YM2610D vs. FX26D

rdh54 · Dec 20, 2009

Given the choice between a YM2610D and a FX26D which would you prefer and why? I would like to use one on my 5 acres with bushhogging and occasional FEL work.

I have a 2620D. The power is great and parts availability sould be better. I have had no major problems. Go for the 2510D.

They are both very good tractors, but I would go with the FX26D and here is why. Flat Floor, easier to get on and off, Power Steering, FX26D is newer, while some parts are harder to come by, I don't think you will buy as many as you would for the YM2610D. I think only about 5 out of every 100 of our parts orders are for F & FX models, of course there are a lot more YM models. Most of the YM2610D's don't have Power steering, you can add Power steering to it, but for the price difference you can move up to the FX. My wife has an F model that she has had for about 6 years and the only thing that has been put on it is filters.

P.S. I would worry more where I bought the tractor than anything else, I know there are some very good dealers, but there are some very bad dealers also. I would not buy a Yanmar unless it had a UTDA sticker on it.
