Yanmar RSB1501 Tiller

[Vizslaman]

Hi Guys.

I am trying to get information on the Yanmar RSB1501 Tiller that I have.

1. what market was this sold to. ?

2. What Yanmar Tractor was it intended to be used with.

I managed to get replacement tines from HOYE but that is about all I managed to find.

There appears to be an electrical module with a single cable with 4 pins going into the module but nothing coming out of it.

I contacted Yanmar EU and they are as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Any information or help greatfully received.

I suspect it was sold with the F series tractors such as seen in this video. Yanmari mullafrees, Yanmar tiller - YouTube

I would agree. Tractor Ernie would know much more. He has a F235 with the UFO control panel. Somehow that panel and the tillers operator together with some electrical smarts. I'm only learning about all this as the Japanese manuals for the UFO and with member TractorGuy providing a way to translate those pages.

Are you using it with the Ferguson FE35 ??? The module talks with the Yanmar UFO control system on the Yanmar F & FX Series machines that I'm aware of.

@bmaverick Yes I am using it with the FE35 so not using the electronic gizmo. I got local engineering company to make up new adjustment rods for the discharge flap.

As these tillers are hard to find info and images on, would it be possible to snap a few pixs and attach them here please. I'm trying to collect some info on these machines, however the way Yanmar lists them, it's always with a tractor and not as a separate item until the later 1990s.

Thanks!

Yes no problem.

I will be with the Tiller tomorrow so can take a few photos.
Any part in particular you want photos of ?

Thanks a bunch! And good finds too!

That was a very quick turn around.

Indeed it has that very short PTO shaft. Does that fit your machine or does it need to be longer?

hi

I have not tried it with the FE35 yet
The previous owner used it on a kubota (not sure of the model).
I can take photos of any area you may ne interested in.

The FE35 ground speed may be a problem. These tillers like slow ground speed.

Yes, I would agree. Both the Yanmars and John Deere's have lower speeds and creeper gears too.

 

[Vizslaman]

I will try it and see how it goes. If it is not suitable then I will move it on

While my tiller is not a yanmar tiller (hard to find in my area anyway. They couple I found were with a tractor, not yanmars but they did not want to sell separately). So I bought one from a local guy (then it had to shipped, what he had was already sold but had not been picked up. )I did get a slight price break by doing my own setup (install a few bolts for upper link connection and gear oil for gear box and tiller drive.
Long story, but from my tiller, a few others I tried out (very briefly) and a friends that convinced me I wanted a tiller on my tractor, tillers in general prefer (or at least perform better) at slower speeds.
I am not familiar with the FE35, but the slowest gear you have is what I would use, expect multiple passed from different directions if ground had not been tilled fairly recently.

I've not seen a gear speed index for you machine at:
TractorData.com Ferguson FE-35 tractor information

Maybe go as slow as the FE35 can, and just dig in lightly on the first go around, then get a bit deep on the next pass, and then the next one till you are satisfied it will work.

To give some comparison info. My yanmar’s range 1 1st gear is rated at 0.6 mph. This would be my gear/range selection choice for untilled ground compared to the FE35’s 1.2 mph
If you ground has been tilled previously (previous growing season) I think you will have very good results with your tractor and tiller combo.
If you are tilling ground that has not been tilled in several years (2+) you will be frustrated with 1st pass results. Be patient, make multiple passes if possible at 90 degrees to the last pass. Allow some time for the ground to dry if damp between passes. When you go back to same directional passes, try to till 180 degrees from 1st pass.
If a heavy clay soil, have a soil sample test performed (our local extension office does this at minimum cost) and add products as recommended. Gypsum is good in clays to loosen the clay. Fertilizer companies will fo soil test typically and usually free, but expect to sell you product. (Reasonable expectation in my opinion).
If you can not get acceptable results with this tiller, you probably want to consider a counter rotating tiller (pricy however).

The black box on top of the tiller is an automatic leveler, you plug it in the back of the tractor and it will keep the tilling depth level.
Your tractor has to have the plug in the back and a hydraulic cylinder on the 3 point for it to work.
Its called a UFO.

And the million dollar question is, what does UFO mean? What is the acronym describing????


Yanmar makes sooooo many different tiller models. It would make your head spin.

I still don't understand why there are RS1200, and a RS1201 or a RS1202 or a RS1203 or a RS1204. What does the last number mean in all this???

And here we are talking about an RSB1501. What does the -01 mean vs. a RSB1500 ???

Is there a cheat sheet out there or a Yanmar model definition for tiller models one can glean from ???

Vizslaman,

I did not forget about you sir.

I've combed so many places looking for the tiller info. I was able to find a RSB1504 manual. The -01 still alludes me.

See attached. :thumbsup:
