No!!! It's sweet It's done it before esp. in the summer or higher temperatures on cold starts not using the TS. but it's not much. The Typical Small Blk. puff of smoke on a Diesel. Also under a Load and throttle it up your get a puff or so. When I went over to Steve's at Spalding tractor and first cranked it up. Looking at the Orig. condition of it compared to the Refurbished Tractors. I had to ask were he got from. He wouldn't elaborate Honestly he just said he didn't know. With his add being UTDA I was just shopping or "kickin tires". Did'nt even bring a Trailer. I left Him A Check though and I'd be back to pick it up.

When i load mine up, like bushhoggin 4-5ft tall grass or pulling my disk with 250lb on top with the gangs sunk in the dirt it will put out the smoke as it strains to pull it. Nothing im worried about honestly. I have seen some way worse on youtube of folks yanmars that were newer than mine rolling way more smoke on less work than mine was doing.

Normal bushogging just faint smoke if you look right in the sun and concentrate on seeing it. Will puff a bit if you hit a thick clump or some big branches or something in the field. But i bushhog maybe 7 acres 2-3x a year and disk my 1-2 acre foodflot twice a year.

7acres. 0n the BH. Thats it? That's not much Fun. Buy you a FM. I do that easy Bi Wkly. I don't get any smoke and don't use much fuel Either. The sound of the 2cyl. Yammer Hammering along doesn't bother me a bit. I kind of like it

Not sure how much it is? Its not where i live so i have to do it all on a weekend i go there. I get smoke when its heavy stuff, nothing im concerned about. Thats all i get im happy, after hearing others stories about their vn's. I also have a 3pt valve thats a bit leaky that i need to go into and see if i can replace an o ring or something, just a bit of a leakdown if you cut engine off with 3pt up, not the main piston as when you turn the lockout it dont fall.

I dont mind the hammer either. But as far as the acerage, id have to take my gps to figure it out one time. I dont cut it but a few times a year so when i do its pretty tall. I can cut about an acre an hour or there abouts mabe a bit longer sometimes maybe a few mins faster sometimes. It will take me all day to cut my fields if i do it all at once so it may be more. Im not talking about a daylight to dark day, im not a farmer afterall.

If I have to do any brush cutting I use a 7'BH with a JD 5103.:thumbsup: My Ym2000 Which when I found out it was basicly the US. JD.Ym240 is why I even bothered to look at them. Found mine and bought it. Seen and looked at a couple of 240's and new it would work with the Woods/Frontier FM but both were in rough condition. I knew over the yrs. I do to much for Lawn mowers even use a JD with a Kohler that stays in the Shop. That or "Garden Tractor" and way to much for a Zero turn. I get to watch my neighbor get beat to death on his :laughing: They're great for a Sub.Div. Lot. IMO. Also let me add that now with both Tractors with FM's never even use the BH but Rarely The mashino is actually set up similar to a BH with the blades on a Pin when your in the rough stuff.
