Yanmar's website gives a weight of a ROPS model YT359 with filled tires. Has anyone with a cab and front end loader, with loaded or empty tires, actually weighed the tractor?? Its hard to make an apples to apples comparison when companies report tractor weights differently. One contributor reported a weight of 6800 lbs. with cab and FEL. Not sure if that was a guesstimate or an actual weight from scales.
YT359C with FEL weight?

I can tell you the liquid weight in each tire, its documented in my loader manual, the LXes have the same rear tires as the YT359.
Tire: 75% full with 3.3 lbs of Calcium Chloride per gallon of water for no slush at -11 degrees Fahrenheit
R1 Ag Tire: 473lbs of liquid each
R4 Industrial Tire: 550lbs of liquid each

I now believe the weights you see published on the website do not include filled tires. "Full fluid" must refer to hydraulic oil, engine oil, and coolant. A simple call to the sales rep should help clarify this.
