1403 tiller

My guess is your soil can't be as solid as mine in the Ga. clay mix. Here's a pic of what to expect with it RS1400 new Tines. This soil was rock hard but with the new tines and my Bridgestone rice patty tires it went right through it easily 1st pass. This was my mother's garden and only tilled with a Briggs and Stratton 5hp. walk behind. Steve @ Spalding told me what I needed but he didn't have one. Said it would be well worth my while to go to Fredricks and pic. one up. Man was he right!! Only one they had available at that time but they assured me it would work just no rear Wheels. And Did it!!! Grandmaw loved it!! Check this out. 2nd.Yr. owning it First turn of the Season. Buried, Low as it would go in this Pic.. Look at the Exhaust not much Blk. smoke. Almost effortless for the YM2000.

yes sir, gotcha. I set my holes at 4.5" apart on the extention plts., did it make a diff.. And not too much strain on r. hyd.. Another question, is when you add an impliment. Do you snug up the chains on lower lifting arms, or leave some slack? I center whatever attachment is on 3pt., and snug it up. So theres not alot of sway, but not tight enough to break anything if attachment gets in a bind. Just thought some will find this helpful to know. Thanx to all for the insight / knowledge. Happy Trails

Carey, yeah i have no problems pulling. I would say, w/o good tines that two passes got me where i needed to be. As far as getting down far enough. Had to strap a cedar post on for weight. My wifes garden spot is about a 30' x 30' area. But i also, use tiller to knock down humps / mounds around the property, then the bucket. Makes for an easy way to level out yard. Now looking for a small 3pt disk. Don't know what size is best for this size tractor? Thoughts

Well, the Yanmar Tractor Owners Group FOUND the manual for your tiller recently.
main groups.io Group

Sorry it doesn't have a cover page ... yet. We now have over 24 Yanmar tiller manuals from that era.
