Danny, Yanmar made lime-green tractors up until about 1978....then they went to the red and cream color. These were sold in the US till about 1990. Yes, All of the JD compacts numbering between 650 and 1090 plus the 1250, the 1450, the 1650, and the newer 4100 are made entirely by Yanmar. At least that's the story as best any of us model/history fuys can figure it. Larger 4000 series JDs still use the Yanmar engine complete. Who knows about the rest of the tractor?...Yanmar did not make the front axle that JD is currently replacing on the 4000 series. I believe that one was a US made front axle.
Are Yanmars reliable? Well, they are exactly as reliable as a similar sized JD :-). The powershift transmission was not included in the tractors that Yanmar made for JD. It is an expensive and fairly unique transmission. The story at the time was that Yanmar wanted to retain exclusive rights to it. Again, who knows where the truth is? JD does use a similar tranny on their large Ag tractors. The powershift doesn't seem to have any built-in problems, but it is a complex device. Yanmar has been making it now for 20 years and I haven't heard of problems with it. For many years you could buy the Yanmar with or without the powershift tranny, powershift was an add-on extra.
The thing about Yanmars is that they are a grey market tractor. There are factory-recognized Yanmar dealers in this country but they are in an odd position. They sell parts and do repairs and sell accessories - but they don't sell tractors! So if you want a Yanmar, you have to buy a used one. Up until recently this wasn't such a bad deal. A used Yanmar was more or less the same as the newer tractors. Much like a used JD but less expensive. But recently the newer ones have gotten much better. New Yanmars would probably be competitive. But like I say, you can't buy one. Until you can, the Yanmar is going to remain an outsider. One last question always pops up: If Yanmar made both Yanmar and JD, do Yanmar and JD parts interchange? The answer is: Some do; most don't.

I just picked up a 6ft woods rake new at auction for $325 which i've since found out is a pretty good price. Dealer would have wanted $425-500. I think the brands you mentioned are all comparable. I'd stay away from the really cheap ones as they seem pretty light duty and you can get to pulling a pretty heavy load if your're doing dirt and things. You should be able to get a decent one for under $500 unless you want guide wheels, then add about $125. (For nice finish grading I can see where they would be worth it but you can always add them later.) Try some auctions if you don't need it right away.

How much does the draw bar horse power drop on an HST tractor as compared to a gear drive tractor. I am looking at buying a JD4300 or Kub L3010 to pull a 6 or 7 foot 3pthitch cultivator. I have about 2 full acres to cultivate. I notice that PTO HP drops about 1HP on an Hst vs gear. Will these tractors do the job?

I have narrowed my choices down to three tractors. JD4300, Kub L3010, and Boomer TC29. In addition to the usual mowing, loader work and snow removal I want to be able to culivate about two acres of land with a 3pt cultivator (6 to 8 ft wide with maybe six inch shovels). I have heard that Hydrostatic transmissions suck when it come to pulling (draw bar HP). I noticed the pto Hp on a gear vs hst tractor is about 1 HP more on these models. How much does the draw bar HP drop on a hst tranny tractor? Should I be looking at getting a gear version tractor, or will these do the job even with hst? Thanks for your help ahead of time!

I agree, Andy. One of those things that we think shouldn't be, but doubt that we can do anything about it.

Danny, forgot your question regarding the 5' bushog, my tractor handles 5' implements with ease, but remember the 4 wheel drive adds weight to the front end, however, I'm sure the 2310 would handle the 5' bushog easily.

Please re-answer if your answer is missing from this thread. I was getting email notification whenever a response was posted. I didn't know it, but when I deleted my email notification without reading it, it deleted the thread on this board! I was just deleting them without reading them, thinking I could just go to the thread and read them there, but they weren't there. I don't know how this is happening, but if you left an answer, please re-do it because I didn't get a chance to read it. Thanks.

Kenny, does this two position pedal adjustment apply to the JD 4300? Wouldn't mind if mine were easier to operate! Also, as my tractor doesn't get to the dealer often, is it something the mechanically inclined can handle?

Thanks Terry. Could I asked what you paid for it (with a breakdown of costs if possible)? The dealer wants $21,500 for the 4600 with 4WD, HST, DSCV and insdustrial tires and folding ROPS. I would assume from what you said that if it has been built already, it has the old scuffing problem.

I'm shopping for a tractor to maintain wildlife food plots, miscellaneous work and blow snow on a mile-long access in northern MI. Comments on line make the JD 790 with a loader sound good for limited budget. #1: I noted that the 790 can come with 2 rim sizes as well as 3 tire types. Any recommendations on which size for snowblowing, disking, mowing, convenience? #2: Seems a front end snowblower would be much better with more variable speeds (gears) forward, control and comfort. Is it worth the $$ over rear mount? The exchanges on this site have been excellent help for a neophyte. Thanks for sharing your experience. Ben

I have a 21D that I got last spring and have put about 125hrs on it using a 5ft rear mount mower, 5ft bush hog, and 5ft box blade in addition to the loader. It handles the attachments easily but can get a little bogged down with a full load in the box scraper. All in all though, it has enough power for these implements and the loader works great as well. In fact, you almost have to have an attachment on when doing loader work, and have the loader on when doing box blade work, just for ballast. The 21 is physically quite a bit smaller than the 25d, but to me this is an advantage when using it for mowing (lawns). It is lighter too, so it's more maneuverable and does less turf damage. If I weren't gonna be doing any mowing, I'd probably go with a 25 or bigger. But this machine is my lawn mower as well. As for price, you're price sounds about right.

Bob, I just answered you on the other board, but forgot about the fact that my B7100 came with a chain such as Art mentioned, but I never used it; probably should have though; good idea.

I really appreciate your interest in my safety, and advice. It won't fall on deaf ears either. Maybe I painted too renegade a picture of what I was doing.
I'm hip to the centerline of the axle physics. If something doesn't easily come out, its left for another day and another piece of equipment. Don't think I'm getting a 1/4 mile running start and popping a chain at 40 mph.
Again, I thank you and will heed your words of caution.
thanks, TonyG

Does anyone have any experience with Eicher tractors (India). There's very little "user based" information on the web. All info is about the company or sales related. I just wanna know if Eicher makes good tractors. I found a "great deal" on Eicher 364 NC w/ front loader and mower. But it almost seems to good be true. Someone give me some useful first hand info.Thanks.
