I can't believe these Yanmars in the mud!!

[dieselfuelonly]

I just have to say, I don't think I have ever seen any vehicle quite so capable in the mud as our Yanmar tractors.

I have scooped out a small pond while it was raining with the dirt scoop, and I never even got close to getting stuck.

Last night we had our annual Halloween Party and I hooked the little trailer for the lawn tractor up to the Yanmar and even with about 500lbs. of people in it after about 2 days of non stop rain I never had to once put the thing in 4WD even going up slight inclines.

I guess those rice paddy tires with the huge lugs on them help a lot, or maybe it is something else. But nonetheless, I have yet to even get CLOSE to getting my little 1401D stuck in the mud. Has anyone else??

They're designed to run half submerged! Here's a photo I copied off the Yanmar (Japan) website.

It took me a while to get to those photos California so I thought I would lump them together here Hope you don't mind.

Grrrr, here's another mudder photo. I think this is a Hinomoto. They are excellent tractors too, but we don't see many of them.

Hadnt realized my new (to me) tractor was half fish. Or would that be salamander. Come spring, my little 155D is gonna come in mighty handy.

I think it is a Kubota...1802 possibly. Pretty sure it is not a Hinomoto.

Your probably right.

I should have just captioned that 'another ricepaddy photo'.

It's not as if it makes any substantive difference...... Just tossed it out since it looks like what I remember as the Kubota xx02 series....we had a few back in the early or mid 90s.
