Yanmar YM2200 With a front end loader.
Model Year: 1978

I bought it to use while I was building a shop. I had an excavator do the original dig out for the foundation. I did the rest of the dirt work with the tractor. It worked great with a few minor problems. The size seemed just right. Any smaller and I would have a lot less useful. If it was bigger, I would have struggled working in close quarters. It is a 2wd tractor. To make the best use of it, I had to place a weight on the 3-point hitch for traction. With the weight it worked very well. I did have to replace the rear axle seals and do other minor maintenance on it. I have heard that parts availability is limited for the YM2200. I have found that to be NOT true. I have been able to find any part that I have needed.

Pros: Inexpensive, reliable, capable tractor. Is very good on fuel.
Cons: It is an older tractor.
