    PTO not working for post hole attachment on Yanmar 1500 tractor

    Wow, I was not aware that I had to get attachments for a "sub compact" tractor! I am very tempted to sell tractor anyway. This one doesn't have a front loader and now may have a bad PTO, not to mention all the attachments that I have bought are not for a sub compact tractor. I might try to get...

    PTO not working for post hole attachment on Yanmar 1500 tractor

    I think it has a live PTO. When I first tried it, the PTO shaft wasn't turning when I had the tractor in gear. When I put it in neutral, it started turning. The PTO shaft still turned when I let the clutch out, when still in neutral. Is this expected?

    PTO not working for post hole attachment on Yanmar 1500 tractor

    I will try it at lowest speed and look at the PTO shaft to see if it is turning (don't think it was). It was the first time I used it so it had a brand new shear bolt and actually didn't even dig into the ground at all so I think the shear bolt is ok.

    PTO not working for post hole attachment on Yanmar 1500 tractor

    So I finally got a chance to use my new post hole digger with my old Yanmar 1500 tractor. I checked that the PTO turned and turned the gearbox and auger after I installed it so I thought I was good to go. However, when I started the first post hole, as soon as it barely made contact with the...

    3 point hitch won't go down

    Its working now. When I started looking into it a little more, I noticed that it looked like the actuator piston wasn't coming out enough to dump (it was sticking). I sprayed a little WD-40 around the actuator piston area and cycled the 3 point lift a few times. It works great now!

    3 point hitch won't go down

    I have a Yanmar 1500 and just got done changing the transmission/hydraulic fluid and filter and went t o raise and lower the 3 point hitch. It went up but would not go down. I didn't have an attachment on it so at first i thought it wouldn't go down because it didn't have any weight on it. I...

    I am changing the transmission/hydraulic fluid on my Yanmar 1500 tractor. I am a new tractor owner and just want to make sure I have the right fluid-see pic.

    From tubed to tubeless tires?

    Actually it just occurred to me that the tires may already be tubeless. I guess I will know when I take them to a tire shop!

    From tubed to tubeless tires?

    I recently purchased new front tires and tubes for my Yanmar 1500 tractor from Hoye tractor equipment. However, I just noticed that it says “tubeless” on the tires. Can I really just install the tire without the tube (probably bring it to a tire place)?

    Compression Valve

    Thanks for all the replies! Yep, I meant decompression valve (control). I live in Alabama so it rarely gets really cold and just bought a new battery so I think it should be fine not using when I start it (unless I do crank it up when we do have a cold snap). Thanks again for all the info b

    Compression Valve

    I recently bought a Yanmar 1500 tractor and have a question. Before I went to look at the tractor, I watched some Youtube videos to get familiar with some basic starting/operating a tractor. One of the videos showed someone using the compression valve when starting the tractor. When I went to...

    Compression Valve

    I recently purchased a Yanmar 1500 tractor. When I was doing some reading up on starting/operating a tractor since it is my first tractor, I saw a Youtube video where they used the compression valve when starting the tractor. When I checked out the tractor before I bought it the previous owner...
