Yes, they have the shibaura. Seems like a solid engine.

Well went and tested Massey and Kioti today. Massey 1735M is too big for my need, and wasn稚 impressed with Kioti. Going to buy the Yanmar YT235 Monday.

Congratulations.
I'm curious, when you say is too big, what do you exactly mean.
According to Yanmar website their YT235 is 58.3 inches, which usually is with Ag Tires. If you select R4 tires that will increase tractor width.
If I'm not mistaken the Kubota L3560 has to be almost the same size with R4 tires.

But at the end you willing pick the equipment you want and see fit for your needs

Well I never saw the L3560, I was just told by the dealer that it痴 a good amount larger than the L3901, so I figured it was too big for my need. I assumed incorrectly that the 1735M was the same size or very close to the 1739E, and it痴 no comparison in person lol. Tires were much larger (both had R4). Just overall height and width. So it was back to comparing the Massey 1739E to the YT235. And I thought the yt235 was much nicer IMO.

Lol first glance as the 1735M after viewing all of these sub compact and compact tractors I thought 電ear god that痴 big

I just looked up the dimensions on both the 1735M and 1739, I didn't realize there was that much of a size difference either, the weight is a lot more also.

That Yanmar is a great piece of equipment

The YT235 is much closer in size to a standard L Kubota than a Grand L. It’s 65in wheelbase 2500lb bare tractor which is a good size for a lot of folks.

Congrats on the choice. Yanmar is definitely a great manufacturer and the YT’s look really cool.

You made a good choice, although they all are quality machines. Make sure that you post pics.

And all phones post in hieroglyphics on this site.
