At that price? i'd consider getting one from Yanmar that you know would fit perfectly and work. I did ask about adding a 3rd function and I don't remember the price installed...but if you can find the part, installing shouldn't be a big deal...

Got a call from a Corporate Yanmar rep. They're surveying customers. Basic questions: how satisfied are you with your tractor? Would you recommend us to a friend? Have you contacted Yanmar and were they responsive? I took the opportunity to discuss the dealer network needing to be built...

I will agree with this. If Money and Storage Space are no factor....by all means, get the backhoe attachment. Just know they're limited in use, especially on a compact tractor; they don't have the swing range, capacity/power of a dedicated machine, etc... I found a friend with a BX w/Backhoe...

I don't...but a good "hose shop" should be able to make something work for you.

Friend advised me "I own a 200 acres and wouldn't buy one...rent it the handful of times you need one...way better to get other attachments you will use"...he was 100% right. They're 30%+ cost of most compact tractors and I might/could have used it a few times, but not anything I regularly need...

So far so good...about 20 hours and I did 5 truck loads of dirt for 15 years of deferred lawn maintenance. Filling in rings around trees from the mower, wash out/erosion issues, covering up rocks, you name it. Used the loader and back dragged most of it. Float mode with the box blade (it...

Find the largest hydraulic hose maker in your area...take in your link and remove one of the quick attaches. That's 100% the way to get it right the first time. I did that, but went to a small "farm" hose maker and they didn't have the smaller 3/8" JIC or banjos. #lessonlearned

Sell a bazillion motors or a few with a tractor attached? They just need to catch up...great product, needs a better dealer network is all.

Finally got them correct. You could get the entire thing made without the bsp pipe threads also if the shop had the right compression fittings. Parts: 31" hose 3/8" 3/8 JIC to BSP banjo 3/8 BSP banjo bolt Copper washers for banjo 90' bsp to qpp Male 3/8" NPT (m and f part number below...

If you join Yanmars website they are pretty responsive. My local dealer I bought from did have the TF500 ...after the kid sai they didn't I walked over to their parts shelf and picked up a jug of it, then he spent 20 min trying figure out how much it cost...finally said "How does $35...

Mine was a tick over $500 for $28K in value TN 2023

I went through the same rodeo with my agent: "It's covered by Home owners"...but not if you leave your yard...and after HUGE Deductible...also goes against your total contents. Bought a commercial Policy for about $500 per year covers the machine, me, liability, Property Damage, etc...no one...

I'm installing led light bars...next project. The OEM bulbs are " lights in name only"...;)

Installed the Broken Anvil Grill Guard. Took about 30min. Fit the grill with the lower bolts and some clamps. Marked the mounting tab holes, center punch, 1/8" pilot hole, then step bit to 11/16ths. Paint the inside of the steel and snug it up. Pretty straight forward. Super high quality...

Aaaaannnnd....the JD fluid isn't "the same"...🤌🤌 I called today to ***** and got the owners Cell. He said they have the fluids...I spoke with their "lot boy" and he "doesn't know anything and shouldn't be answering the phone"...;)

Bought mine from a new dealer in Tennessee…called them yesterday to ask about TF500A…they have zero oil, filters, etc…on hand…”we are going to have stuff soon…I can have so and so call you back”….no call back. went to JD and bought J20C…apparently the same…thank god for the forums. I’m going...

Start at the switch and fuses…meter them….likely problem. Getting hands on a manual would help. Short of that…work backwards and eliminate the easy switch and fuse. Example: you check for continuity at the pins at the switch (removed)…if the they work it’s not the switch….move to the pins in...

As for the grill…yes…it helps. I did just order a grill guard today from Broken Anvil. Cheap Insurance

It’s worth a try. The grapple is good for grabbing and pulling up shrubs, etc….but it’s kind of like a backhoe…most people use it a few times and it’s a $$$ boat anchor after that. If I had a grapple it would sit more than it worked. Let me know what you end up doing.

