New to Yanmar

JT White · Jul 22, 2011

Hi all. I'm JT and new to Yanmar and "REAL" tractors. Introduced myself (Nubee from Northern Indiana) in the Introduction Forum, figured I best do it here as well. I have a 1980 Yanmar 2310, 3 cyl diesel. Had it for about two weeks and love that thing already. Have 6 acres to mow and a bunch of trees to deal with and feel this tractor will be the ticket for those chores and many more. I just didn't get an operator's manual with it, which stinks. But have learned how to operate it pretty good so far. Just don't know anything about the oil's or the level's or adjustments. This thing fires right up and runs quite well and everything seems to work, like I think it should. Hope I'm right on that part. Anyway, I'm sure I will have some questions as time goes. Thanks for being here.

Welcome to TBN and the world of Yanmar, You found the right place to come to with any questions or concerns you might have, these guy's here really know their Yanmar's,

You have a great looking tractor and we're sure you'll get many years of service just as we have with ours, looks as though it has enough rear tires to last a lifetime:thumbsup:

Tires look like similar tread to mine althogh those are a larger tire all around than my 2000 it appears. Nice front weights!

Why do your pictures have "CAT" on them, kind of semi transparent?

I would say copyright, right?

Yep. Sorry about that. It's meant for my Powder Coating pics, that I post from time to time. I forgot that I had my resizer program setup for that. (Kustom Powder Coating by CAT). I can re-do them if it's preferred.

No i dont care and really nobody else does. I just thought it was weird, if someone labels pics its usually their name or something. Like i would have thought you would have put JT or JTW or something i just found it odd. I doubt that anyone will try and reclaim your tractor pics though, i have not everthought about watermarking mine and was wondering why anyone would, but if your posting business related images i can see.
