2 cyl vs 3 cyl

[kenmac]

2 cyl. or 3 cyl. be sure to get the power shift mod.I have a 3110 which is a 3 cyl. & she runs smooth. I can't speak for the 2 cyl. as I haven't owned one

Mike, I have talked with Luke in the past. Unfortunately I don’t offer what he is looking for so I had to refer him to other dealers. I am positive they will be able to help him.

P.S. 2 cylinders reign supreme, highest torque per hp, low fuel consumption; they do have more noise and feel like they have more vibration. Actually they are more in balance than a 3 cylinder and the parts are built heavier so they tend to have a longer lifespan. I had a 50hp 2 cylinder for a long time and it was awesome.

I have a 3 cyl Yanmar and it seems to be very fuel efficient, I have no complaints. I'd agree with Kenmac, I love the powershift feature on my model.

EFC....Buck,

You must be thinkin of someone else. I just looked at your website and I'm sure we've never spoke, swapped emails, spit.. or anything else. I'll be calling you tommarow as I really am in the market for a tractor..thanks!

Sorry about that I had talked to a Luke from Alaska just a week earlier. I shouldn’t have assumed it was you.

I have owned both. A 1700 and now a 2020. There is no contest for me, the 3 cylinder wins hands down. It it much smoother and I really can't tell any difference in the fuel consumption and I've not ask it to do anything that it doesn't have the power to do. I recently bush hogged 7 acres with my 5' cutter in brush I would have to ride down with my front loader. When I loaded it up and went to fill up it took 2.8 gallons of diesel to refill it.

By the way the Power shift is awesome, and I really love the 20 series with the shifter on the dash.
