OK, So thier not ATV's but they still have 4 wheels.
These are both 1991's.I think thats the only year Yamaha made tractors.They both have hydrostatic transmission and ride very smoothly and the engines are fairly quiet.The 3600 has a 359cc motor,38" cut and the 6800 has a fairly sized v-twin,not sure on HP or cc's and a 48" cut.Also the tires on the 3600 are 1 size smaller than the 6800.The 6800 I've had since 1994 (still runs like a champ)and the 3600 I bought about 2 months ago for $100 not running.I found out it didnt have spark, It ended up needing a flywheel- $275. Alot of $$ but not bad considering what I payed for it.The ignition coil came loose and slid down into the flywheel and ripped the magnet off the flywheel.The ignition coil was damaged but still useable.The magnet off the flywheel was fragmented allover inside the case(not crankcase).This morning I threw on the new flywheel and had the motor back together,put in the tractor and running in about 2 hrs.Had to take the carb off and clean the bowl and jets,,,again. Next is to get a new fuel filter.
I know most of you guys arent into lawn tractors but: I have to look good even when I'm mowing my lawn :) F*** all these cheap plastic POS lawn tractors from WALLYMART,Home DEPOT,Lowes etc.
I wish Yamaha reintroduced thier line of tractors.
Most small engine places and even yamaha dealers around here cringe when they have to work on one and some even refuse. I think they are very easy to work on; just nuts and bolts like every other machine,lol

I'll agree that they are easy to work on, I've worked on one myself at my current job. However, I think that the Walker MFG ZTR mowers are much easier to work on, although they are getting more complicated with the EFI. The little Yammi's are pretty good, reliable lawn tractors.
