Cub Cadet Yanmar EX3200 Reviews
Bought Cub ex3200 with turf tires new in 2008, other than routine maintenance haven’t had to do anything till this year, finally replaced battery after 17 NE winters. It’s never even had a hose leak. Most reliable, durable machine I’ve ever owned. It’s a tank, we’ve beat the crap out of it. Highly recommend. I’ve read Yanmar dealers will service orphaned cub compacts.
Also own same year 2008, same ish yanmar specs green 2520. Less hours, its had more dealer sleepovers than we’d like. It’s good green has lots of quality dealers and they do, as a wise green man once said, “need them you will”. Twice broken front wheel bearings, leaking front gear box, front drive not engaging, multiple hose leaks and had to replace the battery years ago.

Very Pleased Thus Far.....

Although this is a recent purchase and my personal, long term experience with this tractor is yet to be determined, I have done some trenching (w/ backhoe), moved dirt/brush and installed roof trusses for a shed expansion project. I have been very pleased with it so far. It has performed well. Given that I purchased it used with over 500 hours, I am able to see how it has held up. Other than a little scratched paint here and there, and a minor hydraulic leak, it appears almost like new. It fired right up last week on a subfreezing morning (5 seconds of glow plug). I'm impressed with how little fuel it burns for the loads i have been putting on it.
Pros: Build quality, value, performance.
Cons: Getting in/out of the seat is a little tight (6'-1" tall) but once in the seat, I'm comfortable.

Yanmar EX3200
Model Year: 2011
This is a great little work horse. Horsepower for its size is excellent, response is great, and I really like the size in order to get into tight spots. Still breaking it in at this point, but very impressed.
Pros: Well built, reliable, ease of use, plenty of torque for its size.
Cons: None that I can mention at this time.

Great Power Build Quality and User Friendly
Model Year: 2008
I followed many reviews and was able to do a few test runs of different makes before finalizing my decision. For 32HP, it does all I need and I am sure it can be worked harder and longer if one needed it commercially. Good on fuel, direct injected motor, I confess being a diesel junky owning several power strokes and a vw direct injected powered car.
Pros: Power, economy, easy to use, build quality.
Cons: Tight operating area.

In the year and a half that I have used the tractor, it has had no breakdowns, I do all of the maintenance myself. It is used for some rough cut mowing, some finish mowing, road maintenance, and various other land owner type tasks. I have recently been using it for snow removal, it has worked for that, except I need to add tire chains.
Pros: Great all around utility tractor.
Cons: Could use a larger tractor with more power at times.

Light Duty Cub Cadet Yanmar with Loader
Model Year: 2009
This is only my second modern compact. Preceded by a Bolens G274 for a year. Been using old IH Farmalls for years. Functions good. Starts easy. Easy to get on and off. Did fine tilling my garden, moving and tossing compost, raking my 300' driveway, and lifting and moving my collection of old garden tractors. My property is muddy clay so the R4 tires have made me a little cautious. It's not as sturdy or heavy duty as the Bolens but it is enough for my needs. The dealer sold it to me as a leftover 2010. I found out later it was actually a 2009.
Pros: Low cost.
Cons: The dealer.

Great Tractor for the Money

I purchased it from Elberta Hardware in Elberta Alabama, Very nice and helpful people they delivered it to my house ready to go.
Pros: Everything, just the perfect compact tractor.
Cons: None.

The tractor was a great value for the features and options that came with it. The Yanmar engine is superb and with it came a great reputation for reliability. It is well designed and executed. Since it is brand new, the performance and reliability have yet to be proven, but so far it has exceeded my expectations and already has proven itself a good worker. Fuel economy seems to be really decent. Dealer experience was fantastic. Overall, and excellent tractor for the homeowner who wants more but not willing to spend huge money.
Pros: Size, agility, turning radius, hand controls, easy to maintain, side by side pedals.
Cons: No cup holder (small issue).

Great Tractor

This is a great tractor. I have spent time on several different tractors and this one is the best so far. It is very strong and have had no regrets of the purchase.
Pros: Very strong. Great sound. Best looking tractor out there.
Cons: Haven't found any.

Nice Machine/Plenty of Power
Model Year: 2008
The only thing I don't like is the platform is a little tight for the bigger guy. Maybe it's because they want you to lose a little around the belly! Other than that I like it! Every thing is as advertised. Can't beat it for the money!
Pros: Perfect for what I have at my place! It didn't break the bank!
Cons: Seat doesn't move back far enough. Could be a little more room on platform.

EX3200 TBL
Model Year: 2010
I bought mine with the backhoe and the dealer threw in the three point arms for free. Been leveling an area off for a new garage, next to my pole barn. It will rip up stumps like no bodies business. Genes truck sales in Coleman Michigan knew how to sale. Told me to hold off till march to get the better deal. They even let me borrow their trailer to get it home. My trailer wouldn't haul it after they loaded the tires for free. It is small enough to go threw my woods without making large roads and this fall I will be putting in food plots with it. Great machine.
Pros: Nice size with all the extras, seems to be easy on the fuel also.
Cons: Dosen't have a mid PTO, just rear one.

Cub-Yanmar Experience
Model Year: 2009
I have found this to be a very capable tractor. It was my only tractor for the last two winters and have moved a lot of snow with the FEL. I like its maneuverability and low engine noise and fuel efficiency. The only bad thing is that the stock industrial tires get very hard and slippery when cold, so I had to get a set of chains for the rear. I would recommend this tractor to anyone.
Pros: Maneuverable & reliable.
Cons: No telescoping arms for three-point.

Have had the tractor going on two years now and it has worked out great. Have not had a single issue with it. Have done regular maintenance to it (oil changes,filters) and that is it. The tractor has plenty of power for brush hogging and loader work. Great size for getting around in tight spots like my timber. The 60" belly mower does a great job mowing as well. My regular uses are bush hogging, mowing the yard and using the loader when cutting firewood, removing snow and reworking my lane. Also runs a post hole digger very well. It is nice to use the smaller sized tractor instead of trying to get around with one of the bigger ones.
Pros: Plenty of power, the loader is a breeze to put on take off. Alot of features similiar to the big tractors
Cons: I put the turf tires on it. I didn't figure I would use it as much as I do other than mowing
