Show off your Yanmars! (Picture Thread)

[Katahdin]

I though it would be fun to start a picture thread of our Yanmar tractors. Both old and new are fine, lets see the heritage and what they can do, post 'em up!

Here are some recent ones of my LX. I fitted the lid off an old Sears cargo carrier for a canopy and went to work mowing the field. It was nice to work in the shade and cheap to make, the canopy almost looks stock!

The last one is a couple weeks ago. I buffed it out and it is shinning like new again!!

Something wrong with that last pic. Lets see some rpm next time. But thanks. Luggage carrier just gave me some tool box ideas. Your box got me thinking out of the box.

You got that trailer loaded!!

 

[tman1020]

Wow what size is that trailer. It looks so small under that tractor. Here's some of mine next to my new tractor.

 

[Wasted Income]

18' with 2' dovetail...7000 lb axles....was pretty much at the limit...luckily I only had to go about 60 miles with it. I think i need a bigger trailer.

 

[tman1020]

Yes I think it's safe to say you definitely need a bigger trailer. What a awesome problem to have though right. What are you thinking about getting and how heavy is your tractor? I have a 16 foot utility that I feel is too small now for my new tractor. It does not have a dovetail on it but when I have the bush hog on it sticks off the back over half of the Bush hog. Plus I'm worried about the weight capacity I'm kind of pushing it.

Here's a picture of it

I don't like seeing white colors in a black and yellow forum, red is also ok now days.:smiley_aafz:

It was a tough decision to move away from the Yanmar had more than one of them but I loved that 1702. It was amazing how much and how well it would do tasks. Just couldn't pass up the deal on the bobcat. Kept them both for a long time thinking I might not be happy with the new tractor. But with the new tractor being Hydro and then the cab in a much larger operating station the Yanmar was not getting any use. So now she has a new home where she can be appreciated. So don't sweat it even though i run a bobcat still got a special place for Yanmar.

These Yanmar LXs are employed by the Belchertown Mass Water District and are clearing snow in today's Northeast Blizzard. They are sporting Curtis Cabs.



I found the pics on the Yanmar America Facebook Page.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing

Here's a couple of me and my LX cleaning up after this last snow storm.



My front snow plow is a truck plow with a hitch adapter for the loader. This plow still has its original 12v pump and solenoid valves, but I've rerouted the cylinders hoses to the loader valve and control it all with the loader joystick. The plow cylinder hoses go through a crossover relief valve as well.

The front blade has a 2 inch pipe on the edge to make it easier on gravel, I use the rear blade when I need to get more aggressive at scraping slush and ice.

Bring on the snow!!

 

[TomSeller]

Sorry, but is my only Yanmar. 6 HP air-cooled Yanmar Diesel generator. Starts with 1 pull every time, the best air cooled engine I have.
