I have no experience with a 520, but the 553 on my 2012 5075e has been through all sorts of abuse and hasn't given a moment of trouble in 12 years. I mainly use the tractor in forestry work, and use the loader more as dozer blade than a loader.
It has pushed down countless trees, dug ditches...
I had some things going on and just made it back to the farm and my tractor yesterday. I tried to crank the tractor, and it wouldn't. It turned over a couple of times, but not fast enough to crank it. So I did as suggested and ran a jumper cable from battery+ to the starter and it cranked...
Thanks, that sounds like really good advice. I had a problem with the negative cable ground a few years ago and I have cleaned it well. I don't think it's the problem, but could be wrong.
Running the tests with jumper cables is a great idea. I will do that and let everyone know, but it may be...
Sorry, I mean it will turn the engine over and crank it fine the rest of the day. When I try to crank it first thing in the morning, the battery doesn't have enough power to turn it over. It sounds exactly like you would expect from a weak battery. When I connect the booster, it couldn't crank...
My 2012 5075e came with a great OEM battery that lasted over 8 years. Finally had to replace it and tried a group 27 marine battery because that was the size that would fit. It worked ok except when really cold, but was done after 3 years. For the last few months, I had to jump it off every...
I use the Pat's system with a little 26hp Yanmar, but I didn't like it with my 75 hp JD. I switched it back to the telescoping lift arms that came standard on the 5210. I haven't found another system that works as well as those do for changing attachments by myself.
For anyone who hasn't used...
I am pretty sure that my 2012 5075e is designed in a similar manner to yours. I actually traded a 5210 for this one. I had an experience a lot like you have described a couple of years after I bought it.
I had not used the tractor for a couple of weeks and ran it for a couple of hours pulling a...
Thanks for the info. I have read conflicting info on that sensor. It works by advancing the timing to make it easier to crank when cold. I've read that not using it results in the timing being advanced all the time , and others have said it's the opposite - the timing is never advanced. It would...
It turned out to be the cold start sensor. That's embarrassing on my part because I had tested all the fuses and thought they were all good. My only excuse is that my hearing is bad and I can barely hear the beep on my multimeter; somehow thought I heard it on the starter fuse, but was imagining...
Thanks for the replies. Coby, that is the light, and it stays on when I turn the switch to the on position. I guess it's come on as I cranked it before, but it's never stayed on like this. I didn't even know what it meant until I looked it up in the manual. It may very well just be a coincidence...
I have a 2012 5075e that ran fine when I shut it down a week ago, and wouldn't crank yesterday. When I turn on the key, the air restriction light is on. That light has never been on before in the 10 years I've had it. I put under 100 hrs a year on it, and change the air filters annually. It...
This is the first I've read of the 2210 being "rare." One of the reasons that I bought mine was that Hoye said it was one of the best Yanmars to buy and one of their favorites. Here's a link to their article on the best and worst models:

I have a farm cabin my father and I built in 1979. We used 5v tin and nailed it down with lead-headed nails in the v. I had a limb fall through a panel about 10 years ago, and repaired it by simply laying a new piece of tin over the old and screwing it down. That is the only problem I've had...
Today was one of those days when Murphy's Law took over for me - anything that could go wrong did go wrong. I had some more road work I wanted to do before it starts back raining tomorrow, but the little 2210DB was due for my first oil change. I already had a filter, so I went to town and bought...
I've got a Fredrickson 2210db with a FEL that I have posted about several times here. We are in an extreme drought here in AL and I've been taking advantage of it by doing a lot of work around the creeks on my property. I've made some crossings and dug out in front of culverts and just made...
I hooked up the rear blade on my 5075e last weekend and found that one of the rear hyd is stuck. The tractor came with only one rear remote from the factory, so I had the dealer install a second one for operation of this blade. It's the only equipment I own that uses the rear remotes, so it...
I know this is a dumb question. I have serviced my own tractors for many years, but this is the first 4wd I've ever owned and my first time to change the oil in the mfwd axle. The directions seem straightforward enough, but I don't understand some of the terminology in the specifications listed...
I wonder if I could get you folk's opinion on my latest issue with my tractor? This is the 2210BD that I bought from Fredricks last summer and it blew a head gasket the first time I used it hard. Fredricks took care of it under the warranty, though the warranty is out now. Since getting it back...
Anyone got an idea on mounting a tool box on a 2210BD? It has a loader on it and there just isn't a good place I can see to put one. I'm not talking about anything big - just something to hold a hammer, adjustable wrench, pliers, etc. The only idea I have now is to remove the grab handle on top...
Hello to all the Yanmar folks! :)
I've read a good bit in this forum lately as I researched the Fredricks rebuilt Yanmars. I'm just a couple of hours south of them, so I rode up there last week and wound up buying a 2210BD with a 120 loader. They are still working on it and I hope they can...
I've got a 400 acre farm in AL that has about 50 acres of open land and the rest is in forest. I've been keeping it up with a JD5210 in 2 wd and D3B Cat Dozer with a 6 way blade. I bought the Dozer 6 years ago to clear 20 acres of land and to build several miles of fire lanes. I burn about 125...
5210 won\'t start
Hello to all - I have a 1999 model 5210 that has only about 700 hours on it. It has never given a minute's trouble until a few weeks ago. It ran great the last time I used it, and then it wouldn't crank the next week. It was kinda cold, and it didn't seem to be turning over...
I wonder if any of you good folks could help me with a problem I am having with a sprayer? It was made by Wallberg Sprayer of NC and has never worked right. I bought it new 3 years ago and am about ready to give up on it.
This a sprayer that utilizes a 55 gallon drum for the tank. A line...
