YM 2000 PTO Speeds

[clemsonfor]

Many older American tractors have 2 speeds including the US market version the ym240

I recently bought a YM 2000. It is the first Yanmar I have owned. It is used exclusively by my brother at his place. I have zero seat time.

He called me recently and asked why the tractor has 3 PTO speeds. I told him he was mistaken, tractors don't have 3 PTO speeds. He sent me the attached picture of the PTO lever which shows 3 speeds and neutral. He said that it indeed has 3 speeds. He operated the PTO in all of the three settings and each was a different speed.

LOL Mine has a 4 speed PTO
