That is some good info. I'll be honest, what I got out of that is I need a good snatch block. 🙂

Lol. Yeah, I've got the shorts comment before. It's the cab's fault.... It makes you forget that you're working a tractor like my youth. Gotta love air conditioning when it's 105° outside, and the heat when it's in the 20s. I do forget some days that I'm actually doing work. 🙂

I tried the bucket curl. I tried pushing the bucket flat, none of that worked. Pond is so thick from 50 plus years of just sitting there. Even with me walking out into it, it's a full 12 or 14 in to the packed clay bottom. So using the bucket curled downwards and pushing upward did raise up the...

Well I appreciate all the replies. Especially about the tire choice. The deal I got on the tractor says it came with R4's instead of R1's. My old yanmar gray model tractor had r1's and I never got it stuck, but it was also a 25 horse. My intentions were just to clean the bank out a little bit so...

Yup.... Thankfully, there's a large plate underneath the oil pan that stopped me from going any deeper... It was not my finest hour for sure.

Well, it finally happened. I've only got about 100 hours on my yanmar YT 359 tractor. Just long enough to feel comfortable and try and do something I probably shouldn't have. I was adding a run for my meat pigs to have access to the pond for water. I got a little too aggressive on how far I...

Howdy y'all I finally got around to finishing the install for the dome light switch to be activated when the door opened. I used a door jamb switch from Amazon. Tied it into the dome light switch and ran a separate ground wire all the way across the ceiling and down the b pillar. I decided to...

Thanks for all the replies gentlemen. I'd seen that rebar tie wire on tractor supplies website. Wasn't sure about the twist power of it so I appreciate that feedback. I don't really need a 100year supply of it that comes in those big rolls 🤣🤣 but I guess it's a one-time purchase for the rest of...

Howdy y'all I unexpectedly found myself without any extra pieces of baling wire laying around. I don't even know where I got the stash that I was using. All of my round bales are net wrapped, so I have no need for baling wire from a square baler. What is everyone else using as an alternative...

I grew up on my grandpa's open station tractors and he had the field tractor which was an old Massey Ferguson with the fabric bonnet look like a little house on the prairie bonnet to keep you out of the sun. And the yellow Massey was the loader tractor that he used for dirt work and everything...

I have the 359c. I grew up on my grandpa's farm, and None of his tractors had cabs. That's just one perk I wanted. It took me a minute to get used to the A/B mode- but I can pretty much do everything in 2nd gear. I only shift into 3rd when I need to get somewhere fast. The shuttle shift was also...

I'm sorry to hear that he passed away. I did have my YT359 serviced at the Karen's dealership before Christmas. There was mention of him opening a dealership in the Canton area.

I forgot that I took one picture of the dome light switch wiring. The bottom wire that is taped up, that is the wire that you will add to and run over to the door jamb switch. The door jamb switch that I purchased from Amazon grounds to the frame, and has one tab on the back to connect to the...

Morning y'all. I'm working on the dome lot to be activated with a door being opened. I took the dome light off and found that you can add a ground to the bottom pin of the dome light switch, and that will activate the dome light when the dome light is in the middle switch position. I took a lot...
