YM187D Delivered today

[sacsr]

Hey guys ...tractor arrived safely thanks to my guy Brian from Lexington, VA. If you need something delivered in this region I highly recommend him....he did a good job in a tough environment - delivering my tractor out of PA through DC.....finally to me today.

No leaks on floor of trailer was a good sign. Starts up quickly which based on the threads here is a good sign as well. Tractor came in as expected and want to thank my sales rep Randy at West Central Equipment for doing a great job representing it. Would do business with these guys again in a heart beat.

I have the original sales brochure for the 180 and 187 if anyone is interested will try to scan it.

See pics below......I will now need to do more research to decide what I have to keep on hand for up keep etc...any suggestions will be appreciated but pretty sure there are many threads on this.

My fuse box cover is gone and the area is covered with tape??? any chance I can find a box cover with the guys who support this site??

Now to locate a 4' bush hog and blade....let the work begin!

Congratulations! I want one, it's gorgeous!

That is more different from YM186D than I expected. Your transmission tunnel is near flat and it looks longer compared to YM186D. This must make it much easier to dismount. My YM186D has column shift but the guts for the Powershift are still on top of the transmission so I need to raise my foot as high as the seat cushion to dismount. If the shift lever were sticking up there too, (early YM186D), it seems to me one would need a cheerleader's kick to clear the shifter. Plus your footpads look long enough to have two feet on at the same time.

I want one!

Hang in there Ron there are still good deals out there to be had, you have a better idea of what to look for now. Seeing what sacsr came up with,I bet your not feeling all that bad about passing on the Bogus 1510D

Very nice!! Boy does it ever look long. Wonder how that affects the turning radius? Those rear tires are HUGE!

Yes getting you foot up and over the center shift is sometimes a bit of a trick.

Sure looks worth every penny of that $4200, they gave it to you pretty much.

That is a nice looking tractor. I must ask about the back tires. They ought to have great traction based on width but they look a little small diameter for that tractor. Probably not but if so your 4 wheel drive could be put in a bind because of ratio problems. Good luck with it. I'm jealous too!
