I mis-stated above. The clutch is required to change directions. I went out and practiced for a bit, and it is absolutely necessary. The direction change does not require a stop.

So you can be going 10mph forward and then slam it to reverse? ? ? OUCH.

It says that you must slow down in the manual. I would venture to guess that it would lift you out of the seat if you tried it at 10mph. It works well for loader work, I wouldn't want to change direction when moving fast.

I've got eight hours now on my new YM347. I really like this tractor. The dealer's 5 miles away and the same outfit I've been buying Case from for many years. They picked up Yanmar three years ago or so. I know and trust their service manager and he tells me they're just not having problems with these. This YM347 replaces a 2007 Case DX 45 cab that didn't have a loader as it was primarily a mowing tractor. I mow with a 2001 NH TN75D now and this will be a landscaping/grounds maintenance/yard-chore tractor. This is the first open station tractor I've owned in 15 years. It's nice being a little closer to mother nature again.

I'm loving that it's gear-drive too.

That’s a really good lookin tractor and a beautiful property. Congrats on the new YM347, nice to see somebody on the forum has one now. It’s one of the tractors on my short list.

Well, no Yanmar dealers in Indiana, actually sell tractors… so, they are out. Too bad too, they look like a decent unit.
