yanmar 3110d and 3810d capability and reliability

[thegreatrandini]

I can pick up 800 lbs with the 3pt and cruise around all I want with a 2210. I can lift the same with fel but it really taxes the front end. Those 3810d's are quite a bit bigger than my unit. I just don't see the problem with moving 1300 lbs around. I am not saying "throw caution to the wind" but a 3810d can easily move a 1300 round bale. I think you could do some with the other unit mentioned as well.

If I were going to be moving 1300 round bales all day several times a year I would look for a bigger tractor. I would not be afraid to use a 3810d to move bale into a coral from outside a coral etc.... I don't know exactly what he needs done but if that is all he needs I would say the 3810d is a ok......

"I can pick up 800 lbs with the 3pt and cruise around all I want with a 2210."

Is that 800# rolls of hay? These things are going to be 1500#, (bale+spear), sticking out about 8' off the back of a 2900# tractor, not the 2' as usually mentioned in lift capacity specs.

I know what u are saying but I still have no doubts of what I have said..

Great, you are correct.
I bought a 3110d with a koyker 160 loader and the tractor will handle a large round bale (approximately 1300 Pds) comfortably. I was surprised how easily the tractor lifted the bale with the 3PH. I next gave it a bounce test by lowering the bale and doing a sudden stop with the 3PH before the bale reached the ground. This was done on level ground to see if the front was going to become airborne. The tractor remained stable. I next did the same experiment with the tractor pointed uphill on an approximate 20% grade. I was impressed as the front still did not get airborne.
I have an International 444 without a loader and the front will get airborne with a round bale on the same grade I did the experiment.
I will only move the bales intermittently with the 3110d to feed horses and when I handle bales in mass, I will use my Belarus 570 which has a Memo 500 loader and I am not concerned with a weight imbalance.
Thanks for your advice.

I am glad to help. Thanks for letting me know how it worked out. I knew they could be handy! " thegreatrandini" seems to no exist. I have not been able to log on. I may have been booted. If so I hope they let me stay on this time as Greatrandini. I am not positive what happened. I seem to have offended folks but I did not mean to. I hope they are nice to you!
