Show off your Yanmars! (Picture Thread)

[blacktruck]

Nice tractor! I see a fair number of the yellow and black Yanmars around here, and I really like them. The dealer is about 5-10 minutes away, and picked up Yanmar after the Cub Cadet deal folded. I'll be seeing Yanmar tractors for years to come, but the black and yellow was unique.

When I bought mine, I had no idea that deal would ever collapse. It's been a good tractor for me. No issues during 350ish hours. A few years ago, when I did need s shut off solenoid, I found the local Yanmar dealer wanted nothing to do with it. The dealer I had originally bought it from was a long time mower/small equipment dealer and was very well known and thought of. I bought my tractor and two years later, the dealership was gone... I never planned to keep it so long but my work kept me out of the country for several years so it didn't get used much for a few years. I do want a new tractor but that is due more to wanting some of the other features being offered on todays models. I'll probably keep this one and just add another tractor. They did indeed come up with a good color combination for them. Good looking and tough little tractors indeed.

It's good to see this thread still active and with so many great little tractor pics. I put a picture of my Sc2400 on here when I first adapted the YL110 FEL to it 2-1/2 years ago. Here's a shot of my tractor pulling snow duty early in this never-ending winter. We've had 5 feet of snow (and another storm due next week), so it's been getting lots of use. I have the much maligned SB45, but its been bulletproof due to plenty of upgrades including an improved gearbox and the hydraulic angling as seen in the photo, which has really helped on my curvy driveway and path.

Holy cow 5' of snow may have gotten 8" total this year. Good thing you have the cab cuz I'm sure it's also cold there.

Pushing snow or blowing snow and brutal cold is not fun.

Nice looking setup

No snow this far south. Thank the lord. Had enough when I liveed in Chicongo back in the 70s. Now I just push dirt.

Wow! Those rear lights are nice. What are they and how did you mount them?

My new Yanmar SA425. Just bought it today! I'm a newbie... So I hope I did good. Don't even have it at home yet.

Did a lot of reading and watching vids. Bought it from a guy who is 3rd generation in this family business. I was treated well and the price was better than another dealer. Looked at other dealers and brands. Just didn't get the same vibe as I got from this dealer and tractor.

Any advice to a new tractor owner?

Not mine. Built in early 1980's model.

Not mine, but I guess this is also a Yanmar!?

Only the engine; the generations prior were built by Yanmar, I believe.

The interwebs said it was built by Yanmar. I trust them about as much as I trust JD.

Here is my new SA425. Picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Came with FEL; rear remotes were included as standard equipment. Added the 60” mower deck last week. Cutting 4.5 acres with our trusty JD LX178 with a 38” deck was an ~eight hour affair. The cutting time has dropped to under 3 hours with the SA425. The tractor has under 10 hours now. Initial plans are to add a Yanmar canopy, block heater and work lamps. Will also pick up a snow blade in a couple of months.

Nice Yanmar, nice Bratt, and nice Crosstrek; Subaru makes a good car.

Our daily driver is an Outback. Considered the Crosstrek, but the 2018 didn't have power seats. Long drives mommy and daddy need to adjust the seat or backs start to show their age.

YT347C I just purchased. Waiting on a flail mower to be delivered.

Yanmar LX4500, for those of you that own one, what are your thoughts?

Looking at one tomorrow. Need it like a hole in the head but want to drive one. It may be my next tractor.

Got to use the blower this year. We only had 6" or so and I kept it clear, but a wind storm put a 20" drift in my driveway. Cleared it out in no time with he SB52
