New Member FEL?

GSTom · Mar 22, 2015

New member here. Have inherited a 186D with mower deck and front blade. Looking for options for a FEL.
Can FEL and mower be on tractor at same time?

Thanks in advance.

Koyker Koyker Manufacturing - Loaders makes a high quality loader and their Model 80 fits the 186D. There was also an advertiser on this site, Coldwater Tractor, that makes a cheaper option and I haven't seen any complaints about it. The Koyker 110 loader (discontinued model) that came with my YM1510 has been great.

Contract LMTC in Ohio they are just up the road from you about 40 miles. They are in Blanchester, OH just to the south of you. They have been supporting Yanmar tractors for years.

Not fact, just my opinion the belly mower will not fit under the loader frame. :2cents:

Maybe he can sell the belly mower, get the FEL and look for a rear finish mower to complete the setup.

My John Deere 261 finish mower works well behind the Yanmar. With the PowerShift, I just leave the PTO going and move about even backwards.

The PTO never stops unless I engage the clutch. PowerShift doesn't require the clutch action to shift. Very cool indeed.
