made a deal to buy a Yanmar garden tractor today from a local friend. Two cylinder diesel. Also bush hog, disc, cultivator, box blade, road grader blade, cement mixer 3 point, middle buster, and four foot tiller 3 pt. hitch.
just right size for my garden and road dressing.

Maffie, only thing I;m missing is a front end loader. A friend has a 48hp Kubota with FEL that I borrow any time. Will use that one to move gravel for driveway, and to put out my compost pile in the garden this fall.
Sounds like it's about like my Yanmar; congrats on the purchase. Mine has been a good tractor. What model is yours?
You'll like the little tractor but that 2 cylinder will make you deaf. Sounds like both rods knocking all the time. That thing will run all year on 5 gallons of fuel though

PCP, I'll have to look on the model, not sure. It runs like a top and isn't too loud.

fella I got it from did say he's never used a full tank in a days use.

We use to have a yanmar 1710d 4x4 with a front end loader we used at work to move stuff around with and pull a box blade to keep up the drive way once a week we usually it got ran an hour to 2 hours a day we usually burnt around 8-10 gallons a year. The fuel economy on those yanmar are easy on the pocket book
