Yanmar YM226 series compact tractor.
Please note: we do not currently sell these tractors. This page is for information only.
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.
These
Yanmar 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 25
horsepower. This is the same Yanmar diesel that has a long
and trusted history in the 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
Yanmar 226 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 plus an additional high/low range- so there
is always 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 Yanmar 226 series tractor has all of the necessary warning
lights as well as a fuel level and temperature gauge to alert
you of any potential problems. It also has a mechanical tachometer
and hourmeter. The intake heater makes 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 4speed pto which will allow you to
adjust your pto speed to match your conditions as well as a standard
3 point that will hook up to almost any standard compact tractor
implement..

Like all of our tractors the 226 goes through our rigorous inspection
and testing process.
1 - All of the fluids are drained and inspected for possible
problems (water in oil, metal in oil, oil in water, rusty coolant,
etc)
2 - Belts and hoses are checked and replaced if necessary.
3 - The batteries are replaced with new ones. 4 - All new fluids
are added and new filters are installed.
5 - The tractor is then run through a series of tests to detect
any other possible problems (overheating, charging problems, steering,
brakes, lights, etc).
6 -Any problems are repaired.
7 - The tractor is then sanded down smooth, taped off and painted
with high quality industrial acrylic paint.
8 - We then reassemble the tractor looking for any other possible
problems and test it one more time. Finally we apply our new English
decals (click here for
more information) and the tractor is ready to go.
