I love watching/working Yanmars. They are beast in small packages. I have s YM2002D and love it.

love the channel bro, where i live looks exactly like where youre at and i was always worried my ym1700 was going to tip but the way you handle that little rig gives me hope lol. just wish i had that foot throttle, nobody sells them and nobody has pictures of how they hook up so i cant even cobble my own together

I think you owe that tractor money. Lord knows, I have worked my Yanmar's very hard. Great little machines.

Need a longer chain. You should've been on top the hill when you started pulling. I'm saying this, because so many people have died from tractors front end lifting up and the entire tractor flipping back on them. Don't get confident in your machine, it'll kill you before you even know it

Have you thought about putting a small winch on your tractor. It would have prevented you from going into that deep place and pull it out. I have thought about putting one on my yanmar 1500D. Just a thought and always be safe and have a good one.

ok, this is going to come off like the internet safety police; but please take it as a simple, helpful tip.. the "pull" of the load should be at or below the centerline of the rear axle.. with the chain hooked on top of the forks.. it will naturally cause the tractor ( when chain tension is reached) front wheels to come up.. if the load is below the centerline of the wheels ( say at the hitch pin ) then the tractor will do the opposite ( front wheels dig) thank you for making yanmar content I have a 155D and I cannot believe how powerful, simple, reliable and useful they are..
