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

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
