YM1500 is to small for my big feet

[Normmm]

Hi guyes

I have owned a YM2020d for about 2 months now. I really like the machine. A friend left his 1500 with me until he can sell it. I have been doing some service to it. Change battery, oil. and clean a few things. Of course after working on something you must test your work. So I hooked up the 4' finishing mower and went to work. The LITTLE tractor has plenty of power and I liked the old poppin johnny sound for a time. I soon remembered why I did not like to run the old two banger. The worst thing though was getting on and off and trying to find some place to put my size 14 boots. I also have a satoh beaver III and though it is smaller in sige it has more foot room then the 1500. When I size my next tractor I will look for foot room Not Hp.

I've got a F15D, which has the same HP as the YM1500 but is over a foot shorter in length. I have no problem at all finding room for my size 13's. The F-series tractors got rid of the transmission hump of the YM-series tractors, and when they did that there must have been some room left over for bigger feet! I doubt that in the 1970's and 80's when these tractors were made there were too many Japanese farmers clamoring for room for their size 14 boots! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
