    Need Proper Battery For My 2610

    I purchased my 2610 about 6 months ago with what appeared to be a new battery (55 month waranty). I went out yesterday to find the battery dead and when I tried to jump it the battery smoked as I tried to turn the tractor over. When I was removing the battery I noticed it was much smaller...

    Oil & Fuel  Ran out of fuel!

    After reading all the posts on this board about the process of repriming a deisel engine I swore I'd never let it happen to me. I've only had my yanmar for 3 weeks now and I've already done it - ran my tank dry! I retrieved a couple of wrenches, screwdrivers and put on a pair of rubber gloves...

    Taking delivery of my first Yanmar this afternoon!

    I finally found the right tractor after a seemingly endless search. Thanks guys for all the good advice and answers to my numerous posts on this (and other) forums. I ended up finding just what I wanted only 30 miles from home and the guy was willing to deliver for free. I decided on a YM2610...

    Almost ready to purchase a Yanmar

    I am almost ready to take the plunge and purchase my first tractor. Just wanted some last minute advice. First, I always hear people say the average guy buys more tractor than he needs. Well, I have 3 acres and I plan to pull a 5' tiller and/or a 6' disk to work up the ground before I seed my...
