Yanmar 2610d steering problem

I agree with Danny.......Take it back.

normde2001,

You are partially correct...Not trying to confuse anyone, but the machine will be Completely 4wd without having to use the diff lock ONLY if the tractor is on level ground...... But if the tractor "leans" to one side or one of the tires "dips" into a rut or something, THEN the wheels start to slip (and it don't take much to make them do that), as we know these are limited-slip differentials.

As long as the tractor is on a flat surface all 4 wheels will pull, as long as there is nothing wrong with the 4WD 'system'.

I think there is something wrong with the 4WD components somewhere in his tractor.

Another problem from a new owner. As he posted, he has only had the tractor a short time. Hopefully with a warranty!! Just curious Mr Parker, is this tractor a refurb??????

WHAT????? All 4 wheels will pull?? Where do you get this stuff?

I wanted to ask that Wayne, but I'm just reading as for now. Not feeling like posting as yet.

Travis, hold on a minute. Your uh... innocence continues to astonish me. We all (except you apparently) know these tractors DO NOT have a limited slip differential in the rear axle. (or in the front or middle either for that matter) Your "as we know" mis-states what everyone here but you already knows.

Norm isn't partially correct. It is offensive for you to say that. He is entirely correct here, as he always is so far as I have seen, and you could learn a lot more than you know now by listening to him.

A 'lean' or 'dip' doesn't cancel the fact that the tractor is 4wd any time the lever is engaged. If you meant to talk about all 4 wheels pulling effectively that's what you should have said. 'Limited slip differential' is nonsense.

Please - there really are people here who know far more than you do. Your contributions are often like this one, speaking a tone of certainty when you are clearly showing you don't know what you are talking about. You just watching and learning for a while would improve the Yanmar forum.

He's all yours, Wayne

Well, Wayne, theoretically, in a lab setting, under controlled conditions, with all the loads perfectly balanced, you could maybe detect tractive forces at all four wheels. I guess.

But, Travis, pulling a bushhog around the pasture? I don't think so! The standard, run-of-the-mill differential directs torque to the wheel with the least traction. To wit, one wheel in the mud, one wheel on dry ground, the wheel in the mud is the one that spins. Would that it were not so.

I'am taking the limited slip unit out of my tractor cause it ain't working correctly. It never locks all 4 wheels in so that they all pull . I'am going to install a spool . Anyone know where I Can get a spool for a tractor ?
