Thanks Mitch heres a few picturesView attachment 270170View attachment 270171View attachment 270172View attachment 270173
Used it yesterday for the first time with the rotavator wish we had got one years ago!!

Thats a very sharp looking tractor! I am jealous, you have received a very nice setup. I looks like it was completely remanufactured, and you have heavy duty agricultural tires installed as well. I believe that I have found the rotavator, and the manual, listed below. The manual is below is linked to a PDF file on the page, and reads: product manual. Thanks for the photos, and post some more once your start using it around your farm! Glad to hear that it is working out so well! I need to purchase a rotavator myself, however I bought a single plow this year, and used that to turn the garden beds, and then used a hand held, gas powered cultivator. I like the stone walls you have. I wish that I had stone walls similar to that, however ours in New England, are just stacked stone walls around the property from the original settlers around the late 1700's. You may want to considered having your rear tires filled with liquid balast if they are not all ready to counterweight the front end loader when you are carrying a load. Well, great tractor, and enjoy! Please let me know if you need any additional information from the service manual. I would be glad to provide it on here for you.

Thanks Mitch just a bit concerned that the rotavator states 25hp and our tractor is only 15 - having said that used it yesterday as i mentioned previously and worked absolutely fine at the lowest PTO speed (540)

 

[ballaterach]

re my last post bit confused as to HP some places say that our Iseki TX1510 is 17HP and others 15 (or even 14.8). The other thing which perhaps someone can advise on is manufacture date - info which has been requested by Insurance Companies

Your tractor's model number helps give a breakdown: the "15" portion indicates PTO horsepower. Since the engine has to spin a lot of drivetrain through dragging lubricant, power the water pump and generator drive, spin the cooling fan, and so forth, it is actually more powerful than that, probably about 17-18 hp. A common rule of thumb on compact diesel machines is 1.2 times the PTO horsepower to get engine horsepower.

According to Ed Krampitz, a compiler of Mitsubishi information, the K3B engine delivers 16-18 horsepower at the flywheel. So depending on how Iseki specified engines, that is in the proper range.

Tractor data.com says the TX1510 was produced 1978-1981. Sometimes there are date stamps on the wheels. Barring that, one could estimate based on serial number, possibly. Let us know what you find.

Many thanks indeed for the information. The serial number is 000945 I will have a look at the wheels as well

Hi,
I did find this information, so it appears that your tractor was built in 1981. I hope this helps a bit..


Example serial number list:
Year Number
1980 501

1981 879 <<< 900
1982 1034
1983 2103


Example: if your serial number is 900, then your tractor was built in 1981.
The list only shows the number from the first tractor built in each year. Unless you happen to have the first first tractor off the production line, then your particular number will not be on the list. Your number will lie between two listed numbers.

Glad I could help! I have heard that when some tractors are refurbished, especially in Vietnam, they start the hour meter over from the time it was refurbished. That may be the case, or it is possible that you have a very low hour tractor. My grandfather has a John Deere that he bought new in the 1980's that only has about 290 hours on it, so it is possible..however you have a bulldog loader and I believe that they install that brand a lot when they do the refurbs in Vietnam, so it is very possible that they started the hour meter over. You have a very nice tractor either way, and mine predates the hour meter installs, so I am not sure how many hours I have on my Iseki, but I'm sure it is quite high. How is the rotavator working out? I want to purchase one this summer, however I need a post hole digger and a wood splitter first.

Hi Mitch thanks again for your help. The Rotavator is the 4 foot wide one of the type you found for me and is just brilliant. Our land having been glacial is full of stone but the roti isn't bothered by stones of any size and there are some big ones. Still a fair bit to do but having done previous areas with a small petrol driven hand rotavator I wish we'd got the tractor and rotavator much sooner. It rotavates to a much deeper depth than the hand one. Thinking of getting a rake attachment to rake up the stones and weeds in due course but its making best use of limited cash
