I currently own a 2WD YM2000. Have been thinking about a 4WD model. I have had very good luck with my 2000 and parts have never been an issue since it such a popular model. Have located a very nice F-220. What is the reputation of this model and how about parts availability. Anyone have any experience?????

Never heard of a F220, but if you mean F22D I hear they have weak and un-available ring and pinion gears, both front and rear.

This is a pic of an F220, but I don't know anything about it.
No not a 22D. It is a F220. Local dealer (small time) has two and they look pretty nice. Always hesitant about reliablilty and parts support.

Wouldn't a F220 be a 2wd tractor? Apparently they didn't use the "D" designation for 4wd. appears to be a '90's vintage gray market. I would be very leery of parts support as it appears to be almost non-exixtent.

Norm,
Ring & pinions are available now.
I have replaced a few in my days, they mostly break on the FX s when an operator shifts without the clutch from forward to reverse while the tractor is still moving fast.
Or they jam the diff lock, while the tractor has high rpms.
If they are lucky only the spider gears break.
However I have had my Yanmars for many years without any problems, its all in the operator.

That's good news. It really is a good-looking tractor.

Hello everyone. I have this yanmar model. It is incredible hard to start the engine when its cold. Could it be a spark plug problem? pre heating with glow plug doesnt make any difference. the battery is charged. The tractor itself stays outdoor. Is there something i do wrong? Please, help.
You really should have started a new thread with this. Are you saying you have a f220 yanmar? Yanmars don't have spark plugs. Do you know if your thermostart is really working?
