Yanmar YM186D
Hi from the Waikato region of NZ. We bought this property back in May. About 33 acres, on a ridge with steep slopes either side. Got a little Yanmar, because it seemed more safe on the slopes. So far it's been used for grading our driveway, and most recently to rescue our Gator which was perched half-over the edge near the top of the ridge.

The few times I have needed some answers about the tractor, I have usually found myself on TBN.

Welcome and I hope you can share some of your summer with us,I got 3 inches of snow today and it is 1 Degree Celsius . I live 100 mile south of Chicago Il. and 100 mile north of Indianapolis In. I have friends in Whangarei north of you.

Thanks for joining :)

It sounds like that Yanmar has already been put to good use.

Thanks for the welcome!
To Rocky J: We drove up to Whangarei a few months back to buy our 6x4 Gator - an all day return trip.
To Catherine TBN: Yep, and even more plans for the little Yanmar - namely to terrace the ridge slopes (working with our little towable backhoe).
To Wagtail: G'day back mate. I'm an Aussie, but been in NZ 6 years now. Lived for some years in Lauderdale TAS - visited and loved St Helens. P.S. Over here they call wagtails, fantails.
