I have a PTO Cement Mixer that I purchased from First Choice along with my first dealer order. Having never used a 3 Point mixer, I decided to try it out so that I could judge it's performance. It worked out very well and now I can sell it with a clear conscience. Anyone interested can email me . Thanks, tractorman

The only markings are a sticker that reads MACHETE by Jollyhoe Reg. Pacific Machine Manufacturing Portland Oregon.

Sorry it took a bit to get back to you. I loaned it to a friend and had to contact him to get the info off of it.

On my 2820 during cold weather starting by turning the key to the left till the little red light that is attached to the glow plug goes out. That preheats the fuel in the cylinder. Move the throtlle control to mid point, pull out the decompression knob and crank the engine till it starts. Once the engine fires, push the decompression knob back in, and allow the engine to run at half throttle till warmed up. Then get to work.

We have a pickup with a trailer on the road delivering a tractor or picking up things almost everyday. I have had a couple of flats, but never a blowout or other outright failure. I think the key its to not be running right at the margin. Installing some 8-ply 14" tires will give you a lot of comfort and if your 4x4 tractor can't climb a couple more inches of ramp, then we have another subject to discuss!

The pump's volume and max pressure will be rated on the pump in metric units. They are not hard to convert. I don't have a list of these, but I think the 2010 will flow around 6-7gpm at 2400rpm, and I'd guess the 1500 is around 4-5gpm.

A PTO pump could be added to generate a lot of flow easily.

It might be that you can run the brush hog in reverse if you had blades with edges on them in that direction. I don't think it would matter. Dave

You might want to pull back the driveshaft cover and see if it is spinning. You'll need to have it jacked up and put stands under it first. Dave

I have never seen a Yanmar with draft control that also has down pressure. It would be handy for a PHD. Now we have to attach a downforce kit, which is about $300, if we want to dig in touch soils, especially when it is dry.

CUT cutoff? Not sure. I have a 50HP Yanmar, that is very compact, about 4000lbs with loader. I would say it is a CUT. It hauls nicely on a 7000GVW car trailer (load capacity of 5500lbs). I have an older 424 International with a loader that is about 30ish HP and must weigh 6000lbs or more. It is not a CUT. Not sure where the line is, but probably in the low to mid 40HP range would fit most people's idea. Certainbly if you can't haul it on a car trailer with a regular pickup, it is too big for my idea of a CUT.

The problem with buying any used piece of equipment remotely is the condition can vary greatly. If the dealer isn't trustworthy, or perhaps he has a different opinion of what is "nice", you could be in a bind. Also consider after the sale service. Will he chase parts for you? Does it come with a manual, a warranty? Does the dealer do his own reconditioning? Be very careful of the "factory" recondition units being advertised. Rest assured that Yanmar isn't reconditioning these and selling them to the US market. Many are being "reconditioned" in Vietnam. It would not be fair to make a blanket condemnation of all vietnamese rebuilds, but I have heard of a great deal of problems with them, so be careful.

Having said that, I admit that I sell a fair amount of tractors remotely, and I always make double sure that they are very nice, as my reputation rides along with every tractor I sell. I am on the west coast, so I am not trying to sell you a tractor, just giving you some thoughts.

Yanmars are top quality machines, if you get a good used tractor it will last a lifetime.

I believe Little Miami Tractor Company (LMTC) (Ohio) has a good inventory right now, and he is a reputable guy and good with parts. You might look him up on the web, his name is Wayne. Many other guys in that general area as well.

The creeper is standard on the 2820, and on a good deal of other Yanmars. Most all YM series 3-cylinder Yanmars over 20HP have crawl. It is another range, not a splitter. Since their primary application in Japan is tilling, it is important to be able to go slow. Some of the F series have crawl, but it works like a splitter.

They take tilling seriously in Japan. I have a F235(D) Yanmar and it has auto-leveling on it. It is a sensor that mounts on the tiller and "talks" to the tractor and operates the right tilting cylinder. If the tractor tire drops into a hole, the tiller remains level. This is called "UFO"...not sure why.

Another interesting feature is a sharp turn lever. When engaged, it enables the tractor to turn very sharp, as if one were applying just one rear brake. Also another button causes the tiller to raise whenever the tractor is put in reverse. The downside to all of this neat gadgetry is that it is trouble prone due to all of the connections.

On a FX42D I just bought (4-cylinder turbo diesel), it has power-shift with 4 forward and two reverse gears in each of 3 ranges. Shift without the clutch, kind of neat.

It's too bad that Yanmar isn't selling directly in USA now. I have had several of there mid-nineties machines and they don't take a back seat to any tractor.

Mark, my father in law has an older Mac. They made a good machine back then. He just recently ran over it with his trailer. He says it was an accident, but I'm thinking he was just ready for a new saw. I once bought a cheapy and it caused me a bunch of frustration and lost time. I now have a small Stihl for trimming and a larger one for the big stuff. My little Stihl is an 011 model, and I have cut three cords a year for 12 years with it with very little maintenance. As with all tools, buy good ones. If you do decide to go cheap, I have heard that many people are satisfied with the Wally World Poulans.

I have a 2820 and am looking to get a spare set of rims and a set of turf tires for mowing about 3 acres of ground. Anyone have recommendations as to where to get used rims, and what size tires would be best? Can you use automotive type tires as substitute for turf tires?
Also need to know your opinions on what size and manuf. finish mower would be acceptable for this size tractor.
It is a 2 wheel drive unit, and I am new to this compact tractor thing. Would a belly mower be better than a rear PTO unit. Also! does my tractor have a "live" PTO, and if not, how difficult and expensive to convert to "live" PTO?
You prompt replies will be greatly appreciated, as I am READY to buy.
