Anyone know why they don't use the Cat1/Cat2 combo 3-point arms like they use on the YM359 tractor? Seems like the YT359 could run some smaller Cat2 implements.

Thanks.

New to this tractor. My temp gauge is running at mid gauge almost to the little white tick. Is this normal?

I took delivery this week of a YT359c and went with the Long because of the buttons. Also read that the diverter style in general (overall not Yanmar) don't hold as well. The Yanmar setup is much cleaner and you can feather. Was a tough decision for sure. This shows The Long on a rops...

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I get the creep while in fwd or rev but if you put the fwd-N-rev shuttle lever in Neutral does it free wheel or hold.

Trying to gather information before my final purchase decision. While going down a slope does the YT359 hold in "shuttle shift" neutral without brakes like a hydrostatic does with the foot off the pedal?

I was ordering YT359c this week but now I'm rethinking that decision.

Does the 2016 M62 have the creep function?

Individual sell. They said the backhoe had never been off and it has 3-point kit. Standard front bucket and I believe a thumb and front hyd for grapple but hasn't been confirmed. Should be getting some pictures but info I got says it's in good condition. Less than 45-50K should buy it...

it is a 2016 M62 purchased in 2017. Generally shy away from first year of a new model.

Found a low hour 2016 model. Any known issues for that year model?

I can't tow a JD310 and, ideally, I want to use whatever I get at my home 17 acres too. I've got a guy that's is suppose to be cutting in some fire breaks at the larger place which should get a lion's share of my rough road work done. Most of the rest should be closer to the pick-at-it class...

I like the M62 for it's versatility but, with no OEM cab, I think the new ones are priced 20k too high. Good used ones are hard to come by as well. The KX040 would be better at trail building on the hills and with a cutter, be a beast at cutting trails back and ditches. Controlled...

That would be the best way to handle it but doesn't match my plan. I am hiring out the controlled burns because I don't do fire. Will probably hire out a few other things but this is mostly my project for my enjoyment.
