Yanmar 424​

Tractor hitch
Rear Type:	1 (limited)
Control:	position control
Rear lift (at 24"/610mm):	1209 lbs 548 kg

This would be a deal breaker for me, possibly not for you.

Mounting and adjusting TPH implements always requires effort.

A significant portion of TPH implements will not adjust properly with a Cat 1 (limited) TPH. One can become frustrated trying to determine what will operate properly and what will not when implement shopping.



This would be a second deal breaker for me.

What is the value of 3 range HST vs. 2 range?

Hi all, I'm very close to my first tractor purchase ever and it's become a choice between the Kubota B2601 and the Kioti CK2510. Both will be equipped with loader, backhoe, and grapple. I'm on 3 acres of hilly land, half of which is heavily wooded and unlikely ever to be fully cleared although...

Thank you, agreed. The extra $3-5k is worth being able to use and adjust a wider range of 3ph equipment - especially an auger.

Regarding the LX2610SU, do you have any feedback on options/attachments?

I spec'd one online and selected the following, anything I may not need or may need - I'm not super familiar with some of these items.

Check this site out for the Yanmar SA424 it has all
the information you need. Yanmar also has upto a
$2,000 rebate Yanmar also has a 10 year drive train
warranty and ex-military get a discount also. I don't
know if they have a bumper to bumper warranty didn't
look. I have my YT235 very happy with it!

Go down to the bottom of forums to the Yanmar section
and ask them about the SA424 tractor what they think
about it.

Hi Willy,

Thanks for the tip - I really like the SA424 but am afraid it's not going to do the variety of tasks I need here and elsewhere. The YT235 is amazing but sadly, it's going to be very pricey ($30-33+k locally for one without a cab). If I lived in Oklahoma or Atlanta, one could be had for $26,5 which is slightly more than I want to spend, but my local dealers are pretty greedy.

The SA424 works remarkable well in tight locations. It comes with a CAB as an option too. My machine is 3 generations prior the the SA424 and I love it.

The Yanmar parts support will be outstanding as the engine is a globally supported. Parts will be there even after 20 years.

Yanmar engines are in many brands. RK tractors, John Deeres, Cub Cadets, Komatsu, Yanmar Marine, various brand name gensets, etc. So parts and basic tune up items will be EZ to find.

Kubota is like John Deere. It's there way or nothing for parts. Lots of proprietary things involved with less of a global offering.

Kukje or Kukji is Korean. They have been partnered with Yanmar for over 60+ years making Yanmar parts. Kukje even makes a few of the Yanmar engines under license. Mostly the Yanmar F 3-digit Series machines. Again, parts are EZ to find for Yanmar in all parts of the globe.

thank you for this, might try the korean brands

Regarding the LX2610SU, do you have any feedback on options/attachments?

I'm not super familiar with some of these items.

Nor am I, although I try to keep up with Kubota offerings.

Here is what I recommend through personal experience:


1 RATCHETING LIFT ROD KIT $128.00
(B2667)
1 TELESCOPIC LOWER LINK KIT $231.00
(B2677)
1 LOADER LX2610/LX3310 W/GRILL GUARD $4,231.00
(LA535)
1 54" QUICK ATTACH BUCKET $516.00 (SSQA?)
(B2371)

Any questions on above?

Third function kit opens and closes grapple jaws. You do not need a grapple picking up one acre.

Unlikely you need mechanical self-leveling on one acre.

Other options you list I am not familiar with. Sorry.

Consider Korean tractor brands.

The most efficient way to shop for tractors is to first identify potential tractor applications, then, through consulataton, establish bare tractor weight necessary to safely accomplish your applications. Tractor dealers, experienced tractor owners and TractorByNet.com are sources for weight recommendations.

Sufficient tractor weight is more important for most tractor applications than increased tractor horsepower. Bare tractor weight is a tractor specification easily found in sales brochures and web sites, readily comparable across tractor brands and tractor models, new and used.

Thanks again Jeff, this is very helpful!
