YM1720 CD \"turf porter\"

Here are two pictures of a YM1720CD "turf porter" coming from an adds website in Japan. Have you ever seen such a Yanmar ? It looks like an US market model.

Nice machine ! Icould use one like that to mow out front with.
I noticed its a rear pto belt drive machine. I wish they sold mowers like that here.

I've seen quite a few examples of rear belt drive, and rear pto drive mid mount mowers. Most were woods belly mowers.

Yes Ernie,

The situation here is really amazing. Hopefully, they are few tractors in Paris. Yesterday evening our government decided to forbid to go out at night in some cities (maybe "blackout" is the English name for this but I am not sure). I live in southern France and here we don't encounter such problems (but we have other kinds of course !).

There was a post a while back of an FX175 that was set up exactly the same. It had a similar name. Of most interest is the fact that the front axle is moved forward compared to a standard YM1720. Note that the front edge of the front tires are approximately even with the front bumper. I attached a photo I happen to have of a YM1720D which definitely shows the front axle further back than the "turf porter".

Greg,

Thank you very much for your post. I see there was "turf-porter" in the past on the board. Thanks for the picture.