Yes...call them. They are re-doing their website, they said. It can be installed over the tooth bar. I've considered adding one, also. The advantage you'll have, since you already have the bar installed, is the hardware is already installed for the bar, so you can install this and adjust...

On the SLAB vs. Basement discussion: I had the decision made for me. I'm in TN and the amount of rock to just get this level (we broke an industrial ROCK HAMMER on this job) meant no basement. The owner of the Building Supply suggested I do storage up....since I was trying to match the style...

Not to send you away from this good discussion, but when I built mine this resource was invaluable. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/

I've had Husqvarna battery system blower and weed eater for about 4 years. The original 2 batteries are both doing a "I may or may not work today" mode. Bought a replacement battery...$179. These are used very sparingly...as I have gas stuff and these are for blowing off the porch and...

Last night had another tree branch go down at a tenant's house. Laying on the roof over a "good" tree, luckily, it didn't do any damage. I will have to take down another "Y" off that tree when the weather breaks and will take some better pics of the tractor in action. We dropped it and pulled...

I'm sure it would have worked....for about 1 PULL...LOL. Or I could have glued it into the DOWN position permanently. But hey...your results may vary.

When I bought my SA425, I got a package deal: Tractor, Box Blade, 5' Rotary Cutter, Canopy (which I've not put on), and the 18' Trailer. I added a Landscape Rake to the deal. I've not used the BOX BLADE yet, but the Rotary works great (Agri X ATLAS Agri "X Rotary Cutter » Darrell Harp...

That's the brand I originally ordered...different SKU, and that is the correct pin configuration. IDK if the amperage makes any difference or if the switch is anymore "robust" for the extra $5, but luckily Amazon had free returns. #goodintel

Order in. Once I get it, I'll take it to Nashville Hose and Gasket and get the hydraulics fitted. I'll post details and pics when completed. Thanks for the assist and the referral.

It was a real eye opener as to the number of "sticky outie" parts on the left side of the cockpit. #beware 😜😜😜

The dealer at HAY suggested 31-34" long on the hoses. And we went through the length, and I think the CLASS 1 on this is a bit longer than some of the other brands in this COMPACT SIZE. He was shocked at the 26" adjusted length of the stock Top link. But agreed that it was the right call to...

If you wear painter pants with a Hammer Loop...it could snap off your PTO Switch when you jump out of the cockpit. Ask me how I know!!! So the original switch says "DELTA 6204" There were no exact examples that I could find for sale easily. Amazon had similar switches from JEENDA and a...

Spoke with the HAY rep. I'll have to have the hoses made because of the 3/8ths fittings. He doesn't have them in stock for the Yanmar (not a huge deal). Very helpful, he's going to advise on the specifics for me. I'll keep you posted. BONUS FACT UPDATE: My PTO switch from AMAZON did not...

Appreciate the assist. I have a message for them as of this AM. If you have access to your order or receipt (I'm sure they know their craft, but a belt and suspenders never hurt anyone), maybe it's on there? I"m looking forward to getting this upgrade done. Ran my Landscape rake this weekend for...

My LINK level and on the ground is 26"...so I'd assume a Cat. 1-1 with Locking Block 20 7/8” - 31 7/8” is the correct size. Can you confirm the length and fitting type you had made?

I'm going to give them a call Monday. I measured straight line 24" from the middle of the toplink to the outside Female valve connector flat on the ground. Do you know what length hoses you went with? It looks like a HNV-38-12sae male is the correct fitting.

I did a search (I SWEAR!!). I'm looking to do a Hydraulic top link on my new Yanmar. If anyone has already done one, would you like to share where you ordered and what you ordered? I'm going to run through the "How To" video I've found on YouTube, but if someone has already done the work...

Fingers Crossed! :) I'm really happy with it so far. Thanks for the welcome.

I've been lurking and finally pulled the trigger on a new SA425. Brought it home Saturday. I picked up a package with a Box Blade and 48" Rotary Cutter; I added a Landscape Rake. Did some minor dirt work....my good dirt pile is currently a mud bog, and it's not spreading well. I took the...
