</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I am in Spokane, and have been looking for tractors for over 8 months)</font>

Bob, Take look at www.ernies.net in NW Oregon. Last spring I purchased a Yanmar F20D from Ernie. Great guy, real honest and up front, and he has a good supply of parts tractors. I don't have one complaint or regret. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

There's another grey market importer in SW Washington, I won't mention by name, but the zero hour meters and bs about Yanmar IS a John Deere did not sit well with me.

Thanks Inspector...
I have been watching the EFC site for a while now, but have not found anything to meet my needs just yet. I'll keep trying!
Thanks again

Might want to give Buck a call, he may have some not listed on his website.

I purchased a 1700 about five years ago. I gave 3K for the tractor and tiller, the price included changing all fluids, replacing bad seals and a new seat. I sold the tractor the first quarter of this year and got my money back. I had excellent luck with the tractor, just needed a 4wd with FEL.

NEED HELP. Can anyone provide me with the technical specifications (weight, length, 3 pt distances, PTO size) that is required for a bush hog that has to fit a YANMAR YM1700. Can an older bush hog fit one of these Grey Market tractors (in particular, the YANMAR YM1700)???

Thanks,
Dell

I can't give you most of the info of fthe top of my head.. but I'm sure a dealer will pop in.

The PTO is a standarg 1 3/8 6 spline pto.

I used the shorter of the two cat 1 toplinks that TSC sold.

I changed out my lower lift arms for the generic 'ford' lift arms that TSC sells. They were longer, and let me use implements with a wider pin spacing. I still had to turn the pins in on some stuff, like a 30" scoop, and a box blade. Might still have to do that with a rotary mower, but if so.. it won't 'hurt' anything. Just get something that has pins you can reverse. ( That said, I used alot of stuff that that a tractor bigger than a 1700 might tote.. that 30" scoop, for instance.. it was quite a load, and I had to add a few hundred pounds of front weight to use it properly. A 4' mower will be easier to hook up than the 5' mower I used.

Look at pinning carefully. For instance.. it is easy to turn the pins 'in' on a kk mower.. but on some brands.. like a howse for instance.. it may not be so easy.

I'm gonna guess at 1800# weight for the ym1700.. lets see how close I am!

Thanks. To be honest, I haven't even went and looked at the target cutter. I just wanted to get some information to see if the 1700 would even pick up the thing (save me a trip).

The 3pt lift on my ym1700 is stronger than the lift on my ford 8n.. my 8n lifts 700-800 ponds befor ethe pump strains and the front end gets light.

The front of the yanmar 1700 gets light a bit over 500# on the lift.. however the lift itself can do much more. Front weights help. Before I had front weights.. my 1700 was a teeter totter when I had a full scoop of clay in the 30" scoop on the rear.. was kinda fun for a few seconds anyway!
