Yanmar SA424 14 Hour Update

[@cogentdynamics]

I switched from my Kubota B7100HST which I bought 30 years ago to a new SA325 last week. Gave the Kubota to our son. The new tractor is taking tome getting used to but the loader is super handy and the tractor seems very strong. A set of pallet forks made the upgrade important and the belly mower has been a big improvement over my former PTO finish mower on our small property. Tractors are cool but there is but a small community of Yanmar owners and I appreciate your contribution to it.

Tim, I can relate. I just bought a 424 a little over 3 weeks ago and I'm going through the learning cure as well. I've operated all sorts of equipment but not much experience with front loader. My tractor just hit 7hrs today, been cleaning up some trees I had taken down. This thing has been a big help so far for an old guy like me enjoying it. Like the videos and following along as a new owner, looking forward to more info and adventure.

Glad to hear your having good luck with yours too. I always try to practice with the loader. The secret seems to be not to try and go too deep or grab too much. I’ll have to get a camera mount to video scooping horse manure. That stuff is heavy.

I just got my 424 so I can only say that the reverse pedal is new for me, I was used to shuttle shift shifting a forklift that had 3 way mast control and not having a brake pedal next to the gas is weird but I enjoy having both my hands free. It’s all easy for me, I used to fly helicopters lol. Thanks for sharing your experience and I look forward to hearing from you again.
