Yanmar tractor wheelbase specs?

Quazzi · Jun 13, 2004

I'm trying to compare tractors. I can find web-sites that list specs for several tractors but only things like weight, height, length, width, HP, and years but none that spec the wheelbase and I've searched several user/news groups. Can you all tell me what your various Yanmar tractor wheelbase (front axle center to rear axle center) dimensions are?
Thanks so much,
Jason

YM240 (US equivalent of YM2000), sold in 1980 or 1981:
The Owners Manual shows 58.7", or 61.6" with 4wd.

Why is the wheelbase so important of you know all the other measurements?

Quazzi · Jun 13, 2004

I'd like to compare wheelbase for several reasons on making a tractor purchase/sale decision. I think actually its one of the more important measurements/specs. I thought the lack of wb spec was odd. The main reason is wheelbase makes a huge difference in loader use/function. Comparative to the overall length of the tractor a longer wheelbase tractor will be much more stable with a loader.

The loader model should also be based on the tractor frame size, which I would assume the loader manufacturer has done his/her homework on.
But I got an answer to my question, thanks. And welcome to TBN by the way.

What model are you looking at? The people on this sight are very helpful. If one of us has the model/s you're interested in we may just wander to the barn and measure the WB for you.

I'm curious about the wheelbase of any of the Yanmar models but more interested in the mid-sized stuff like the 15xx, 16xx, 17xx and 18xx.
Thanks to all who provide useful replies with their wheelbase.

Model 1700LD (early model): wheelbase = 55 inches - give or take a fraction; width of rear tires - using my tire size = 48.5 inches. Hope this is helpful in some way.

Yes these are some of the sites I've looked at and as I previously stated they DO NOT list wheelbase for the specs. Thanks to the few that have posted useful information and actually answered my question about their tractors wheelbase.
