I am ready to buy a Yanmar and wanted your opinions on which to buy.
I"m looking at these:
YM1500D w/ loader and tiller YM1702D w/ tiller
I won"t be cutting much if any grass with this.. will use strictly for landscape, gardening and construction work. I need something strong and heavy enough to pull a single-shank sub-soiler through hard-baked Georgia red clay without effort.
Another question is how heavy duty are the loaders (I think the brand is bulldog (?)). I was going to use an AMC RC-30 for an upcoming job - could a yanmar with loader do the same job if I allow extra time? There is a pine tree stump I have to dig out - so the loader would need to be strong enough to dig around and pull out a heavy taproot.
I sat on both tractors and the 1500D felt a little cramped. But so does my Sears Suburban SS12 (30+ years old, completely rebuilt but it is just too light for my needs).
How much weight will the 3- point hitch pick up (for either tractor)? Will it lift a two-bottom plow? Gill pulverizer? Gannon rollover box blade? My dad"s old 8N had issues with lifting heavy attachments.
I"ve never owned a diesel anything - how much is required in maintenance?
I looked at this site and will double check the hour meters.. if 0 or a few hours I will keep shopping. http://www.yanmarowners.com/yanmarbuying.htm
