    YT359 Third Function Options

    I have a YM347 and had dealer install the Yanmar kit at purchase so it would be covered under warranty. All metal lines up front.

    TODAYS SEAT TIME

    We’ve had decent rains in spring and summer. Roads on ranch are high with grass/dove weed. As we move towards late summer/fall we maintain the roads where we can feed deer year around without fear of fire. I spend 6 hours on YM347 with shredder. Had my EarPods in and life was good, even...

    Help me decide, 3 trucks I need to pick 1 from.

    I bought a 2024 2500HD w/ 6.6 GAS, Allison 10 speed. It replaced my older 2015 2500HD 6.6 DIESEL w/ Allison 6 speed. My diesel NEVER went back to dealer/service and I did all the maintenance on it. Best truck I’ve ever owned. But service and fuel prices as well as service on DIESEL priced it...

    Texas Fall/Winter thread!

    Back in fall, did lots of shredding. We’ve had a drought and lost lots of trees, so been cutting those up and using grapple to load into trailer for haul off. In the hardest of winter, the tractor has been ‘warm’ in garage and I’ve been getting fatter! HAHAHA. Pretty weather coming soon and...

    DK45S vs New Holland TC33D

    That TC is a nice rig. I’d stray from a hydro trans used, just me. I’ve also heard in hot weather when shredding (bush hog to ya’ll), they can heat up. HP, HP, HP. Which one has the closest local dealer? Best wishes.

    BAD ENGINE OIL

    I use QS 30wt in my 51 Willlys jeep. Always have. Oil pressure remains good and only change it once a year as it isn’t driven as much anymore. That shocked me. 30 wt is getting harder and harder to find.

    Planning to buy soon

    Same size place; I bought a Yanmar YM347A. I went to local dealer who sells Kioti and Yanmar. Deal was much better and tractor was overall larger than comparable K. I love this tractor. Higher ground clearance, larger frame, larger wheels, Cat I and Cat II hookup, greater lifting...

    Weld Table Rust?

    My table sits outside. I take a grinder to it when I need to weld. I occasionally spray with WD or wipe with motor oil. Seems to be ok.

    Do all HD pickups ride rough?

    Tires and tire pressure makes a difference for sure. I run my 24 2500HD with 60 in front and 65 in rear and get a smoother ride locally. Trips/hauling I’ll put them where GM says, and yes, They’re stiff.

    TODAY! We’re expecting up to 4” snow in Texas, so I thought I’d go fire up the genset and run it.

    Cool Or Creepy Things Found In The Bush Or On Your Property

    Some time back my dad, now deceased 2 years, and I were out spring turkey hunting on our ranch. While looking for a downed bird dad stumbled across a rock. It had an arrow scribed in the top of it. Realizing it was an old marker, I GPS’d it and we protected it IN PLACE where cows couldn’t...

    540E for shredding/rotary cutting

    Kinda what I was thinking. Thanks.

    540E for shredding/rotary cutting

    I’ve got a new YM347 and a 6’ shredder. My first cuts have been with std. 540 PTO. I am not familiar with 540E and would like to hear from those that have been using it. My tractor runs PTO at high RPM’s and I would say its good on fuel with 540 anyway. Std 540 @ 2783 rpm 540E @ 2016 rpm...

    YT359 Optional 3rd Function

    I added the Yanmar third function on my new YM347 for use with the grapple. Single button. Press/hold the button and it diverts flow from the curl/dump features to open/close the grapple. I would say its an electric diverter valve.

    Top n Tilt

    Called WR Long about tnt for my new YM347. Was told their website is not up to date as they’re in beginnings of offering kits. Was told the build engineer would go to local Yanmar dealer and spec exact unit for build. Pricing was on the upper end and they use restrictors in their build kit...

    A question of grapples

    My grapple is an Armstrong Ag BGR64-5 and opens approx 60”. I run it with Yanmar 47 hp tractor. Its lower tines are .75” thick. It’s 610 lbs. I have cut trees and stacked in piles of logs approx 6 to 8 ft and brush about the same to longer. I can pick up quite a bit and dump in trailer...

    Where is my hydraulic fluid going??

    Good questions and answers……… My new Yanmar was hard to detect, too. So I added a bit, maybe 1/2 qt, to see if anything changed. It didn’t. I notice sometimes when working with loader/grapple, fluid level will drop into NORMAL and the color of the indicator is a true WHITE when not covered...

    Grill Insert - YM347A

    Checked lights before dark yesterday, all seems fine. I don’t believe this will affect air flow at all. I’m more concerned about the pre-filter at the radiator than this. I always keep an eye on gauges. Appreciate the heads up.

    Which lawn tractor to buy?

    I have a John Deere X320 from the JD dealer. Love it. I also have a Husqvarna. They are both good mowers, but the JD X320 is a better overall machine.

    Bush Hog - Mower rec for Mahindra 5155

    I am on the SOLD agenda at my dealer for 23 Yanmar YM347A; grapple, shredder. I researched the 72” shredders and have concerns with the lighter ones tackling the mesquite/brush on my place. I chose the Bush-Whacker HD72. It is supposed to eat up to 3”, so while I won’t do that, it is a heavy...

    Root Grapple

    Going to buy either a LS 4041/47 or Kioti DK45/50SE. Need a grapple to clean up brush and trees. Been hearing a 48" grapple will work best. Will run off of remote levers supplied with tractor. Don't want to spend a ton on a grapple, but don't want a cheap-o either. Looking at Wildkat...

    LS Tractors

    Considering an LS tractor.......Do you feel they are a well enough established company to handle all future sales, parts, service, warranty, etc? It's between Kioti and LS. THANKS

    Can someone tell me which type hoses I need to run from the rear remotes to the front end loader to operate a grapple? This is for a compact tractor in the 40-45 hp rating. Also, any places to buy/order on the net at the best price. 3/8" i would susspect. THANKS. A Kioti DK 40 SE or LS...
