    Importing used equipment into US

    Hopefully someone here with importing experience can give me some direction on this; I'd be interested in knowing what kinds of hurdles (legal/regulation/fees) are involved with importing used agricultural equipment into the US from Europe. FWIW, the equipment i'm thinking of is other than...

    Convert 186d to dash/column shifter?

    The first year out (or maybe two years), the powershift lever on the Yanmar 186d was mounted on the "floor", with a large metal bracket/shift gate that surrounds the lever. In subsequent years, they put the powershift lever on the dash, to the left of the column, so it could be shifted with the...

    Create a PTO by "reverse-application" of a PTO-driven hydraulic pump?

    The goal: Make a low-horsepower PTO for installation on a vehicle (mini-truck) that does not have one. (But DOES have a hydraulic pump). The idea: Take a PTO-driven hydraulic pump (originally used to power a sickle-bar mower) and connect it to the existing hydraulic pump on the mini truck...

    Side-delivery bed former?

    I'd like to build a bed-forming attachment to be mounted on the rear of a 4ft tiller.

    Possible to regulate 3pt hitch lift rate? (YM186d)

    Not wanting to hijack the other threads, opened a new one.. Yes i noticed that too-- sure would be nice to be able to adjust this. The 3pt on mine pretty much SLAMS my tiller to the up position. Think this may have even caused a previous problem with dislodging a retaining ring inside the PTO...

    Changing drive shaft seal on RS1200 tiller pictorial

    Here are some photos of replacing a leaking drive shaft seal on an RS1200 tiller, in case it can be of use to somebody. After removing the 4 bolts around the input shaft, the whole assembly pulls straight out (there's some suction resistance due to the o-ring seal). Job is pretty...

    broken PTO

    Tried out my used RS1200 tiller for the first time today, on my YM 186D. Had been tilling my 50 foot garden (soft, sandy loam, no rocks, a few minor roots) for 3 passes, stopping the tiller at the end of each pass. At the end of the 3rd pass, i raised the tiller, stopped, and clutched to...

    Industrial tires-- experience/opinions?

    Hi My 186d needs new tires, and i'm considering the merits of setting it up with industrial tread tires (as in the attached photo). I'd like something that could give good traction when needed in loose dirt, but also that would not be as hard on grass as typical ag bar treads. I don't need...
