Closest Deere to a Yanmar 2610?

[bmaverick]

Spoke to my dealer a little bit ago. He is ttrying a couple of things to get me the 2610 without the loader. He said he would take the loader off one for me but heç—´ afraid he would be stuck with the loader if Fredricks is only willing to sell them with. He said give him until Saturday and heç—´ try to have me one by then.

The 2420 is only two hp less. That does not bother me as much as the drop in frame size. Plus, I think it is less than $500 to move from the 2420 up to the 2610.

Well, that YM2420 would have the 3T84H engine. There are parts for it, but not as broad as the YM2500/YM2610. I do believe the YMXX20 has the OE power steering. That drop in Hp is the balance point for running small hay balers. The YM2610 can in most instances run the 25Hp haying equipment with a little wiggle room should the bailing be on rolling pasture vs. a flat field. Plus as you had mentioned the frame size, less twisting. There must be a reason why John Deere picked the YM2500 frame and engine with nearly zero modifications. And the JD-850/JD-950 (YM2500) wasn't built for a few years, but a decade. That frame for the JD-850 built 30852 units and the same frame 31853 for the JD-950.

Another benefit with the YM2500 is, you know that you know what attachments and mods can be done to the JD-850. The 3T80/3T90 engine can take a TURBO. It's been done more than once. And Yanmar did if for the JD-1050 based off of the 950 engine, the 3T90. The 3T80 & 3T90 share many engine parts too. Thus, when you got the YM2500 or YM2610, you have plenty of options like a turbo.

Someone on SSB (2500-850 PTO.) 4 with 2 shifter levers. And danny I believe he is a member on here? You really had to watch out what you did.

Were some with 4-speed and others single speed?

This should be the decal for the 4-speed PTO.

All one has to do is look down from the seat and you would be looking at the decal. Easy to shift. And yes, most times, double clutch is needed. Once it's in there, you can work all day brush mowing with the 'live' PTO on the YM2610 because the PowerShift has it's own neutral that the PTO keeps going. This way, I can travel along. stop, go into N and then R and mow backwards around trees and landscaping vs. turning the entire tractor around or spin down and spin up the PTO making the lawn messy like it was chopped.

The Power Shift is a MUST HAVE in my book. It's gotten myself out of binds many times. With the JD-850, I would fight to multi-clutch and shift. It's not easy on slopes.

AND with the 4-speed PTO, you can run the engine at different RPMS to get to the 540rpm should you choose. Just look at the RPM/Hour gauge
500rpm PTO speed-1 2200rpms engine

500rpm PTO speed-2 1900rpms engine

500rpm PTO speed-3 1600rpms engine

500rpm PTO speed-4 1200rpms engine


Now you would say, how would you hit 540rpms and not 500rpms. I just at a little to the throttle for the needle to hit the 5 in the 500. It's close enough. With the JD-261 finish mower, I can run in PTO-1 and have the needle point to the 500 in the PTO-2 area. The mower worked happily there. Remember, 540 is the MAX, not the norm.

Seen a couple Fredricks, or what Looked to be Fredricks tractors on the Farm and garden in CL. Gainsville. First I know of him mentioned on here I can recall. Not far from me at all. I'm just a few miles West from Athens. He's closer than Spalding to me actually. Good to know!!
Bmaverick I couldn't open the attachment for the decal. I was wanting to see that again! Been awhile since I had to deal with it and things are hard for me to remember. It's been 8 or 9yrs. since the 2500 was purchased and I had to do anything to it. Hyd. pump was leaking last time I went there. Looked like someone shut the 3Pt. lock and tried to raise it is what appeared. Snugged up the line to the pump and it quit :thumbsup:

Searching hard this came up on Hoye. Not a YM2500 but A 4130. Remember I mentioned 2 shift levers and they was setup like this and why I said 5. Yeah it was crazy :confused2:. You really had to watch what you did.

Here's the Decal. I tried going back a few posting and didn't see it myself. That was very odd. It's just a regular JPG file like the rest posted here.
It's only one lever that moves in the H pattern. No different than a stick-shift level with a top knob. Next time I get the Ym2610 out of the shed, I've snag an image. I couldn't find one online for some reason.

OUCH on the hydraulic leak. There is a knob just under the center of the seat and a little know tiny level under the seat on the left side that deals with the speed of the lift/lower. If that little level gets moved, it slow the flow and movement of the 3pt. I've bumped it once and freaked out that the knob wasn't working. It took 20mins to find the thing and learn what's it's use was. It was not listed in the so-call users manual from Fredricks. Not only that, but I'm not really certain if other Yanmar's have this level too. WHY? Because often I read about others with a 3pt lift/lower issue.

Call Fredricks and ask for Bobby.

If you have a trade-in the price would drop some. A trade-in with a Yanmar engine would be ideal too, did that with the JD-850.

After the trade, they took my old beaten JD850 from this ...

Stan's is the closest one to my location now vs. where I lived in the south.

I haven't posted in a while due to the flood we had here in Nebraska, not sure if any of you head about that, but its a real mess. Any ways I was going to let you know that Bobby no longer works at Fredrick's. I had called down there a few months back to get some info on tillers and they said he no longer worked there. Not sure who would be the next best person to talk to now.

The Nebraska flooding sound horrible. It made the news all over the country. Were you flooded, or isolated, or ?

If you need flood info, we are 5 years into rebuilding our place after the 2013 flood. It's a long process, and there are a number of things I'd do differently.
There are basically two types of flood. One is what I'd call "water up; water down" but without much fast current.
The other type has fast current and carries lots of debris. Ours left about 4 to 6 feet depth of gravel and rock across the entire property.
Here's some pictures...
