Topic

I am a dealer and friend of Rick, the owner of Best Used. He is not now involved with the "reconditioned" tractors and absolutely does not deal with the vietnamese stuff. He and his associates buy nice clean low hour tractors from Japan. Each dealer then chooses how much service or reconditioning to do. At our business, we change all fluids and filters, most hoses and belts, and install a new battery and normally a seat. Then we go over the entire tractor looking for any problems, then install a loader. Finally we wax the body and paint the wheels and it is ready. Some do more or less, and you have to ask the dealer about that.

I'm not trying to sell you a tractor, I am in California so it would not be practical anyway.

I've sold a bunch of YM3110D's and they are a great tractor.

The big three are for the most part foreign made in part or in whole...but I know what you are asking. For similar quality take a look at the product coming out of South Korea. We sell Branson, but the new DK Kioti and the Century and Korean made Mahindra's are all worth investigating. The big 3 have established dealer networks and better parts distrubution systems. I'd suggest 35-40HP and 4wd. Dave

I just sold a new Branson 3510 4x4 with a loader and hoe for under $20K. Hoe comes off in 2 minutes, and back on in 3. Nice heavy subframe mount. Branson actually builds several John Deere models for the Asian market....so you could still be a JD fan. (I'm on the west coast, so I am not trying to drum up business for myself.)

West Kentucky Tractor Parts has a bunch of Yanmars they are salvaging. Nice people too. Try them at 1-270-462-2191 I've used them before with good result. Dave

I prefer the Koyker and I have installed both Koyker (nearly a hundred) and a couple of Allied loaders. All three (Leon included) are good loaders. Buy a Koyker 110 with a mount kit, joystick valve, 48" bucket, hydraulic kit, and order the 1 3/4" rams instead of the 2". It will lift faster and still has enough capacity to do back wheelies. We installed on eon a YM1610D this week, takes about 3 hours.

Once the loader is on, remind yourself all over again about tractor safety, especially about keeping the bucket low when loaded.

Koyker makes a bolt on kit for the 1910 and the 1920. We sell the Koyker and they generally mount up nicely. Buy the full kit, with hydraulic hoses, fitting, joystick valve and mount. Comes with every bolt and nut and fitting you need. Find a local dealer and save on shipping. Near Eugene, Oregon is Rick McClain at Best Used Tractors. I'm down in California. If you contact Rick, tell him I sent you. Dave...Dave's Tractor.

I'm not familiar with that model. Generally Yanmars are the best supported of the grey markets. I think Iseki's would be next. Mitsu's are a little tougher when looking for parts. All are good quality.

I'm not sure if Branson used Japanese engines in the past on there older models, but on the current generation 10 and 20 series, all are Kukje except the 4520 that is Yanmar powered.

Many of the 3-cylinder Yanmars have battery electrolyte level sensors and a corresponding light on the dash. We replace them with a similar size automotive battery and disable the light. Not a big loss of information, especially for the $300 difference in battery cost!

Wix 46022 should work for the air filter. Baldwin B179 is another good number for the oil filter.

Koyker is a nice loader. I've sold and installed dozens of them. Rick is the owner of Best Used Tractors and is a very honest guy with fair prices. Dave

As stated by Johnson445, most of the Yanmar tillers are category 1 pin size, but narrower. Most tractors lift arms can go in far enough so that is not a real problem, but you will also notice that the upper link pin hole on the tiller is a couple inches forward of being in a vetical plane with the lower pins. Yanmars use a two piece top link on the tillers and they work great, but you may find yourself messing with a standard one piece toplink to get it to the right length. Also Yanmar uses a real nice driveshaft, but since it is made for a particular tractor, the total slip available on the shaft is minimal. To summarize, you may have to put in a little effort to make it work, but it isn't too complicated.

I have sold about 70 Yanmar tillers this year and have had zero problems. We do check them out first and change the gear oil, seals if leaking and tines if needed. Tines are around $200 for a set in our area, so that is a big factor.

The FX28D series was made starting in 1984 up until about 1990. Not sure on the end date of production. I've had a few 3-digit f-series (example FX215D) that were built in 1992 and 1993, so I expect the end of the run for the FX28D (2-digit f-series) was around 1990 or so.

Expect to pay around $9K for a nice low hour FX28D, plus the loader. Prices seem to vary as much as $1K in different parts of the country. They are a little pricey, but what a tractor! I have a FX42D in stock as well, just like the 28, but with nearly 50 engine HP and a turbo.

My email is posted in my profile if anyone is interested in actual details of specific tractors. I don't mind giving prices and info, but my goal on this board is to help others with whatever limited knowledge I have, and to learn for myself as well. I prefer to discuss any possible sales by private email, just to keep the flavor of the discussion less commercial.

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.

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
