I would begin with the range position switch. To check it turn the key off, hold the display button and turn the key back on. A screen will appear that says "Checker", release the display button. Press and hold the display button again. The next screen will appear saying "Switch, Meter, T/M"...

Engine speed and hydraulic flow are proportional. As far a a diverter, the YT3 series tractor has a dual hydraulic pump. One pump controls the steering, PTO clutch and provides flow to the I-HMT. The other pump provides flow to the loader, PBK, rear remotes and 3-point. As for a steering...

The clutch is not necessary to operate the YT3 series tractor. Some use the clutch in the same manner as an inching pedal, for when small movements are wanted. As far as shifting ranges as mentioned above, this should only be done when the tractor is stopped. The clutch is not required, but...

One for ignition and one for fuel cap.

I have seen the WR Long third function do that. That is also a dealer installed option, and not something wrong with the tractor. WR Long products are usually great, as are Yanmar, but just like everything that is manufactured there is the occasional problem. Kudos to your dealer for...

PTO and power to the ground are the main difference. If you are doing ground engaging work or something that requires more PTO power, (52 vs. 39.5) consider the YT359, if just working with hydraulic implements and attachments, the YT347 may be best suited for you. Both are phenomenal machines...

There is a new app available that was launched by Yanmar America that can help you to schedule service, contact support, register equipment, and buy Yanmar parts online through the BuyYanmar.com website. There are also articles and tractor tips, a dealer locator, quick reference guides, spec...

None of the current models of Yanmar Tractors in North America have DEF.

Having the interface without the program will not help. The code you have if for the PLV (Pressure Limiting Valve) exceeding the number of openings or time in the open state. This will need to be replaced by the dealer, but they should find the cause prior to replacement. The fuel system...

On the YT3 tractors, the R4 tires offered by Yanmar should be programmed to the 610 mm size in the instrument cluster. R1 are 625, R3 are 570. Failure to change this setting will have your settings off for ground speed. Might not seem like a big deal until you consider the benefit of being...

Both transmissions, both variable, both make wheels turn, I can give you that. Now being a scaled down version, take a look, they are not the same. Mechanically they are very different. As pictured above, the shaft you see on the right of the I-HMT is the input shaft. Moving to the left is...

Didn't see the video at first. See above post. They are very different, but do share in a few areas. Just like the Continuously Variable Transmission, in the title is different, so is the Vario. I don't recall ever seeing the Vario in any literature before for the I-HMT.

I concede that the Fendt is not a CVT in a traditional sense. After watching this, I understand more about it. That said, the I-HMT is not a scaled down version of this vario transmission. While it uses some of the same principles, there are major differences in the operation. The engine is...

Not the same. Continuously variable Vario Transmission (CVT). Does not work the same.

I-HMT stands for Integrated Hydro-Mechanical Transmission. It is not a scaled down version of this transmission. It has the hydraulic pump and motor on the output shaft from the engine. The pump always rotates. With the swash plate in what would be the neutral position in a hydrostatic...
