Yanmar Tractor YM226 Diesel
Engine: 3T75U
3 cylinder
19 Horsepower
12 speed Powershift transmission
When John Deere selected Yanmar to manufacture their compact tractors in the 1980's; they did so for a reason.... Yanmar knows how to build a tractor. These tractors are not cheap "homeowner" tractors like the tractors you might find at a home improvement store . These are agricultural tractors that are designed and built to work for a living. Don't be fooled by their little size; these are real workhorses.
 The YM226 has a slightly larger frame than the 186 but is just as maneuverable. It also gets an extra bump in horsepower up to 19. The 226 comes factory equipped with a three point hitch.
These heavy duty front gearboxes (on 4wd models) use a unique pinion gear design instead of a typical u-joint to allow much sharper turns and make this tractor one of the most maneuverable on the market.. The gearboxes are easily serviced by checking a dipstick on the axle.
 The engine is a powerful and reliable 3 cylinder, water cooled, Yanmar diesel producing 19 horsepower. This is the same diesel engine that has a long and trusted history in t he marine engine market. FYI- Yanmar was founded in 1912 and built their first diesel engine in 1930. They built the worlds first small horizontal diesel engine in 1933

The YM226 series compact tractor has the powershift transmission. This is not a hydrostat! This is a mechanical transmission that offers solid, no slip shifting. Even under a heavy load! This transmission allows you to shift between reverse, neural, and 3 forward gears without touching the clutch. You also get three additional range gears so there is a perfect gear for any job.
The differential lock pedal allows you to easily lock both wheels together when additional traction is required. When disengaged, it allows you to make tighter turns without tearing up your turf.
The YM226 series has all of the necessary warning lights to alert you of any potential problems. It also has a mechanical tachometer and hourmeter. The decompression lever and intake heater make starting in cold weather easy. The powerful headlights and turn signals are great for those jobs that seem to take a little longer than expected.
These tractors also have a 3 speed pto which will allow you to adjust your pto speed to match your conditions as well as a standard three point hitch so you can hook up to almost any standard implement..

ROPS (roll over protection structure)
