Newbie here, just saying "hello"

[smokiediesel]

Hello,

I'ma nubie here, longtime reader and just got my first YANMAR. I've enjoyed TBN for awhile, and some of this forum, but never ownd a YANMAR til now. Picked up a real nice unit about 3 weeks ago- YM1601 with a FEL. Got a real good price on it so I think. The unit appears to be really well cared for, came with a manual, receipts, fluid analysis all around, and a few tools. Hard to beet around here.
Anyway, just sayin hi, and hope to be active as time allows here. I'm not new to tractors, but to YANMAR. I have lots of experience with IH, CAT, and some with Ford. I gotta say, this little machine is powerful. Needs more wieght to use the power. Does anyone know how many other YANMAR ownders there are in New England? They guy I bought from had two, but did not know about anyone else. Maybe get a YANMAR user group/ get together in the NE area would be fun. OK, thanks for the great forums. See you.

If it's a 2wd, and not a "D" model, I hope it will pull your disc.

Yes sir, its a 4x4, and does work! If the 5' is to big, just remove outter disks if thereis a problem pulling it. alreaedy making a list of "things todo" to this little guy Like Rops, wider wheels, etc.

thanks for the welcomes, guys.
