You guys make GREAT videos. I work for a Yanmar dealer and I've forwarded my customers links to your videos more times than I count. They have been an invaluable resources for us. Thank you Team Tractor Bob's
I just bought a Yanmar 424 with four point ROPS and 60” box blade and some LED lights mounted front and back on the ROPS. $24k delivered. It was in stock and I took delivery immediately. I’ll bet I could’ve saved about $1000 if I looked around and waited, but I’ve already gotten so much work done this year with it and the roof is an absolute lifesaver in full sun that I have zero regrets. So happy with my purchase.
Thanks for this in-depth review. I am in the market for a sub or compact tractor and leaning toward Yanmar, the JD is out, I just hate anything JD. Right now it is a toss up between Kubota and the Yanmar, leaning heavily toward the Yanmar based on cost. However, I hear the resale value of Kubotas is much better, but I don't really have any intention of selling. I am hoping that whichever tractor I purchase will last me at least 10+ years.
Get bigger then, first tractor is rarely your last. I know in Kubota and Deere you can jump up a size and get a more basic model for equal or less money. Say a deer 3e. To me no medium gear is a deal breaker I find myself in medium 80% of the time. I don't know yanamr but Kubota will lift more then Deere on the 3point hitch .
Wow, I’m disappointed in a non-split brake system. That feature has got me out of a number of tight spots which would have been very problematic otherwise.
Which tractor has the highest front lift? Looks to me that the Kubota and Yanmar were so close I could not tell, John Deere looked the lowest. Doesn't the Kubota and Yanmar have cast iron rear end housing, and the john deere have aluminum? I understand that john deere won't warranty breakage of rear axle if a backhoe attachment has been used. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I bought a Yanmar 324 last year, I did a ton of research before buying. I wish you made this video a year ago. lol In all honesty I wish I could of combined features from both the yanmar and Kubota. At the end of the day the only thing I really wish Yanmar would consider is moving the brake pedal to the other side, they are times it would be nice to feather both break and throttle, which is hard when they are on the same side.
Proud owner of a 324. Happy with its performance and reliability. I am unhappy with the plastic hood. If you spill any fuel the plastic will become brittle. On my tractor, the hood hinge broke through. This is a failure in materials selection. The hood is an absolute pos. Also be aware that the front loader uses a proprietary mounting system and the selection of attachments is very limited when compared to the other manufacturers.
Yes, Yanmar uses their own quick detach loader bucket attachment.... but you buy thebwuick detach brackets for $175 and have them welded onto any implement you need. And you can also covert it to skid steer quick detach for $1,000 and still be $2,000 cheaper than the kubota

Are there dealers in ontario canada ?
Do you have anything like this for the 50HP range?
Yes check out my latest video on the YT3 series, I also have a video on the YM series as well, both are yanmar tractors in the 50hp range.

Why are you choosing the B kubota and not the LX?
The LX is significantly more tractor and at a really premium tractor in comparison.
Thanks for watching part 1! PART 2 IS NOW AVILABLE TO WATCH!
Yanmar is the top choice!
My buddy bought the yanmar and i got the johnny. He seems to have more problems than me. But i broke that stupid plastic hood real quick.

Drop a bowling on the hood of the tractors and see which one you prefer. Thanks for the video
Plastic is not an upgrade over steel. I would only buy the Kubota
That's debatable.
@@bradbruggeman6745you’re not lying it completely comes down to the owners and the use case
John deere hoods always are cracked. What a pita
So yanmar, just say it
Oh this is not bias at all
You lost me at "unit"

This guy has a deal with yanmar, that's why he can sell them for cheaper. Don't listen to sponsored videos. They are all one sided.
keep taking that blue pill, ignorance is bliss.
