Yanmar Quality

[Rookkee22]

I want a Kubota or Kioti. However, the Yanmar 35HP tractor seems more economical, especially with the 10 year powertrain Warranty.

I am interested in hearing your experience with the Yanmar tractors.

This would be used on 6-7 acre property for snow removal, and moving fallen trees, and starting a small food plot as well.

Thanks

10 year powertrain? That is amazing!

They make solid machines. Mine is 40 years old and still going strong.

Yanmar makes a great tractor. You’ll more than likely never need that warranty.

I have had my Yanmar YT359C coming up on 5 years this coming Jan. and have had no problems what so ever and the IHMT transmission is outstanding, a very well built tractor. I am very satisfied with it.

I bought the Yanmar SA425 in the late summer of this year brand new. I was originally looking for a Kubota but couldn't find the one I wanted, new or used with a loader. So started looking at other brands. Ended up buying the Yanmar out of lack of Kubota's. So glad I did. I've owned a Kubota B7800 years ago and it was a very nice tractor but I like my Yanmar better.

If you haven't owned or operated a newer Yanmar, you don't know what you are missing. Most JD subCompacts and compacts, and even their 500/700/800 series mowers have Yanmar engines in them, that should tell you something.

You could pull off the tasks you are discussing with the SA425 on that acreage with no problem. But that YT359 is a sweet tractor if you have the coinage. Good luck.

Someone needs to go perform a welfare check on Willy!

Kidding.

The Yanmars are very well made I'm sure. Surprised at the 10 year warranty. Just wondering if that is something provided by corporate, or if it's something provided by the individual selling dealers? World wide warranty, or only in US?

Yanmar has had their 10 year power train warranty for as long as I can remember. It’s a corporate transferable warranty, even got the sticker on the side of the tractor from the factory.

Nice tractors. Unfortunately, the machines seem to last a lot longer than the dealers around here.
