Didn't know they made these - old atv

Looking on the internet at used atv's and came across this older yamaha atv with pto and sort of a 3 pt hitch. Thought it was kind of interesting, and I don't rememeber ever seeing one before.

Found another picture of one of these with a tiller, and snowblower, looks like it would of worked?

The deer hunting craze has caused a boom in equipment for tilling food plots around here. The equipment companies have responded with all kinds of scaled down implements to be used by an Atv. I admit to using a drag type spring tooth harrow behind my Atv a few times to scratch up a patch for peas.

Those were built a good while back,saw one sell at the Marion PA auction with 3 or 4 pieces of equipment 7 or 8 years ago.

Those came out when I was in high school, somewhere around '86 or '87. I remember looking at one at a show and thinking that was kind of neat. Still have a brochure for it floating around here somewhere. The 4-wheeler was equipped with an engine governor and a two-speed range transmission with very slow speeds (for a 4-wheeler) in low. The PTO was a fully independent, ASAE-standard 2000 rpm which was commonly used on garden tractors of the day. It also had a manually locking rear differential so it wouldn't tear up your lawn when mowing. It was just two-wheel drive, though - 4WD 4-wheelers were just then starting to become available.

Remembering a little about them I bought a mower off one at an auction like the one in the picture but the PTO shaft was made to turn in the opposite direction of the
garden tractors that used 2000 RPM PTO.

A couple of christmas tree growers have them and use them to mow between the tree row. I looked at one a few years ago you cannot buy parts for them anymore. I think they only made them for 1 or 2 years

They were about the nearest NOTHING EVER BUILT. To do any of the mowing or tilling you had to run slow. The air cooled engine needs air flow across the head to cool it. Thing would get so hot it would burn your legs sitting on it and lots of engine failures. Good idea on paper but just did not work out.

I had one and used it hard for about 15 years. It was a fantastic machine for its purpose. It had a fan and shroud to cool it and a governor to hold engine speed while it worked. It was well designed and tough as nails. The only repair it ever needed was something in the transmission needed to be altered so it would not jump out of gear. The machine shop had to undercut some gears in the transfer case. I'm glad the guy knew what to do to fix it. It would run in water to the bottom of the fuel tank. We thoroughly abused it and it never failed to start and run. They only built it one year-1987-but they over anticipated the sales, and you could buy them new for several years. I would have kept running it, but got a Kawadski Mule and the Terrapro became sort of obsolete.

The Terrapro brings back a lot of memories.
