YANMAR F13D

[NCGMAN]

Has anyone heard or had any experience with the Yanmar F13D, 16 HP,4x4.
Small tractor but I believe it would run a sub compact tiller, Right?? I work a small garden and use a boom to pull "small" trees out of the woods. The tractor is on the Southland Equipment site. I've read this is a reliable tractor sales location. $2700.00 what ya'll think????

No direct experience. However, I would question the 16hp number.

The number after the F is the PTO HP of the tractor. The F13 would be a 13 PTO HP tractor.

According to my owners manual, my F16 is only a 18.5 HP motor. I know it's not much, but I would guess a F13 would only be a 15 hp motor.

I'm no expert, so pls don't quote me. Just do some research before buying.

I love my F16. Great design. WB is a tad short, but that makes for a super-tight turning radius.

I have no experience with the F models, but I think I could find some uses for it.

NCG,
Just about any Yanmar is a realiable tractor as long as it is purchased from a reputable dealer.
That said the 13D is one of the less popular F's.
It's too small for most people.
They are neat looking machines though.

First off, I think those little Yanmar tractors are about the coolest thing I have seen in years. An F13 is about the same size as my brothers ym1401d, and it is a very capable tractor. It can handle a 4' tiller ,no problem,or a 5 ft rear mower deck, 5 ft rear blade, loader. Dont let its size fool you, the horsepower these little tracors have is not a problem, its usually traction/weight issues that keeps them from keeping up with the bigger say 18+hp Yanmars.

Talk to Ben at southland equipment he will do you right.The 2210B he has is a lot bigger for the same money.

 

[BruceR]

Is that your old 2210B Gizmo ?

[Gizmo36]

yes and I know it is in good shape .I did a lot of work on it that it did not need .just because I thought I was going to keep it. a good paint job and it would be a nice tractor.

I love my F13. I have the factory yanmar 4 foot tiller with mine. It is very heavy but the tractor has no problem handling it. Also have a 60" john Deere 261 mower deck that the tractor has no problem handling. I have converted a 6.5' Meyers snow plow to 3 point mount and it has no problems at all pushing it. Only down fall of the F series is finding new parts. My water pump went out and the yanmar dealer will not sell me one due to the tractor being a grey market tractor.

 

[kenmac]

you would need to check with someone like Hoye tractor or Fredricks equipment. Did you locate a water pump ?

 

[Dieseldoctor03]

I haven't yet but I just got a line on a guy that had the same issue here in Des Moines that found where to get the.

 

[kenmac]

At any rate, welcome to the site. If you have trouble finding any parts for your tractor, try the ones I listed above. They have a very large supply of parts for yanmars

Well, I may have spoken too soon. I don't see an F13 listed on Hoye's or Fredricks site. It would be worth a call anyway

 

[Dieseldoctor03]

Thanks. Ya I was on howes site and the smallest they list is an f14. I will figure something out if I have to rebuilt it myself. Be nice to have it going before the snow flyes.

One of the old timers who used to post here said that if he can't locate a water pump for a customer, then a shop that rebuilds automotive water pumps can put generic Japanese car parts (impeller, bearings, seals) into your housing to make you a new pump. Yanmars are designed like that, many wear components are generic and can be replaced by a competent shade tree mechanic wherever you are in the world.

 

[Dieseldoctor03]

Thanks for the info California. I don't think if have an issue rebuilding it as I'm a heavy truck tech just have to find the right parts
