Smoothe running engine

[meisal]

I have a YM1700. I'm just wondering how smoothe it should be running. This is my first tractor. It seems to shake a little.
Is that normal or should it be really smoothe?
Thanks

Completely normal for it make lots of noise and vibration. Nature of the beast.......wonderful, ain't it? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That feels about right to me.

Like hammering on a manhole cover with a baseball bat?

No problem, that's just what they sound like.

How much difference is there in smoothness between the 2 and 3 cylinder models of ~20 horsepower?

Just brought home a "new" Ym155D Saturday . Sounds just like my Mitsubishi . Sounds great ! Sounds normal to me . 3 cylinders are much smoother !
