Which engine is used in the Yanmar YB20 excavator?

Jaap,
Glad to help.
Is the German manual for the YB20 in PDF to share?

Yes, I would like to see how the plow fits on the forks too.

I have a hard copy (of not very good quality, but it is readable). I will see if I can scan it in the near future, and share it.

The lift height is what I noticed. Pic.4 my guess is the forks are around 10' then another 8' lift section. That could come in real handy also. Esp. with a pallet type deck to work on.

Yes in the past I have put a large pallet (3 x 1 meter) on the forks and used it as a platform to do work at a few meters above ground level.

A little safer is an IBC tote. Remove the plastic tank, use the cage as a platform lift on your forks.

Also, the IBC cage can be used as a Carry-All.

Here is a low resolution version of the scan of the German Manual, attached to this reply. The original scan is 31 Mb so I cannot upload it here due to the upload size limitations.

Thank you so much!

I recently bought a 1996 yb401w...a 3.8t yanmar wheeled excavator, I'm really struck by the build quality.

You are very crafty, I like it.

"Crafty" in the ingenious fabricator sense!

All the best,
