Re: Old School
Old Yan still getting the job done. She will be 30 next year. I was not sure she could do it but it did and we moved this tree about 100 yards. Tree root systems are much much heavier than one would think.
(Trying to fix link)
Circa 1986 Yanmar F22D (22 at the PTO and about 26 engine hp). Complete with ROPS, 4 speed PTO, and even a rear HYDRAULIC leveling arm. Manually adjusting rear leveling arms are common and this is the only tractor under 30 hp I have ever seen with an OEM hydraulic leveling arm.

more rocks than dirt, lol:

It has been so, so reliable. It sits in the shed at camp from October to April. In the spring it starts every single time on the first turn of the key. With just under 1300 hours on the clock I don't even place 50 hours a year on it.
You will be upset with me but I am considering a new Mahindra. I have a good amount more land upcoming and I am not sure the F22D is large enough to keep up with the reoccurring and upcoming tasks. With zero issues all these years, foodplots, planting chestnuts, making ponds, I just don't know if I can trade it in...:confused2:

You need to put a little air in the front tires.

I agree with the air, maybe put 35 pounds in the front.

Here is mine taken a few years ago during a room building project. It's used for tilling (52") and backhoe work when not on mowing duty. It has been a good tractor for me. Starts well in cold weather and does what I expect of it.
