More interesting to me is the round baler behind it? 20 hp on a round baler?

That thing is using a lot of HP just to move those tires let alone enough to power that baler . I would like to see it spit out some round bales

I remember seeing that thing before on here. Have a search around, you will find the build thread where he had hub or hub adaptors made to fit those wheels on it.

Here is his thread and he even has a video in the posts. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/yanmar/161199-tyre-rim-conversion-ym1610d-3.html?highlight=1610d

I recognize the front tires. They are hi-flotation Terra tires. They were available from Goodyear here in the USA. We used them on 15" wide rims on our 4WD rigs for max flotation. They are only 2 ply and highly susceptible to rock cuts.

yep looks familiar to me to. I remember seeing it. Those might be smaller euro bales and it may be able to run that thing?

Thanks for linking the build thread. Now that I see it, I remember it also.

Does anybody know what the front bumper is made from?

Probably didn't look long enough but I only see the original Yanmar front bumper.

In the build thread the front bumper is the Yanmar original. In the pictures in the TractorHouse listing it has something bolted to the original bumper. I am sure it is for added weight but the way it is shaped I wonder if it has additional purpose.

OK, now I see it. I don't know what it is or what the purpose but sure looks mean.

The 3 pt attachment is a European made flail pickup mower similar to our Mathews Company Lawn Genie design. After acquiring a 6 ft. lawn genie, I too found out that additional front ballast is necessary. I believe the front bumper is a receiver for additional front weights adapted from a much larger tractor. Like those tires though.

This thing looks like a beast.

What is bolted onto the front Yanmar bumper plate looks like giant lips with teeth. :laughing:
