I tested the open station the other day. I was very impressed with that tractor. I tested the A/B mode, the auto throttle, the rpm boost. The boost does work well when scooping dirt. I didn’t even touch the clutch, lol. Believe or not,…one of my favorite features is the tilt steering. Ive had to climb around the steering wheel on all of the compact tractors that I’ve been on. It makes it noticeably convenient to enter and exit the tractor. Also,…you should do a demo of exactly how the tractor works when the auto throttle is on and off. I think a lot of people don’t understand how it works.
So the YM series is pretty much that but unfortunately there is no cab option. I think it’s safe to say that Yanmar has been pretty smitten with the performance and reliability of the I-HMT transmission in this series of Tractor. Personally, I just wish they would make a few changes to the controls of the tractor to allow us to utilize more of the capabilities of the transmission..
@@prequipmentsales So after researching this machine extensively I do believe this is the route we'll go when the time comes. I do have a question, after researching the transmission I somewhat understand how it works. It works as a hydro with a pump side and motor side but can lock and form a very efficient direct mechanical transmission. So how do you know the transmission is in the mechanically locked zone? Maybe I'm missing something but that's my basic understanding. Thanks!
@@prequipmentsales 👍 Biggest problem I have here in the Dyersburg Tennessee area is that you can throw a rock and hit a John Deer or Case dealer but I gotta drive 2+hrs to find anything like yanmar or JCB. So that makes getting service or parts challenging. Especially agriculture dealers because there all in the surrounding states over 150 miles away. Edit: I've been looking at the yanmar harvester also but I haven't noticed them in the states yet either.
So there’s already a button in the joystick for the factory 3rd function valve. In total there’s three buttons. Throttle boost, mode a/b and 3rd function
Quite a difference actually. The Kubota is simply an electronically controlled hydrostat whereas the Yanmar is closer to a CVT. Would be more similar to the KVT Kubota used in their larger tractors.
Got the 359 and its awesome. one thing is the quick connect couplers. the drip fluid with every disconnect. Not just a drop. I've got several compact track loaders and none of them leak when connecting or disconnecting.
Your CTL uses leak free flat face couplers vs pioneer style on the tractor. Pretty much all AG equipment has been consistently using the pioneer for decades so it’s hard to change even though the flat face couplers are newer, better couplers. Thanks for watching.
Hey sorry I missed your comment. If you’ll text your inquiry to 903-270-0877 one of my salespeople will be glad to provide that answer. Yanmar has a policy about “advertising” prices online that are below MAP pricing so I’ve got to be careful. We sell well below MAP and will hook you up with a deal. Also ask about discounts for preordering.
Truth is the clutch isn’t really needed for anything on this tractor. However some people still are used to a clutch they put it in there. To drive the tractor though you never have to use it and when shifting ranges it just needs to be stationary the clutch doesn’t have to be in.
I've been looking at this and no one wants to touch on why the accelerator pedal is so far to the right. Im going to be doing a lot of loading and logging work on the ranch and the controls just seem to be.. Jack of all trades but master of none. Loading and bucked grading is no problem. Going in, grabbing a few trees, reversing.. Seems like a lot of octopus hands all over the place. The shuddle shift im used to. Constantly taking your hands of the wheel and controls looks like quite a pain. A regular 2 peddle hydrostatic seems like it would work better in the woods because things come up quickly..
I’ve got to be honest when I say that we’ve sold a lot of these tractors over the last few years and you’re the first person who has ever commented on pedal placement. I guess the hours that I’ve run it. I’ve never noticed it either. I don’t think the twin pedal system is a bad way to go. We sell lots of models of tractors in that configuration. However, the I-HMTis more efficient and a little more precise in control and features. You can set your tractor based off engine speed, ground speed, or even PTO speed as a baseline. It’s a pretty sweet rig, but if it’s not your cuppa tea or Massey lineup has a suite, twin pedal e-servo Hydro.
@@prequipmentsales my concern is the forward and reverse for loading work with the transmission. I'm used to a shuttle shifter flicking it up and down. Is this one going to be happy doing it for 1000 hours? Most of its hard work is going to be clearing and maintaining trails. Tight trails so the more nimble, the better. After that it's just going to be brush hogging and helping friends. It's the control in those tight spaces I'm concerned about. Thanks!
This actually a shuttle shift like you’re thinking. You’re basically flipping the hydraulic pump the opposite direction which is why it’s so incredibly smooth. There’s no additional wear. Similar to a hydro however begins to transition to mechanical at higher speeds
I just inspected a yt359 at a local dealership and I must agree with that comment about the foot throttle being too far to the right. Also, people were asking about the fenders/hood material. The rear fenders are plastic. I do think the tractor is one of the better ones for cab and size. Only a good demo will convince me. @@prequipmentsales
Typically tractors between 25-75hp will use regen and 75 and above use DEF. I'm working on another video that will dive deeper into the topic of emissions systems.
This tractor with like 40hp, and a little smaller rear tires would be perfect. I need something hydrostatic that’s a little bigger than the 235 but a little smaller than this 347.. I need something with power but a little lighter so I’m not wrecking customer driveways.
One of the best explanations of the transmission I've seen. Nice job!!
Thanks!!!
Great video. Yanmar makes excellent equipment and the YT series is one of the best compact tractors on the market.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Nice Video!

Can the A and B modes be used in reverse? For example, A programmed to go forward, B programmed for reverse?
Do the open station models come with tilt steering?
love this tractor wish they had closer dealers to me
Where are you located?
@@prequipmentsales so ca
Maybe i missed it. Is the body (fenders, hood) steel?
Yes it is.
What about wheel weights? Haven't seen any offered
We got some in stock how many do you need?
@@prequipmentsales Just wondered if they were some on the yt359
@@mikefrench3800 they’re not standard but we tried to keep some in stock!
@@prequipmentsales been interested in rear wheel weights but they don't seem to be available.
Reach out to our Kerens parts specialist Kevin at 903-270-0877. He can hook you up.
Will they ever offer this tractor but with a standard shuttle transmission?

Any idea if yanmar will ever bring their larger tractors to the states?
Far as I know the YT59 was the largest currently offered here 🤔
I believe that’s the plan

hi, is this equipment suitable for ym347a
also how many lbs of sand can i lift at one time with this equipment?
We’ll it has 2500lbs lift but when you subtract the bucket I’d say easily 2000lbs
Also if you order a 3 function on frontend, do y'all install another button? and where
So there’s already a button in the joystick for the factory 3rd function valve. In total there’s three buttons. Throttle boost, mode a/b and 3rd function
Transmission sounds very similar to the Kubota L60 series though the Kubota has a high/low "splitter"

What's the price on a 60 hp yanmar tractor
Depends a lot on how you purchase/finance due to the rebate but loaded with cab would start in the upper mid/upper 40’s.
Just to clarify, clutch is only required to switch between 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, correct? Shuttle on dash for forward and reverse.
Truth is the clutch isn’t really needed for anything on this tractor. However some people still are used to a clutch they put it in there. To drive the tractor though you never have to use it and when shifting ranges it just needs to be stationary the clutch doesn’t have to be in.

Make news vidos about the yt359 cab!!!
This one isn’t that old but we do have one we’re working on showcasing a custom setup we just finished.
@@prequipmentsales It's just that there aren't many videos of these tractors in action. I would like to see them used by someone like a farmer.
What tractor starts with regin need to put Def fluid in
