Our ponds on the duckclub are just drying up now and was hoping to get some advice on the best way to open up some of the ponds that are getting choked out with bullrush/tules. What are the different cutting attachments anyone has used to mow these things down with good effect? Looking for...
Someone may have already figured this out, but thought I would post up here to help out. I found a pretty good rattle can match for the light blue on the import Mitsubishi tractors. I am currently touching up a D1500 and the paint if found is Krylon Contractor formula #5842. It is a very close...
Just pulled my fuel tank on my 1401d while I had the rest of it apart for painting. Had alot of muck on the outside of the tank which cleaned off easily with soap and water. Drained it and found some gritty stuff in the bottom of the tank along with the usual dirt. Any suggestions on what to put...
My 1401d has a label above the key starter switch that has four positions; TS OFF ON START. Anyone know what the TS stands for and what it does when you turn the key to that position?
Anyone out there have an 1802D? Anyone with an opinion about it one way or the other? Parts problems? Hard to get parts? Being a Yanmar its got to be mostly good, but I have heard rumors about some hard parts being unavailable new for some models, like front axles for the 1500D and stuff like...
The subject of foot throttles on the imported yannies came up in the other post about engines. With that in mind, which imported models have a factory foot throttle and which ones don't?
Does anyone know who makes a box scraper with manual rippers that are all let down at once by way of a lever and indexed to various depths and what would one expect to pay for one? I have seen one before (48") but cannot remember the make and it was on a John Deere 20hp 4x4 (770). The only ones...
I have heard reference to RICE tires on the gray market tractors and I assume that this means they were designed for running a tiller in the rice paddies in Japan. How are they different than our normal ag tires in the U.S.?
On most of the pictures of imported tractors on the net that I have...
I just got off the phone with a guy that is selling a 1500D with a loader and box scraper for $6500. He said that the only thing wrong that he knows of is that it uses about a 1/4 quart of oil every 40 hours under hard use. Is this within reasonable limits? He said he has only put about 100 hrs...
I have been looking for a yanmar but was turned onto a Mitsubishi MT16D today, does anyone know if the gray mitsubishis are easier to get parts for and if, unlike the gray yanmars, actual shop/operators manuals are available for them, or are only parts lists available? How bout for the MT16D...
Several questions from a soon to be Yanmar buyer:
Which model is the most popular 1300d, 1401d, 1500d? By most popular I mean more of them owned and parts support. Any dealers out there who want to say which is their top selling model.
Also, do any of these three tractor models have a...
