Thanks everyone for the advice. I removed the exhaust, gave it a good clean with petrol, changed all filters and running at a higher RPM, problem seems to have been solved :). If the problem returns, I'll try turning the exhaust 90 degrees.

I'll give it a clean hopefully this weekend and see how we go. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

Thanks for the link, it certainly seems to make sense as I do tend to use it in lower revs.

A few pics to show the extent of the problem.

I'll give the cleaning a go. Already tried the turning 90 degrees facing forward which didn't seem to help, the wind just blows it all back in your face :) .

I've adjusted the lift arms and the grader now sits firmly flat on the ground when lowered, thanks for you're help. This picture shows it more clearly. It is hinged and held at a right angle by the attached chain. Worked ok when dragging it around with only one bar touching the ground so should...

3 Point Linage Question - Can anybody help ? I am a complete novice when it comes to tractor ownership. I have recently been given a grader for our ménage. I've hooked it up to my Yanmar, but the height of the grader mounting pins means that only part of the grader touches the ground, although...

Hi, Just taken delivery of my YM1610 for our small holding. I've taken it for a spin and really like the powershift. I'm a complete novice when it comes to tractors (or any type of mechanics) and was hoping for a bit of advice. I have ordered new fuel, air and oil filters in order to give it a...
