I too have a YM186D. After a few years experience with a larger model I figured out this is best for my orchard. It's Yanmar's smallest with Powershift which is a huge improvement over a manual transmission. After years of looking for a YM186D at a reasonable price I bought one without loader, then more recently replaced it with one that has a loader and power steering. (photo before I cleaned it up).
We love photos, come post some in the Yanmar forum. :thumbsup:
