. Unfortunately I put a 'long' filter on the motor and did not know that in an extreme articulation of the front...

. This is the newer double wide feet they just stared delivering. Then I bolted on some 1/2 UHMW on the bottom of them and it worked well. Slides on pavement. When I get into my grass I lift the 3pt a few inches and off we go. Otherwise it would become a power rake.

Woodmaxx new wider feet with my added 1/2" uhmw plastic added to bottom. Seems just right height for my imperfect paved / patched up driveway.

I was able to make a snow cab JD sells for their x500 lawn mower which sells cheap on eBay all the time. I Liked it over the others as it’s got a real door. I made it fit under my fabricated canopy but if not there I would have it over the ROPS. Nice quality.

Retro fit the HOYE cylinder only. Needed one hose extension and bigger hole in frame bracket for the 18mm rod end.

I also have the electrical controls. Very big motor and has worked well so far 0 degrees a few days ago. Only thing I did not like was no stops so could rotate forever and rip out my chute actuator wiring. Sure I could have wired up some limit switches but sawing off a few teeth do I have a dead...

Well here is what you need to buy: just shorten that tie rod that goes from the steering box about 6" and it will all bolt right up.

Here is a picture of my modified chute to give it a dead spot so it does not over rotate with the electric s. Also here is a picture of the “big foot” pad that mine came with.

Here is the tire and no issues ever with clearance.

Best option on front tires and rims was at a new Yanmar dealer. Sold me a set of tires and rims for the front for about $180 total. I don't have the part number but they are in their parts catalog, come mounted. The 4 bolt front axels are still used so its the same as what was on the showroom...

This is what was in the manual from my tractor.
