Steve,

E-mail me at tractors4u@hotmail.com. I found a design for a 3 pt hitch for a 318 on a web page. I will send it to you. I also have a 318, it is a great mower.

You are in luck. The 232 shared the same engine with the Massey 210 and the Allis Chalmers 5020. The 232 is and older tractor the 1802. The 1802 had the same engine I believe as the Massey 1020.

They are Chinese, at least the Taskmaster is. I have never heard of them putting a Yanmar engine in them. Sounds like a line that the dealer would use as a selling point. The Chinese tractors don't have that good of a reputation, but you won't find many people who admit to having one to find out the full story. My only experience with Chinese tractors is seeing one on display at a show with a puddle of oil under it. That kind of turned me against them.

The transmission is not really automatic and manual. Here is how the powershift on my Yanmar 2620D works. You use the clutch when you select the range,Creeper- 1-2-3-4. Then when you have selcected the range you then shift the other selector to R-1-2-3 without having to use the clutch. Or you may use the clutch to slowly start or stop. It will not shift like an automatic transmission. Think of it as an automatic clutch like on an ATV. Mine has been very reliable. As for being a crossover to JD 750, no it is not. The engine may be the same, I would have to look. JD has never used any of the Yanmar tranmissions like the powershift in their compacts. As for Green Yanmars and red ones. The pale green ones are older models. Unless of course the dealer has painted it JD green.

I have a Coleman 5KW generator with the 10hp Tecumseh and so does my dad. Both generators run perfectly. It sounds like you might have gotten a bad one. I would return it rather than mess with a carb kit.

Well one problem I see already is a lot of assumptions being made about how you were using your tractor before you even gave any details. I deal in grey market tractors and have only seen Long tractors. No they aren't the greatest tractors in the world but they appear solid enough. If what you said is true that the pressure you exerted on the stump was not enough to dent or scratch the stump I doubt that did it by itself. It could have been a weak casting? How old is the tractor? What kind of loader was it? Pushing tree tops surely would be enough to break the tractor, I have pushed a lot more with a lot less!<br>Brent

I don't know if an unscroupulous dealer told you that your tractor was made in 1994 or not, but it wasn't. The 1804 was built from 82 to 87. You can get yourself a manual for a Massey Ferguson 1020. It used the same engine as the 1804 and was essentially the same tractor.

Antoine I can attest to your comment about snow not being a problem where you are at. I was on the other end of your island in the Dominican Republe a month ago. I have no experience with the New Hollands so I won't comment on them. One thing I will say is that there aren't many compacts in the Dominican Republic. All I saw was big tractors.<br>Brent

The 185 is a good tractor. I had one of the Grey Market counterparts, an L1501 Kubota. The price seems a little high though. That particular model was built from 78-82. I looked it up on Farmers Hotline and they listed the average price by year at anywhere from $5927 to $8199 and the bank loan value at $3942 to $5375. I hope this is some help.<br>Brent

The Allis Chalmers and Deutz Allis compacts were built by Toyosha who marketed tractors under the name Hinomoto in Japan. Toyosha also supplied tractors to Massey Ferguson for a while.

I was doing a little research for you and it looks like the L2201 has the same engine as the American market Kubota L235. Both have a 68 cubic inch 3 cylinder engine. You may want to use this as a selling point. I sell grey market tractors and I specialize in what I call crossover tractors. That is tractors that have an American counterpart. There are a few Kubotas that are like that. Kubota USA will not admit it though. The L1500 & 1501 were identical to the American Kubota 175 & 185. I think the 2201 and 235 are probably the same also. I hope this helps you out.

It sounds like JD should have let Yanmar continue building the entire tractor like they did with the 50 and 70 series instead of building their own tractor with Yanmar engines. I have always been a little leery about making a big purchase when it was a new model or first year run of a model. Sounds like they may have rushed production a little.

If it were 4WD it would handle a loader, but it would not do much. A tractor as small as a 655 and only 2 wheel drive would maybe scoop a little loose dirt but that would be it. Another plus about a 4WD is the front axle of a 4WD is a lot stronger than the 2WD.

The lower priced farm fuel is not inferior to the higher priced diesel, it just lacks the taxes that are applied to road fuel.

Those model numbers are not U.S. models. They will not have a 2 stage clutch or<br>live independent PTO. You can still use a bush hog on one without live PTO if<br>you use an over-run coupler on the PTO. A 5ft bush is too big for one of these <br>tractors. 4ft would be the MAX and I have seen 42inch bush hogs that I would feel<br>even more comfortable using behind one of these little tractors.<br>Brent

I have been reading all these discussions on turf vs ag vs R4's and decided to<br>give my personal experience. I have mowed my yard with a Deutz Allis 5220 2WD with <br>turf tires when I probably should have waited a few more hours and the front <br>tires pushed up some grass. When I cut my grass when the ground is nice and dry <br>I can run my tractor Hinomoto E2304 (Identical to the D-A 5220 except 4WD) and<br>it leaves no marks at all. I had a John Deere 855 with R-4s, no marks. My 2304 <br>has a front end loader and I run it across the yard in 4WD with a full loader bucket <br>and it doesn't leave any marks. When I get a new tractor I plan on going with <br>R-4's just from the standpoint of durability because I do some landscaping and<br>R4's are tougher. I really think you give up alot of ability when you go with <br>turf tires. I had a Bolens 19hp, about the size of the JD 4100 and that tractor<br>just wouldn't cut it when I really needed it. Things like pulling a landscape box<br>or pulling a cut tree out of the woods. If your lawn is really delicate, swaping <br>the front tires out to prevent damage is a good idea, but I think you will really <br>get tired of doing it if you are like me and have to mow once a week and use your<br>tractor for other things between cuttings. <br>Brent<br>damage to your yard

That is probably a fair price but, I just priced a new 1999 JD790 4WD with front<br>loader for $13,700. If you are unfamiliar with the 790, they are the old 770 frame<br>with a bigger engine in them. The 770 was, I believe a 24hp tractor, the 790 is<br>rated at 30hp. <br>Brent

The 790 John Deere is 30hp I believe. The only down side to the 790 is the <br>weight. It is pretty light. Fluid in the tires would help that. As for tires, <br>you considered R-4 industrial tires? They have a bar type tread, they are wide <br>like turf tires, but give better traction. I am considering a new tractor and <br>that 790 is awfully tempting. Local dealer priced it to me in 4WD with a JD loader<br>for $13700. I am not sure that the R-4's are an option with the 790 though. <br>Brent
