Ideal flow rating should be in the high 20 to middle 30 microns. If a lower micron rated filter is chosen, then a taller filter is required to make up the surface area for the same flow.

How many Rural King stores are near you? Then ask how many have RK service repairs. If you have at least 2 stores with service within an hour drive, I would say sure give them a try. Like @AaronM mentioned, it's the support and the ability to work on them yourself. I went with the Gray...

Several TBN members are not into building, but have it delivered and dropped in the perfect spot to use. Most are delivered within 50 miles for free delivery. A 8x20 runs $1,800 to $2,400. 8x20 deep.

Yes, Yanmar TF500A or Deere Hy-Gard are suitable for your machine. (y)

The JD950 is a 100% Yanmar YM4300 made machine in Japan in JD green paint. It is the classic CAT-1 3-point. You need to purchase another PTO shaft and modify it to the proper length to use the tiller on the JD3020. What model rotary tiller do you have? Is it the Deere one with the...

The gray market YM1602D is very much like the domestic YM220D with the white headlamp fascia. The early YM220D machines are a little different. The dash layout is even very similar, the seat controls are nearly the same, and the engine is in the same family series.

OK, after looking at all the photos, this machine is mis-marked. This a VN imported machine. The engine ID plate is exactly the same as a YM1602D. Your image, A Fredricks restored YM1602D, like @winston1 pointed out, Your layout of controls by the seat 100% match a YM1602, not a...

We need the engine ID plate. This will tell what you really have. I'm very suspicious of the model ending in DT. The D means 4WD and the T turbo. There are no turbos on models less in the YM series of a YM2500. I've seen models ending in A, B, D, F, M, R, S, T and Z.

Did you verify what tractor model you have?

Per @AaronM suggestion that your machine is possibly mis-marked, I went to look for those brake boots. Nothing listed for a YM1610. Yet, they do show up for a YM1602. Brand-M has them in-stock, down in Texas. (y) https://brandmparts.com/collections/ym1602-chassis-parts-brake

I wonder if the OP has the wrong tractor decal on his machine. The YM1610 and YM1602 have a common engine, the 3T75U. Just the YM1602 has two more trailing letters of NB. @AaronM , you bring up a good point. (y)

I would pull a drum with spikes, then any speed the tractor goes the aeration happens.

The YTOG has the manuals for your machine for free. (y) You will know the part numbers and then the YTOG Resource Page for all the parts suppliers. :cool:

If you are frugal, use old cell phone(s), put it in an enclosure with a power source. There are apps to make it into a security device and monitor. It will even send you live-feeds.

Most of the Mitsubishi and Satoh manuals are on the Tractor Forum site. I know, I uploaded about 45 of them. (y) To see this part of the site, you must login. https://www.tractorforum.com/forums/cut-size-tractors.1000010/
