Yanmar in a Blizzard!!!

Authr31,After seeing your pictures I need an FEL.What make do you have,and why did you purchase it.I also have a 1610D. Koyker has a Model 80 & 120 for this model tractor.Do you know if the 1610D is capable of handeling these Fels.

I have had a Koyker 80 on a YM1500D. The 1500D is about the same size physically as the 1610 and my 1500 handled it well.

moe123, like tractors4u sez, your 1610 will handle an 80 FEL no problem. Is your 1610 4x4? still won't really matter much if it's 4x2 if you just want to use the FEL in dirt and none snow conditions.

I purchased my FEL with the tractor, it's a "generic" loader. And, there are many reasons why I purchased it with a loader, one of which the pictures show. I also use it to move materials around my yard, grade areas, etc. It's very handy!!

I have a Koyker 110 on my 1500D and it handles it great. I love being able to pile up the snow. I made an igloo for the kids the other night. I attached a picture but it not very good because there was a glare from the headlights on the tractor....

Here's a picture of the Koyker 110 on my 1500D. This was last summer when I was redoing the landscape beds in the front of the house and prior to renovating the lawn in the fall.

That loader is a "V" loader.

Nice pictures, Rob. Is that a tiller on the back of the 1500?

Yes it's a Yanmar Tiller model RS1300. It came with my tractor when I bought it. Comes in real handy for putting in landscape beds around the house. i mixed in yards and yards of mushroom soil and it makes an excellent planting bed. Here is another progress picture of the front bed. I took out the large maple tree that was dying and we put in some magnolia's. My wife likes the tropical look so we also put in a lot of color guard yuccas. Since this picture I have made another bed closer to the road to incorporate the bench and 3rd magnolia.

Here's another bed we did in the back....It's amazing what you can do with a small Yanmar with a tiller and FEL. This summer I moved and tilled over 50 yards of mushroom soil and then I topped it all off with 60 yards of mulch.

And here is my favorite bed. We did this one right after we got the tractor 4 yrs ago. We put in a water garden pond that wraps around the deck. The waterfall is on the top pond. The top ponds runs down a stream to the bottom pond and gets pumped back up to the waterfall.
