Getting ready to pull the trigger on the YT347 with loader and 3rd function joystick.

What, no backhoe ? :D

That is awesome and exciting! I've looked at those and they're pretty amazing. Far too much tractor for my needs.

The backhoe might come later. But, I may just rent when I need one.

The grapple is what we expect to make a lot of use!

Grapples are cool, I would like one, or maybe a 4 in 1 bucket. A nice thing about the YT tractors is the SSQA, which I wish were included on the smaller 424. You'll be able to put anything on there, whether you should or not!

May I live through you vicariously? That's a seriously nice machine.

If you don't post pictures, you'll be leaving all us Yanmar fans out in the cold, just sayin'....:)

Just bought the YT359 cab last week. I like it a lot so far. Did not get the 3rd function for loader yet as I can't afford it since the darn tractor cost so much. But will want that eventually as I think its needed for grapple and similar. Congrats on getting YT347.

Yup! My wife was a bit on the fence till she heard about the ssqa. She is beautiful and loves equipment, and you can't have her!

Haha, that's great! So much easier when your other half is on board. Sounds like she's been surfing "everythingattachments". My wife is awesome too. I bring her to dealerships and go figure I suddenly get treated extra special! She supports my machinery obsession, and all my crazy and not-so-crazy projects. Doesn't hurt that her dad was a mechanical engineer with several "project tractors" in the carport. On any tractor, she refers to the FEL as "the scoopy bit". :laughing:

Congrats, We've had our YT347 for about 2 months and love it. Bought it with the 3rd valve function and backhoe. I've been using my son's EA grapple; I defiantly have to get my own. I think we may have the same wife. :). Glad to see others buying YTs

Congrats on an awesome choice! I now have 150 hrs on my YT359 and I am pretty happy with it.

I am finalizing my deal, and have a question about tires.

I've always had Ag tires, and like the traction, don't mind the tracks that the leave.

The new tractor has R4's. I am interested in trying them because my rocky ground is pretty rough on the R1s.

But, are the tires swappable without changing the wheels? If I regret the choice, will I need to buy both?

Un-sure. I went for the R4's instead of the ag tires (which are narrower). Sounds like a dealer question!
