I am not a farmer but have been reading this thread and came across this on my local craigslist and thought of you guys. 3pt. hitch furrower
What a beautiful piece of steel.
Winston, glad you enjoyed the pics. The rows aren't as straight as they look.

Wow now that is a piece of steel!! that looks like its for a big farmer, although one row at the time?? I wonder why they did not just use some old worn disks instead of cutting that blade up? That thing looks heavy and HD!

...and gives me an idea of how I may be able to use my old blade!
Man, I wish I had a welder!!!
Nice job on the build Paul thanks for your contribution to the thread! I hope the okra does well yumm makes me think of okra pie yes siree! :thumbsup:
Man Scotty that guy in the CL pics was serious about his welding and cutting makes me wonder what those hills/furrows would look like and what he had in mind!

Just a quick update. I used my hiller yesterday. I set the discs at the same width as the rear tires, angled them in and drove backward down the rows -- this moves the nicely tilled dirt before I run it over with the tires. I adjusted the hillers inward a few inches each and ran down the rows a second time. The 2nd run didn't do a lot, but it did build the hills a little higher and reduced the trough down the middle. Anyway, I'm very pleased with the result -- see pic. :thumbsup:
Good looking row. :thumbsup:

Winston1 I live in Winnsboro. Can you recommend a Yanmar mechanic? I have a FX 24D
Not right off. I'll do some asking around. What's her problem?

Front wheel drive works but rear wheel drive giges me NOTHING. Not even a noise in the transmission area. But the PTO will work. This is a rebuild from VN in Mesquite, if I had known then what I know about them now I would not have bought one of their remanufactured/rebuild/repaint machines. I need to meet you some day to buy you a cup of coffee since we are neighbors. My middle name is Winston.
My wifes grandparents were Smiths. Grand dad was Richard Smith. They were from Winsboro.
My 2002d is a vn refurb. I experianced numerous problems but finally have a dependable tractor. With your pto working and 4 wheel drive working I would suspect a brake pinion shaft or differential problem. Note this thread. Different model but they are all similiar. Will it move when engaging the differential lock? Yanmar Tractor Support Message Board • View topic - Yanmar 2610 Right Rear wheel has no power to it
I notice Hoyes stocks a ring gear and pinion for the differential. Hope that doesn't have any significant meaning. Yanmar Tractor Parts: RING GEAR & PINION SET (REAR AXLE)
For what it is worth, we are probably breaking all forum rules here by coming in with your problem on this thread.

I do not want to upset any one, with the thread used. If you can direct me to the proper thread or start a new thread and tell me how to get there that would be great. I came here to get my tractor operational, not to upset any person. The differential lock makes no difference. No power to either wheel.
When you open up the Yanmar forum you will see a little box over to the left of the sceen that says "post new thread". Just click on that and your good to go. Doubt anyone is going to get upset. You probably have some pretty serious issues in your rear end. I would probably first pull the pto assembly to have a look. Quite naturally that is going to cause the fluid to have to be drained. I guess you have no warranty? Do you have any manuals? Parts or repair?
